The Called Chosen and Faithful will sit on thrones in judgment, and over them the second death (which is the Lake of Fire) has no power. They will be priests of God and Christ. They lived and reigned with Christ for 1,000 years.
And John saw the souls of those afflicted because of their
testimony in Christ and the word of God. As with the church of Smyrna, this affliction produces beauty and releases a sweet fragrance to those who are dead and dying. They did not worship the beast, his image, nor receive his mark, because they are the Bondservants of Jesus Christ.
