Opening fifth seal
Revelation 6: 9-11
And after it opened seal five, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were sacrificed, that were killed for the word of God, and for the testimony, which they had received.
And it was said to them, that they should rest yet for a small time, till also time of their fellowservants and their brethern, that should be killed as they, had become full.
And they cried with a loud voice:
How long , o Ruler, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given to everyone of them.
