When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.
· Jesus will release the fifth seal judgment against the Antichrist in the context of a significant increase of intercession. The prayer movement in heaven and on earth (Lk. 18:8) will increase at the fifth seal. The fifth seal judgment is against the Antichrist, not against the martyred saints. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
· The fifth seal judgment is more severe than the four preceding it. The judgments increase in intensity as the seals unfold. The fourth seal resulted in the death of one fourth of the earth. The first four seals were the wicked acting against each other as God removed His restraining hand.
· The blood of the martyrs crying out for justice in the fifth seal is powerful. It will release a new order of supernatural judgments seen in the sixth seal, followed by the trumpets and bowls. There is an acceleration of judgment after the fifth seal. It is the turning point in Revelation.
2 Samuel 1:19 The beauty of Israel is slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
Psalm 119:88 Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, so that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.
