Revelation 7-8

John's first vision of Heaven was very similar to what Isaiah and Ezekiel saw in their visions. What he heard was also similar: a heavenly chorus that never ceased to praise God. It is worth considering that this chorus has proclaimed God's greatness since the creation of angels. But when John saw Jesus ipen the seventh seal of the scroll the chorus stopped. Silence. John doesn't say what happened in the 30 minute period. We don't know if all of heaven was mourning or silenced in awe by a greater display of God's judgment or power. I look forward to finding out why Heaven was silent.
It took me about 4 minutes to read this passage.
