How does Christ comfort His martyrs according to Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ comforts His martyrs by promising them rest and assurance of justice for their suffering.

In Revelation 6:11, after the martyrs cry out for justice, they are given white robes and told to rest a little longer. This gesture signifies both comfort and assurance that their suffering is acknowledged and will be addressed. The white robes symbolize purity and victory, indicating that those who have endured trials for Christ are honored in heaven. Furthermore, Christ assures them that justice will be served when the appointed time is fulfilled, providing profound comfort to believers who face persecution. It reassures them that their faith will culminate in eternal rest and glory.
