16. After the sealing work brought to view in Revelation 7, which takes place under the sixth seal,
how is the seventh seal introduced?

necessarily, therefore, reign in heaven during their absence. A half hour of prophetic time would be about
seven (lays. The seven seals, therefore, bring us down to the second coming of Christ.
