Revelation
6:9-11
Opening
the Fifth
Seal
-
6:9
When he opened the fifth seal, I
saw under the altar the souls of
those who had been slain because
of the word of God and the
testimony they had maintained.
10
They called out in a loud voice,
"How long, Sovereign Lord, holy
and true, until you judge the
inhabitants of the earth and
avenge our blood?"
11
Then each of them was given a
white robe, and they were told to
wait a little longer, until the
number of their fellow servants
and brothers who were to be
killed as they had been was
completed.
This
is the Word of the Lord ... It is
meant to change the way that we
think, and the way that we live.
Commentary
by Bob
Pardue
The 5th
Seal of Revelation
These
people who had suffered and died
because of their beliefs were
crying out for justice.
We
sometimes do the same but God
will execute justice in His on
time and in His own way.
He will
reward those who died martyrs
because of Him but we must be
patient until God sees fit to
judge and administer glory on
those who love Him.
Did you
know that Christians are being
arrested, tortured and even
killed because of their faith
even today? Well, it's certainly
true in communist and Muslim
countries such as China, Viet
Nam, and countless
others.
Please pray
for those who are persecuted in
foreign lands for nothing more
than their belief in Jesus
Christ. Ask God to protect them
and make them strong in their
faith. - Thank you.
Love in
Christ

If you have
never made the commitment to
receive the love and
life-changing experience of Jesus
Christ, please take a moment to
go
here
and take the first
steps
to salvation.
