Subject: how do we know people we never met |
Bible Note: Dear Brother Kalos, Here's a thought. They cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. (Revelation 6:10-11 ESV) If we are to take this passage at face value, there is at least an implication that the martyred servants know one thing about what is happening on the earth; i.e., their blood has not been avenged. Of course, they might know these things without direct observation. In Him, Doc |
