Revelation 6:9-10
6:9 Now when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been violently killed because of the word of God and because of the testimony they had given.
6:10 They cried out with a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Master, holy and true, before you judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?”
Revelation 11:7-10
11:7 When
they have completed their testimony, the beast that comes up from the abyss will make war on them and conquer
them and kill them.
11:8 Their
corpses will lie in the street
of the great city that is symbolically
called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was also crucified.
11:9 For three and a half days those from every
people, tribe,
nation, and language will look at their corpses, because they will not permit them to be placed in a tomb.
11:10 And those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate, even sending gifts to each other, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
Revelation 13:7-10
13:7 The beast
was permitted to go to war against the saints and conquer them.
He was given ruling authority
over every tribe, people,
language, and nation,
13:8 and all those who live on the earth will worship the beast,
everyone whose name has not been written since the foundation of the world
in the book of life belonging to the Lamb who was killed.
13:9 If anyone has an ear, he had better listen!
13:10 If anyone is meant for captivity,
into captivity he will go.
If anyone is to be killed by the sword,
then by the sword he must be killed.
This requires steadfast endurance and faith from the saints.
