1 | Are these the same people? | Rev 7:15 | Thomas8 | 208305 | ||
7:15 says 'before the Throne' and 6:9 has 'under the alter.' Are these the same people? Thank you. |

Thomas Sorry I have been in here a while without posting and reading stuff and mistakenly thought you were some one else... It appears from the 7:15 passage that the ones standing before the throne were dead believers in heaven from the Great Tribulation serving God. It seems as if the passage 6:9 is talking about martyrs, but it does not say what time period they are from. It could be that they are all the dead from time immemorial, the OT and the NT saints, plus those in the Great Tribulation, it is just not clear... Perhaps if the Bible is silent, we can't really speculate too far? But look here at this part of it; the end of verse 9 and because of the testimony which they had maintained, and verse 11 where it says that they were told to rest a little while until the rest of their number should be completed - this is as if the dead there are waiting for more of their own kind to come in. And since this is taking place during the tribulation, that goes to that those under the altar are also from the tribulation, making them the same kind, but not necessarily the same exact group as you find in 7:15. peacebestill |
