“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.”
Then I heard a voice from heaven say, 'Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.' 'Yes,' says the Spirit, 'they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them' - those who remain faithful even unto martyrdom are declared blessed. Their rest from labor contrasts with the restless torment of those who worship the beast; their deeds (faithful testimony) follow as their eternal legacy.
