When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
· Silence in heaven: when the seven angels are given trumpets, there will be silence in heaven. There will be a dreadful yet glorious silence in heaven coming from the awful anticipation of the release of God’s judgments due to seeing the seven angels. The certainty of the impending judgment causes all to be speechless. There is no adequate response for what will come.
· As silence fills heaven, so it will cover the earth as Jesus begins to release His final judgments.
Jeremiah 8:14 Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter the fortified cities, and let us be silent there. For the LORD our God has put us to silence and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
Psalm 31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence, which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
