When the Lamb opens the seventh and last seal on the little scroll that was the title deed to the earth (5:1), the judgments of the Day of the Lord will intensify and expand dramatically. This final seal contains within it the full sweep of the remaining divine judgments of the time of the Great Tribulation, including the trumpet and bowl judgments. The trumpet and bowl judgments do not happen simultaneously with those of the sixth seal, it seems better to understand them as telescoping out of each other sequentially. That the seventh seal contains the seven trumpet judgments seems clear, since there is no description of judgment in the seventh seal, but an anticipation of severe judgment followed immediately in the text by the seven trumpet judgments. In a similar manner, the seventh trumpet does not describe a judgment (10:7; 11:15–17), but rather contains the anticipation of heavenly rejoicing over the judgment to come, which will lead to the final destruction and establishment of the rule of the Lord Jesus Christ. As 10:7 indicates, the seventh trumpet is the "finish." Chapter 15 verse 1 makes clear that the seventh trumpet, which finishes the work of judgment, contains the final fury of God’s wrath, which the pouring out of seven plague judgments pictures: "Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels who had seven plagues, which are the last, because in them the wrath of God is finished." Chapter 16, verse 1, identifies these seven plagues as "seven bowls of the wrath of God." They are then described in detail in the remainder of chapter 16 (vv. 2–21).
The progressive judgments within the seventh seal will take place over an indefinite period of time; the effects of the fifth trumpet, for example, will last for five months (9:10). While the exact timetable for the trumpet and bowl judgments is not revealed, their escalating devastation indicates that they all occur during the last half of the Tribulation. Therefore, the seventh seal encompasses all of God’s final wrath up to the triumphant return of the Lord Jesus Christ in glory.
Four key words may be used to describe the events associated with the opening of the seventh seal: silence, sounding, supplication, and storm.

The 7th seal is the seal that Jesus put on the Book of Life of the 7th Age. The 7th Seal will be opened at the Beginning of the Season of Rest, the year is 2800 AD, many know this year as the year of the rapture. 1 trumphet will be sounded each Season, at the beginning of last Season, the Last Season of Rest, the 7 utterance will be spoken, 1 at the beginning of each Little Season.
At this time We are waiting for the 10th President of the U.S. and the 7th Pope to fall. George W. Bush is the 9th.
The 4 winds are being held by the 4 Angels, untill all God's children have been sealed in the foreheads with the Word of God, and the last person born before 1960 has died.
The 7th Age started 1960 AD and ends 2940 AD
There are 7 Seals one for each of the 7 Ages.
In the Book of Revelations our Age (the 6th) is known as the great tribulation and the Fig tree, (WI and WII) but this Season of Rest started in the year 1680 AD
Before Jesus came, no Age had been Judged, it was not untill the end of the 5th Age, the Season of Rest, did Jesus come and Judge all the spirits and is known as the tribulatio, the first resurrection. When all those who had died and were in the spirit seen the Glorified Body of Jesus ascending to heaven and heard his voice. For many are called but few are chosen.

The seven trumpets are described in Revelation 8:6-21. The seven trumpets are the “contents” of the seventh seal (Revelation 8:1-5). The first trumpet causes hail and fire that destroys much of the plant life in the world (Revelation 8:7). The second of the seven trumpets brings about what seems to be a meteor hitting the oceans and causing the death of much of the world’s sea life (Revelation 8:8-9). The third trumpet is similar to the second trumpet except it effect the world’s lakes and rivers instead of the oceans (Revelation 8:10-11).
The fourth of the seven trumpets causes the sun and moon to be darkened (Revelation 8:12). The fifth trumpet results in a plague of “demonic locusts” that attack and torture humanity (Revelation 9:1-11). The sixth trumpet releases a demonic army that kills a third of humanity (Revelation 9:12-21). The seventh trumpet calls forth the seven angels with the seven bowls of God’s wrath (Revelation 11:15-19; 15:1-8).
