       Think of it. Never on the earth has there been such judgment and chaos from God. And never in the future, after this moment in time, will there be such colossal things to happen. That, likely, is what is causing the silence in Heaven to occur. That realization to the heavenly hosts and to the saints of God, is startling and definitely something to pause for. The Apostle John then describes to us that there are ‘the’ seven angels which stand before God and each were given their trumpets. Interestingly enough, one of these angels here may in fact be the famous one named Gabriel. We know him from the Christmas story. He told John the Baptist’s father, Zechariah, the following in Luke 1: “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God (Luke 1:10, ESV). We also saw him in the Book of Daniel. Nevertheless, then we see the angel there who offers the incense and prayers of the saints to God. Now, if we go back to Hebrews 8, we may be able to see a clue into this setting. If you go and read verses 3 through 5, you will find the writer of Hebrews is in the middle of a discussion about Jesus, the Heavenly high priest.
