Rev 6:9-10 [§56] Martyrdom During the Fifth Seal

This podcast describes the fifth seal in the Book of Revelation described by John in Revelation 6:9-10. As explained in this video, the fifth seal is called the millennium of martyrdom that began with the birth of Jesus Christ and ended in 1000 AD. The most transcendent event in this period was the atonement of Jesus Christ, but John’s focus was on the martyrdom of saints that began after Christ was crucified. The message of martyrdom is symbolized by John’s vision of an altar in heaven and the souls of the martyrs beneath that altar. This imagery is explained in this podcast. Finally, this podcast also talks about the Great Apostasy when the true church of Jesus Christ was universally lost throughout the world during the period of the fifth seal and continuing for much of the sixth seal.
