Revelation 14:1-11
This is the end time when the Lamb of God (Jesus) stands on the holy mountain surrounded by the numbered redeemed. The imagery like much of Revelation is beyond anything we would use in current literature but it meant so much to those reading it or hearing it at the time. The damned will get their just deserts and the vindicated will indeed be blessed. Difficult stuff (as all of Revelation is) but it gives a clue into how the early community saw the conflict lay out and how Christ would be victorious.
