You were asking ...

One thing Hagee said, I never heard before was the 30 minutes of Silence in Heaven* is the people that were raptured looking down at earth to see the Wrath of GOD come down on it... Have you heard that before?
When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
-- Revelation 8:1

And that's it... there's no more about that silence in Heaven. There are no more verses and there is no more explanation. There is nothing more.

It seems to indicate something very serious, at least it does to me, and that might related to the coming judgements, because the "timing" of this (coming right after the events in Revelation 7) indicate the mid-point of the Tribulation and that's exactly when the Antichrist stands in the holy place, declaring himself to be God.

So, this is the point at which God throws down (so to speak) every last bit of His wrath that He has "saved up" from the beginning (from the time of the Garden of Eden) through the present and to that time.

You see, God has only dispensed a small portion of His wrath, from time to time, saving the rest of His wrath up until now, the last half of the Tribulation. And it is said that after all that wrath of God is done -- that God has no more wrath left -- as all that was saved up, was dispensed during that short period of time.

NOW..., if you think about all that wrath that God has saved up from the beginning of mankind -- just about to be dispensed, at the point of that seventh seal -- then that might get a pause and silence for about 1/2 an hour in Heaven ... doncha know... :-)

BUT -- having said that, it's pure speculation (i.e., it's not in the Bible) that the people in Heaven will see what is going on. Now, they may, but then again, they may not. The Bible isn't saying...

And yes, I have heard a few others say that, but they are speculating. And it's okay to speculate, if you want to -- as long as you make it clear that you are... :-)

My speculation is that we don't have some kind of "viewer" to see directly what is going on -- down on earth, but that people in Heaven will be kept up-to-date on what is going on as it is reported in Heaven and as people there follow the activity of Heaven, and what Jesus, the Messiah of Israel is doing. Past that little bit of speculation of mine, I wouldn't want to speculate very much more on it.

Okay...Well that’s a good point....

Hagee might of just been tying to speculate as well, he did not say it was biblical now that I think of it....

However JMO..if GOD’s final wrath is that time of a half hour I think we will see Satan destroyed on earth....

Won’t that be something!
