And on it went. Dead silence in heaven - for about half an hour. Nothing is said.
Nothing is done.
Everything, everyone - frozen in their tracks, as it were. For 30 minutes. Silence - I don't know how it was in the days when Revelation was written. I could speculate, but that's all. I DO know that for us with the noise of radio, TV, computers, cars, trains and planes silence is a rare commodity.
