Revelation 6: 9-11, The 5th Seal

thumbnail_FullSizeRenderRevelation 6: 9-11 (KJV) 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, Holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.


Why were the souls under the altar?

Where else in Bible are white robes being given mentioned? Does it have to do with end times? Is it related? If so, how?

How long is a little season?

Why does the text differentiate between “fellowservants” and “brethen”? What’s the difference?

Please post relevant Bible verses, comments, and thoughts….
