You said that they were also CONCERN WITH THOSE ON EARTH. HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT? THEIR QUESTION TO GOD WAS “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, UNTIL YOU JUDGE THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH and avenge our blood?” [I highlighted the above to clearly contrast the very Q CB asks]

Are you for real? You ask a question answered by verse 10 of Rev. 6, and then you cite Rev. 6:10 that answers that very question?

If those "inhabitants of the earth" were of no concern to them, why did they petition God about THEM?

And if they weren't "inhabitants of the earth" as v. 10 says they were, where were they from? Kolob? Mars? Distant-galaxy space creatures?

Dear Colofornian, their concern was only in avenging their own deaths. Of course they realized how they had died. My point was that they indicated no knowledge of what was going on at that present time or any concern for anyone other than vengeance for their own deaths. The original context was praying for help from those who have passed from this life. You cited the passage in Revelation in an attempt to convince me that those humans who had left this earth could hear prayers and affect anything on earth. The passage does not show they can. Your going down a rabbit hole trying not to be wrong in using that passage to answer my initial question. It’s not working. And getting snarky in your last two posts to me especially isn’t showing me how to I should have “more humility”.
