Killed as They Were
In Revelation 6:11, is God asking the Elect to rest a little season (tribulation) until the Time comes to judge Babylon? Let's examine.
FELLOWSERVANTS: UNSAVED CHURCH?
Re 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants <4889> also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Mt 18:28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants <4889>, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
Mt 18:29 And his fellowservant <4889> fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Mt 18:31 So when his fellowservants <4889> saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Mt 18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant <4889>, even as I had pity on thee?
Mt 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
Mt 24:49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants <4889>, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
Mt 24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
Mt 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
KILLED AS THEY WERE: SWORD FOR SWORD?
Re 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

CALLING ON THE NAME OF THE LORD: ONE SEGMENT OR THE WHOLE BODY?

Mr 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having TWO hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

SHOULD BE FULFILLED: DEATH OF THE FELLOWSERVANTS (BABYLON) TO COME?

LITTLE SEASON: CHURCH AGE AND JUDGMENT / TRIBULATION WITH JUDGMENT TO FOLLOW?

Re 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little <3398> season <5550>.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION:
For the Elect to rest until their fellowservants be killed as they were, appears to be referring to the events that would take place at the revelation of Christ. Elect where in tribulation for a little while as the two witnesses were killed waiting for God to kill those (avenge the blood) who put them to death (Babylon).
