Exegesis
The conjunction kai {Καὶ | kaí} ties this beatitude to previous visions, with the aorist ēkousa {ἤκουσα | ḗkousa} ‘I heard’ positioning John as the recipient of a heavenly command.
In context — Revelation 14:13
And I heard a voice from heaven proclaim, “Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit , “they will rest from their labors, for their works follow them.”
