SUMMARY CONCLUSION
God appears to be linking fainting with the state of the church in tribulation. Time when IT falls away and becomes without the Head that is Christ. On the other hand not fainting would relate to the Elect of God being redeemed from Babylon. They do not faint because at the appearance of Christ, God brings revelation to them causing them to remain faithful.
