Who are the overcomers standing on the sea of glass in Revelation 15:2?

The overcomers standing on the sea of glass are the martyred tribulation saints already in the Lord's presence in glory. They gained victory over the beast, the Antichrist indwelt by Satan, and over his image, his mark, and the number of his name.

Les explains that Revelation 15:2 gives a heavenly vision of a sea of glass mingled with fire. Those standing there are the martyred tribulation saints, already in the presence of the Lord in glory. They had gotten the victory over the beast, or the Antichrist and Satan who is now indwelling him, and over his image, his mark, and the number of his name. They are standing on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. Les notes that this verse may give people the idea that all we will do in heaven is strum a harp; that will certainly be part of it, but it will be more than just strumming harps.
