“I saw the souls of those killed because they
had held firm in their witness to the Word of God. They were gathered under the Altar and cried

white robe and told to sit back and wait until the full number of martyrs was
filled from among their servant companions and friends in the faith”
(Revelation 6:9-11 MSG).
