Revelation 8:2

I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets (military trumpets).
[The trumpet used for military purposes brings to mind how God enters history with both judgment and victory. When the Israelites captured Jericho, seven priests carried seven trumpets and marched around the city seven times, see Josh. 6:1–4. The trumpet was also used to warn of impending danger. God's judgment is imminent. The goal is repentance, see Rev 9:21.
Now seven angels who stand before God are introduced. One of them may be Gabriel. When he is sent to earth to convey the message that Zechariah will become the father of John the Baptist, he says, "I am Gabriel. I stand before God," see Luke 1:19. The apocryphal books of Tobit and Enoch mention seven archangels: Uriel, Raphael, Raguel, Michael, Sarakael, Gabriel, and Remiel. Since the number seven often appears as a symbol of perfection and completeness, the seven angels may symbolize all of God's angels.]
