Revelation 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Study Note
The vision of thrones, judgment, and the souls of martyrs reigning with Christ for a thousand years is the primary text for millennial theology in Christian history, generating premillennial, amillennial, and postmillennial interpretive traditions. The martyrs specifically described are those beheaded 'for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God' and those who refused the beast's mark — indicating that the vision offers comfort to those suffering under imperial persecution rather than a speculative timetable. Daniel 7:22 provides the OT template: 'judgment was given to the saints of the Most High,' and the thrones of Revelation 20 fulfil that eschatological transfer of authority. The passage affirms that martyrdom is not defeat but a form of royal participation in Christ's own victorious reign.
