The Book of Revelation: 6:9-11
In the fifth seal the scene shifts from earth to heaven and John sees a vision of those who will be martyred for their faith in Christ.
They are described as being under the altar, in keeping with the fact that the blood of the sacrifices of the Old Testament was poured out under the altar (Exodus 29: 12; Lev. 4:7). Who are these people? They cannot be martyrs of the Church Age; for they were raptured before the judgments of the tribulation began. They must be those martyred during the first months of the tribulation when the judgments of the first four seals were being poured out.
