The Fifth Seal

There is a three-day time frame between the Fifth, Sixth, and the Seventh SEALS.

The Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17) is an event heaven and earth will witness (Matt.24:31).

At the Fifth SEAL (Re.6:9-11), the day PRIOR TO the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17), souls that WERE SLAIN (Re.6:11, Re.12:11) for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: cry with a loud voice, saying to the Lord, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not JUDGE and AVENGE our blood on them that dwell on the earth? The Lord replies to these souls under the altar that they should rest yet for a LITTLE SEASON, until their fellow servants (prophets - Amos 3:7, Re.22:8-9, Re.19:10) ALSO and their brethren, that should be killed AS THEY WERE, should be fulfilled (Re.6:11).

Their fellow servants also and their brethren that should be killed AS THEY WERE killed (Re.6:11) are saints of the most High (Matt.24:9, Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25, Dan.8:24, Re.12:17, Re.13:7, Re.13:15, Re.16:6, Re.17:6 Dan.12:6-7). They are those who will face the tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13.

A LITTLE SEASON (Re.6:11 below) is seven years. The seven years falls between the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17) and the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17) ascension.

White robes are given to every one of them who are under the altar (Re.6:11 below).

AFTER the Sixth SEAL and BEFORE the opening of the Seventh SEAL these same saints who are seen under the altar at the Fifth SEAL (Re.6:9) are again seen, this time before the throne of God wearing the white robes that were given at the Fifth SEAL. They are a great multitude, which no man can number, of all nations, and kindreds, and peoples, and tongues (Re.7:9).

A fellow servant (Re.6:11) is a prophet (Amos 3:7). It is interesting to note that John at Revelation 22:8-9 and Revelation 19:10 perceives his fellow servant of old as an angel until John is told, “: . . I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets . . .”
