When Heaven Stops To Listen (The Seventh Seal) | Revelation 8:1-5 | Landmark Church | Matthew Maher

About this episode

This episode explores the significance of the silence in Heaven as described in Revelation 8 and its connection to the prayers of the saints and God's judgments.

What happens when Heaven falls silent? In Revelation 8, the Lamb opens the seventh seal, and for the first time in the book, the songs stop, the worship pauses, and Heaven grows silent. Why? What is so significant that even the hosts of Heaven stand in awe? In this message, we explore the profound silence of Revelation 8, the seven angels and seven trumpets, and the powerful connection between the prayers of the saints and the judgments of God. From the bowls of incense in Revelation 5 to the cry of the martyrs in Revelation 6, and finally to the fire cast upon the earth in Revelation 8, we discover that God never forgets the prayers of His people. Why is there silence in Heaven for thirty minutes? What do the seven trumpets represent? How are the prayers of the saints connected to God's unfolding plan? What can believers learn when God seems silent? One of the great lessons of Revelation 8 is this: Just because Heaven is silent doesn't mean Heaven is inactive. Sometimes we only see the dots. God sees the whole picture. Scripture: Revelation 8:1–5 Be sure to subscribe to the Landmark Church YouTube Channel and wherever you access podcasts to stay updated on all upcoming sermons…
