Revelation 14:12
Here is the patience of the saints
The patience of the saints is found in their acceptance of God’s sovereign control over their lives (Rev. Rev. 13:10+) and in the knowledge that God will avenge their blood at the hands of those who rejected Him (as here). As terrible as it might be, the awful experience of the saints at the hands of the Beast (see #20 - Saints) cannot compare with the doom which meets the Beast worshipers. See commentary on Revelation 13:10. who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus
Their faith is evident by their works—keeping God’s commandments (Luke Luke 6:46; Jas. Jas. 2:18). During this time, the woman who flees to the wilderness has offspring which “keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Rev. Rev. 12:17+). Here, the phrase denotes those who are not just of Israel (her offspring), but also Gentile believers: all the saints of the end.
