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.
