Revelation Lesson #61 THEM THAT WERE SLAIN: the price paid for trusting in the Lord and obeying "the word of God." The outline is given in Jesus' second sermon on the mount. 1st Seal—false christs (Matthew 24:5) 2nd Seal—wars (Matthew 24:6) 3rd Seal—famines (Matthew 24:7) 4th Seal—pestilence (Matthew 24:7) All of these are the beginnings of sorrows (Matthew 24:8) 5th Seal—deliver you to be killed (Matthew 24:9) Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. HOW LONG?: They are asking God to end His longsuffering to avenge them. Revelation 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. BRETHREN, THAT SHOULD BE KILLED AS THEY WERE: The fact that God allows their murderous deaths expresses proof of eternal life since this life cannot be the end. God insures the endurance of the faithful through supernatural protection from deception and the eventual godly vindication when He punishes His enemies. The initial act of aggression leading to the murder of so many Jews at the altar will be followed up by a systematic search for all remaining Jews. For the remainder of Daniel's Seventieth Week many others will be hunted down and killed. Hitler's murder of six million Jews will pale in comparison to this genocidal action (Revelation 7:13-14). The Antichrist has a special death that awaits them, for we read, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death" (Revelation 12
