{Stand} (hest(886b)asin). Perfect active of hist(886d)i
(intransitive). Another "hebdomad" so frequent in the Apocalypse.
The article (the seven angels) seems to point to seven well-known
angels. In Enoch 20:7 the names of seven archangels are given
(Uriel, Raphael, Raguel, Michael, Sariel, Gabriel, Remiel) and
"angels of the Presence" is an idea like that in  Isa 63:9 . We
do not know precisely what is John's idea here. {Seven trumpets}
(hepta salpigges). We see trumpets assigned to angels in  Mt
24:31  1Th 4:16  1Co 15:52  Re 4:1,4 . See also the use of
trumpets in  Jos 6:13  Joe 2:1 . These seven trumpets are soon to
break the half hour of silence. Thus the seven trumpets grow out
of the opening of the seventh seal, however that fact is to be
interpreted.
