Summary
In the thirty-seventh lecture, Fr. Athanasios interprets Revelation 8 and the opening of the Seventh Seal, with Revelation 9-11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, Matthew 24:31, Psalm 140:2, Tobit 12:15, Acts 10:4, and Exodus 7 and 9 in the background. The Seventh Seal concludes the first heptad of visions, covering the whole period from Christ's First to Second Coming, and introduces the heavenly silence of half an hour as Sabbatismos, the cessation of history before resurrection and the Eighth Day. The Seven Trumpets are not treated as chronologically subsequent but as supplementary visions over the same span, as are the later Bowls. The incense at the golden altar is linked to the prayers of the saints and to Christ as the atoning sacrifice, while the first trumpet's partial destruction is read as a pedagogical warning, echoing the historical plagues of Egypt.
