All the evidence indicates that this heavenly resurrection began in 1918m after Jesus' enthronement in 1914 and his riding forth to start his kingly conquest by cleansing the heavens of Satan
d his demon, yet, those resurrected anointed ones are told that they must "rest a little longer, until the number . . . also of their fellow slaves" is filled. Those of the John class still on earth must prove their integrity under trial and persecution, and some of these may yet be killed. Finally, though, all the righteous blood shed by Babylon the Great and her political paramours will be avenged. In the meantime, resurrected ones are doubtless busy with heavenly duties. They rest, not by relaxing in blissful inactivity, but in that they patiently await the day of Jehovah's vengeance. (Isaiah 34:8; Romans 12:19) Their rest will end when they witness the destruction of false religion and, as "called the chosen and faithful" ones, they accompany the Lord Jesus Christ in executing judgment on all parts of Satan's wicked seed here on earth.- REVELATION 2:26, 27; 17:14; ROMANS 16:20.
