14:13 Why will those who die from that time be blessed?
Because they will be martyred for their witness to Christ and their refusal to worship Antichrist and his image, or take his mark.
The dead referred to here are those killed during the last three and a half years of the tribulation. They will be released from persecution, torture and suffering and taken to be with Jesus (cp Rev 7:9-14; 15:2; 20:4).
Works in Rev 14:13 (KJV), refers to the results of their labours in the Lord. None of what they have done is wasted. God blesses them for it in the end (cp 1Cor 15:58). See also comments on Rev 13:10.
