Revelation 14:13 Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. And I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, write, blessed are the dead which die (for the Lord, and) in the Lord. See Revelation 13:10 and the exposition thereof  - See KNOLLYS: Revelation 13:9 It is not dying for the Lord (only) that makes a blessed martyr, \ but dying in the Lord and for the Lord. Yea, saith the spirit, from henceforth, that is, from the time of their suffering death for the cause, gospel, kingdom, and testimony of Christ against Antichrist: They are blessed, that is eternally happy. That they may rest from their labours; Then no more labour, trouble, sorrow, or suffering, tribulation, persecution, etc. And their works do follow them; that is, the reward of grace and glory promised. \
