Revelation 8:1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. This, I believe is one of those inappropriate splitting of chapters and verses in the bible. They were put there for our convenience to find what we're looking for more easily. But I believe this verse should've been in chapter 7 with the rest of the seals. But silence in heaven is a big deal, because the cherubim, seraphim, dead in christ and 24 elders are constantly praising God. But the Lamb, who is worthy to open the seals just finished his last one and imho, it's now time for some serious "getting down" where the trumpets and bowls are being set up and the angel is being sent to open the bottomless pit to release Abbadon/Appolyon, who will inhabit the antichrist after he's been murdered and resurected. Thank You Papa God that I won't be here for this one, iJna.

Wow, I don't know what all this means ...but you know it's serious when all of heaven is silent! I think here would be a good place for "...he who has ears to hear..." because God is about to do something, something big!

The seventh seal is the most mysterious of them all; it speaks of a half hour of silence in heaven. The precise timing of the 6th and 7th seals is unclear. Some suggest the cccur prior to the release of the seven trumptes; others see them overlapping the trumpets and the plauges, all culminating with the return of Christ. Though similariies exist, a clear case cannot be made one way or the other. My opinioin is that the seven seals run their course, and out of the seventh seal come the seven last trumpts. 8:2: And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and ti them were given seven trumpts".

silence can be loud.
