      Then I beheld thrones and those who sat upon them, and judgment was granted to them. And I beheld the souls of all those whose heads had been hacked off with axes because of their witness to Jesus and the word of God. These souls are the ones who never worshipped the Beast or his idol, nor did they accept the puncture mark—the charagma—on their foreheads or on their hands. These souls lived and reigned with Christ for the millennium.
