Rev 7:17      Rev 8:2

Revelation 8:1

[After a parallel action in chapter 7, the story now returns to the seven seals. The seventh and last seal is now to be opened. It is only when the last seal is broken that the scroll can be opened.]
When the Lamb [the risen Jesus] broke the seventh [last] seal, there was silence [stillness, everyone trembled] in heaven for about half an hour.
[The silence indicates that something big is about to happen. It contrasts with the loud noise described in the previous chapter, see Rev 7:10–12. The whole heaven with all the angels now awaits God's judgment on sin and evil. The singing that has been going on around the throne day and night, see Rev 4:8, stops for a moment and it seems as if everyone is holding their breath in anticipation of what is to come. No specific judgment is mentioned when the seventh seal is opened; instead, the story continues with the seven trumpets at once. It is likely that the seventh seal consists of and also includes the seven trumpets.]
