Rev 6:11 [§57] The “Great Apostasy” During the Fifth Seal

This podcast describes the context and meaning of the martyrdom mentioned by John in Revelation 6:11 as part of the fifth seal. John describes the martyrdom of two groups, including those of the ancient church of Jesus Christ, who were killed during the apostolic era and the time period known as the Great Apostasy. He states that these early martyrs will be at rest in the celestial paradise of the post-mortal spirit world until their fellow-servants, those of the latter-days, are likewise martyred. Martyrdom extends beyond the fifth seal and will continue during the sixth and seventh seals right up to the time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. These topics are the subject of this podcast.
