This is an extra-biblical term to explain several modalities with which the Holy Spirit underlines the Man component in the fellowship of God with Man. God appointed the Son a day in which all those who are called before the worlds began shall be catalogued in direct context of the Son. In receiving him in faith man is placed outside his time and place, as a testimony. Thus martyrs from Abel onwards are under his charge. They are graded with the Son in his human experience.
When Jesus heaps woes to the scribes and Pharisees he addresses them thus, "on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar (Matt.23:35-NKJV)." All martyrs from Abel to the last are part of cloud of witnesses and they serve as memorial, which is what the altar of souls in Re.4 would indicate. The Four Horsemen at the opening of the seal illustrates this. (Re.6:1-11) From under the altar of soul the cry goes up why and we have the answer, "That they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled".

God the Father has expressed His will which 'should be fulfilled" Thus the rider on the red horse sets off wars and their consequences hunger pestilence, famine are all graded quiet distinct from one another. Death on the pale horse is followed by hell. " Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth (6:8)". The crucial role is given to Jesus Christ the rider on the white horse and he is in charge.
