“And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.”
Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets made ready to blow them — the enumeration and preparation of the seven angels establishes solemnity and divine orchestration; the trumpets will sound in sequence, each releasing a specific judgment.
Church Fathers on Revelation 8:6
“And when He had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.” Whereby is signified the beginning of everlasting rest; but it is described as partial, because the silence being interrupted, he repeats it in order. For if the silence had continued, here would be an end of his narrative.
