Sermon Bible Commentary - Revelation 6:11

Revelation 6:11 The Intermediate State. I. In this passage we are told that the saints are at rest. "White robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season."

St. John, we here read, was allowed to behold the souls of the martyrs, and they were living beneath the altar of the Lord. What, then, is the altar?
