Understanding the Times: When Heaven is Silent

Understanding the Times: When Heaven is Silent

Series: Understanding the Times In our study of the End-Times, we have seen that Heaven is a place of worship of Him who sits on the throne and the Lamb. Revelation 8 explains the events surrounding the 7th seal judgment and 7 trumpet judgements. But first, silence in heaven and the prayers of the Saints. It’s hard to imagine what will happen next? We’ll see you Sunday. Shalom! "More potent, more powerful than all the dark and mighty powers let loose in the world, more powerful than anything else, is the power of prayer set ablaze by the fire of God and cast upon the earth. Torrance."

One-Half hour of "silence", in heaven

Perhaps it's a somber silence @ what’s to come? The calm before the storm?

Heaven is a place of constant praise and worship. It’s loud. ½ hour of silence is a long time.

Remember: God's silence does not mean God's inactivity
Just as incense drifts to heaven, so do our Prayers.

“It is not said that the Angel presents these prayers, he presents the incense, and the prayers ascent with it. The ascending of the incense shows that the prayers and offering were accepted.” Clarke
The purpose of prayer, it has often been said, not to get man's will done in heaven, but to get God's will done on earth even if that involves judgment. Warren Wiersbe
1st Trumpet: reminds us of the 7th plague against Egypt. it effects the balance of nature. The food supply, pasture lands, etc.

2nd Trumpet: similar to the 1st plague I Egypt. Like a great mountain. The balance of life I the oceans

3rd Trumpet: 1/3 of the waters inland become wormwood. The word translated Wormwood gives us our English word absinthe, a popular liqueur in some countries of the world. The word means undrinkable.
Solomon warned that immorality might seem pleasant but, in the end, it produces bitterness like wormwood in proverbs 5:4

4th Trumpet: Matthew 24:29 "The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light". Temperatures will be affected, energy on earth from the sun depleted. Darkness.
These first 4 trumpets also reveal the mercy of God
