Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said
to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of
their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was
completed.

White
robes: declare the saints’ purity (the
opposite of the guilty verdict that men gave them) and assure the saints that
their prayers will be answered. They also speak of the victory. The elders
(Rev. 4:4) and saints wear them (Rev. 6:11; 7:9, 13, 14; 22:14).

Rest
and wait: they were not to stop crying for
vengeance, but were to rest with assurance. This is in contrast to the
persecution they just endured on earth (Rev. 14:8, 13). They were not to stop
interceding, but to be at peace, knowing that there was a time decreed for
vengeance.
