This is astonishing when you look at the rest of the book of Revelation because up until this point, it's been an extremely loud place. There's been worship. There's been thunder. There's been voices, angels crying out, creatures declaring, holy, holy, holy. There's been a lot of noise, but then there's silence. The Greek word used here for silence is. It means a hush, a sacred stillness. Heaven went still. Heaven went silent. You could hear a pin drop. Why? Because something weighty was about to happen. This is the silence of awe. Heaven stands in awe of what it knows is about to come.
