So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared
themselves to sound.
·
Sound is associated with the seal
judgments. The first four are released by a voice like thunder. The fifth seal describes the intercessory cry
from beneath the altar. In the sixth seal, the kings cry out. Here, the
terrifying silence of the seventh seal is in great contrast with the other six
seals.
·
We waited for the seven seals to be opened, and
saw them loosed one by one. But when the seventh seal was finally loosed, the
end did not immediately come. It set in motion seven trumpets that would sound
upon the earth. (DG)
