SLAIN BECAUSE OF THE WORD OF GOD / REVELATION 6:9

(KJV) Revelation 6:9

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:

When the fifth seal is opened, John’s attention is drawn away from visions of what is going to happen on earth, and he again sees what is happening in heaven. Those “slain because of the word of God” are those who are killed for their faith in Christ and their stand for the truth of His Word. 

1. They are told to have patience, for many more will yet die for their faith (Revelation 7:13-14; 13:15; 18:24; 20:4).
2. The period of tribulation will be a terrible time of persecution for those who accept Christ during that period and remain faithful to God and His Word (Revelation 3:10; Revelation 7:9; 14:16). It is not directly stated who the martyrs are, though it seems certain that many are those who took a stand for Christ and were killed during the first part of the tribulation. Perhaps this group includes all those of past ages who were killed for their faith in Christ. Either way, they are alive with God in heaven.
