Apoc. Cap. 8. 1. And when he had opened the seventh Seal, there was silence in heaven about half an hour.
Apoc. Cap. 8. 1. And when he had opened the seauenth Seale, there was silence in heauen about halfe an houre.
The Apostle S. John doth recontinue his purpose begun in the fifth Chapter, being omitted in the sixth and seventh Chapters; for these two Chapters were put in for the comfort of Gods children, and to preserve them against the troubles afterwards to befall. Now he cometh to the opening of the seventh Seal, whereat there was silence in heaven for the space of half an hour: signifying, that all the Saints and Angels were amazed at the opening of it, marvelling at the Judgements which followed it, more then at the other wonders which before were received, albeit they also were very marvellous. The like speech is used in Job, for when his friends coming to visit him, saw what a miserable case he was in, they were so appalled thereat, that they could not speak to him for three days. This is to set forth unto us the wonderfulness of the judgements contained in the opening of the seventh Seal.
