It is tied to the very nature of God, they are asking not IF but simply HOW LONG
God’s patience with wicked will end
A little (Gk.= 
micros)
 while, not a LONG while—Col. 1:24; Luke 18:6-7—speedily=as shortly (1:1)
The time is coming soon and vengeance will come. You have gone out overcoming, met
martyrdom, scarcity, God’s four judgments against evil, you have asked, here is God’s answer
 
 
Chapter Six: The First Six Seals
The Sixth Seal—Great Day of His Wrath
12  I looked when He opened 
the sixth seal
, and
behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun
became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon
became like blood.
  13  And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a
fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a
mighty wind.
  14  Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is
rolled up, and every mountain and island was
moved out of its place.
  15  And the kings of the earth, the great men, the
rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every
slave and every free man, hid themselves in the
caves and in the rocks of the mountains,
  16  and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on
us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on
the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
  17  For the great day of His wrath has come, and
who is able to stand?"
 
Earthquake, sun darkened, moon like blood,
stars fell to earth, sky opened as scroll
Every mountain & island moved out of place
Seven groups hide from the wrath of One on
the throne and the Lamb
The day of His wrath has come
,
the little time has passed and He is answering
prayers of souls under the altar
 
The vital question—Who will be
able to stand?
