When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slainfor the word of God and for the witness they had borne.<\/span> They cried out with a loud voice, \u201cO Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?\u201d<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants\u00a0and their brothers\u00a0<\/span>should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. \u00a0(Revelation 6:9-11)<\/span><\/p>\n
