Today Revelation Meditation : 25/09/2025 The book of Revelation Explanation Post -126 VII.2) ii) The Sea of Glass: "Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal." (Revelation 4:6) The sea of glass signifies being sanctified through tribulation. Therefore, it is a place for the martyrs. In Revelation 6:9 we read: "When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained." These are the martyrs from the foundation of the world until the taking up of the bride, the New Testament church. Though they died as martyrs, they had not reached the higher state of sanctification like the perfected saints. Yet, because they labored and died as martyrs, they are seen near the sea of glass. iii) The Sea of Glass Mixed with Fire: "And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name. They held harps given them by God." (Revelation 15:2) Beloved saints of the Lord, those who overcame the beast, its image, its mark, and the number of its name are seen standing beside the sea of glass mixed with fire (Revelation 15:2). The phrase "mixed with fire" refers to the great tribulation of the antichrist. "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again." (Matthew 24:21; Mark 13:19) "There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then." (Daniel 12:1) These words of the Lord reveal the dreadful reign of the antichrist during the great tribulation. Therefore, the martyrs of that period, who go through unparalleled suffering, will be worthy of a higher place in Zion. "Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been." (Revelation 6:11) Beloved saints, the souls of the martyrs under the altar were given white robes. The white robe signifies victory and holiness. It assures their salvation, showing that they were clothed with the white garment of Christ’s righteousness. The souls of the martyrs were able to speak, see, feel, understand, and even wear white robes. From this we understand that the soul remains conscious after death. Some teach that the soul has no awareness after death until the day of judgment when the body rises from the grave. It is true that the body in the grave has no life or sensation. But the soul never perishes. "It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body." (1 Corinthians 15:44–49) In the ministry of Christ, Apostle I.
