6:9 揭開第五印的時候,我看見在祭壇底下,有為上帝的道、並為作見證被殺之人的靈魂,
6:10 大聲喊著說:「聖潔真實的主啊,你不審判住在地上的人,給我們伸流血的冤,要等到幾時呢?」
6:11 於是有白衣賜給他們各人;又有話對他們說,還要安息片時,等著一同作僕人的和他們的弟兄也像他們被殺,滿足了數目。
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
witness they had borne. 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.

在第五個封印打開之時,讓我們看見殉道者的靈魂,也讓我們聽見殉道者的聲音:「聖潔真實的主啊,你不審判住在地上的人,給我們伸流血的冤,要等到幾時呢?」
這樣的聲音讓我們知道上帝是慈愛的,因為上帝容許人向祂呼求,也願意讓人樂意來向祂說出心裡的話。並祂還將心意向人說明:「還要安息片時,等著一同作僕人的和他們的弟兄也像他們被殺,滿足了數目。」
可見上帝萬事都有命定,人的責任就是順服在上帝的主權之下,讓上帝完成祂的計畫。雖然我們不明白,我們可以問,可以說出心聲,但是凡事還是等候主的時間與作為,因為祂是主!
