The Martyrs (Left Behind)

The Martyrs are the larger herois faction in Left Behind-books. They were Christians who died for their faith which led to them being rewarded with a crown of life. Unlike the Tribulation Force, the Martyrs have existed before the Raputure and Tribulation, and go back as far as the times of Jesus Christ, and includes several of the apostles.
During the Tribulation many members of TF, as well as independent believers, became martyrs, after being persecuted and killed by the Global Community.
All of the martyrs came back to life during the end of the Tribulation, living in the Millenial Kingdom for one thousand years, before ascending to the "new heavens and new earth".
The most notable martyrs in the book series were both Buck and Chloe Williams, Bruce Barnes, Hattie Dunham and the two witnesses.
