The saints under the altar did not ask for revenge.
The request was not for revenge but an inquiry as to the length of time before God would act.
God had promised to act long ago. There was no need to ask for God to act - judge and avenge. The only question was how long God would wait.

Dear Timothy
if you were right the saints will not have phrase their inquire like that. They will have ask when the judgement will take place. But indirectly, if you want, they asked for the avenging of their blood to take place, as I said before, because they know that this means the destruction of the great prostitute.
So they accept and look forward for this revenge, therefore they do not ask God to forgive the ones dwelling on the earth and to not to avenge their blood. This, again, is because
they know that avenging their blood means the destruction of the great prostitute, who is drunk with their blood. **Not **that she killed them, but she is indulging living a luxurious life while the saints had a life of mortification and on their fame as saints, she lives and makes money for her luxurious life stile.
In fact, they are told to wait until the massacre takes place, when there is going to be a killing of lots a lots of saintly people.
John told us in Ap 7:9 that:" After this I looked and behold, a vast multitude
which no one was able to number, from all nations and tribes and races and tongues, clothed in white robes and with palms in their hands, standing before the throne and before the Lamb" . And we are told later on, that this crowd are the ones that were massacred in the Great Tribulation. As you can see they are
innumerable, these are the ones that the saints underneath of the altar should wait for. That is why a made the point of correcting the translation of the paragraph in question on post #19, because is misleading since their is not going to be a specific number of martyrs killed.
In the love of His Revelation,
Gloria
