These souls had been previously seen under the altar in Rev. 6:9.
The souls are pictured as reigning with Christ.
Nothing said about "us" reigning
"Judgment" was given to them. For what did these souls cry? "Vengence!"
They are now .[I wonder if John might have recogned the soul of his brother James? Acts 12
# Revelation 6 9
In this "1000 year" reign John did NOT see:
1. A bodily resurrection of bodies and spirits
2. A reign on earth from literal Jerusalem
3. A literal throne of David
4. "Us" (but it is rather the martyred "souls")
5. Christ on earth
6. Doesn’ t mention Jerusalm or Palestine
7. No mention of the Second Coming
IT IS:1. "They" and not "us"
2. Past Tense... not "we will reign"
3. Reign of souls is "with" Christ, not a 1000 year reign "of" Christ
4. No mention of an earthly reign
