Our study of the seals left off with the seventh seal opening to make way for the trumpets.
Yet centuries would pass between the amazing fulfillment of the 6th seal with astounding accuracy in the 1556 Shaanxi Earthquake, until the first trumpet sounds in the 20th century. What has been happening during all this time? So much time has gone by it almost seems like the 400 years of silence between Malachi in the Old Testament and the arrival of John the Baptist in the New. There, 400 years passed, and nothing official was written down that would be included in scripture. Until, out of the blue, in the middle of the desert, John appeared, preaching, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" He was the forerunner of the Messiah, the one sent to prepare the way.
