judgment and the taking of vengeance upon the inhabitants
of the earth for our blood?"
006:011 And there was given to each of them a long white robe,
and they were bidden to wait patiently for a short time longer,
until the full number of their fellow bondservants should
also complete--namely of their brethren who were soon to be
killed just as they had been.
006:012 When the Lamb broke the sixth seal I looked, and there was

on the throne and from the anger of the Lamb;
006:017 for the day of His anger--that great day--has come, and who is

a seal belonging to the ever-living God. He called in a loud
voice to the four angels whose work it was to injure the earth
