The passages describing the scene are often used as arguments to confirm the existence of a conscious state after death. This article criticises this dualistic interpretation and argues that Dan 12:2, 13 are verses of high importance for the correct interpretation of Rev 6:9–11 and 20:4–6, 13. The article discusses the six parallels between these texts and, based on the Old Testament background, shows that the word ψυχή in Rev 6:9–11 means “blood,” which represents the slain martyrs. The article argues that the teaching on the state of the dead in the Books of Daniel and Revelation is based on a holistic anthropological concept.enCC-BY - Uznanie autorstwaRev 6:9-11Dan 12:2.13intermediate stateresurrectionsouls under altarBook of DanielBook of RevelationRevelation of JohnApocalypse of JohnBibleOld TestamentNew Testamentbiblical studiesexegesisbiblical exegesistheologybiblical theologyexegetical analysisRev 6Dan 12Dan 12:213stan pośrednistan przejściowyzmartwychwstaniedusze pod ołtarzemApokalipsa św.
