Silence in Heaven

I believe that heaven’s half an hour of silence (Re.8:1 below) is attributed to the solemnity of witnessing the prior day’s Sixth Seal event and heaven’s knowledge that they will be witnessing the giving of the Seven Trumpets, which will bring on prophetic Trumpet events.

At the Seventh SEAL (Re.8:1 below), heaven and earth have witnessed the Sixth SEAL appearance of the Lord with power and majesty (Re.6:12-17).

At the Seventh, and final, SEAL, saints REMAIN upon the earth their prayers ascending up before God (Re.8:3-4 below).

Saints who come to the 1335 days (Dan.12:12 below) prior to the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16) ascension will be those who will face the “tribulation” under the beasts of Revelation 13.


Re.8:1 And when he had opened the Seventh SEAL, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

Re.8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them WERE GIVEN seven TRUMPETS (Re.8:6 below).

Re.8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar (Re.6:9), having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

Re.8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints (Re.8:3 above), ASCENDED UP before God out of the angel’s hand.

Re.8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Re.8:6 And the seven angles which HAD the seven trumpets PREPARED themselves to sound (Re.8:2 above).

Dan.12:12 BLESSED (Re.14:12-13 below) is he that waiteth, and cometh to the THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FIVE AND THIRTY DAYS (1335 days).

Re.14:12 Here is the patience of the SAINTS (Re.8:3-4 above): here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus (Re.12:17 above).

Re.14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write BLESSED (Dan.12:12) ARE THE DEAD WHICH DIE IN THE LORD FROM HENCEFORTH (Re.16:6): Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
