Revelation 6:1-17, The Waiting Witnesses

When the six seals are opened, we see a picture of much destruction. Yet on the fifth seal, we see these waiting witnesses, the martyrs who have been killed for their faith. They wonder how long until they are avenged. Yet they are told to rest and to wait a little while longer. The saints that have died before us are in the presence of Christ, but they wait because Christ has not finished his redemptive work yet. In the mean time, we are called to live for Christ and his return. This is a public episode.
