       Here, we meet the first martyrs of the Tribulation period. Since the Antichrist may have declared himself as God at this point, anyone then who does not agree with him will be prosecuted, even unto death. This then will include both Jewish and Christian people. The text says they were “slain for the word of God.” This means obviously that they had Bibles, for the Bible is likely going to be outlawed. This is because the world, under the Antichrist, believes it to be false. The text also says, “and for the witness they had borne.” Realize then that these believers in Jesus Christ have been preaching his Word, telling the Gospel, and probably doing one-on-one evangelism. Recall, these martyrs are people who have believed in God after the Rapture of the Church. So, these people ask God to be avenged, and they do this calling God “Sovereign.” This name for God is important because it goes to show that he still is in control. As a matter of fact, he is the one who has been displaying his wrath on the world through these Seal Judgments.
