After The Seventh Seal was broken, Rev 8: 1 tells us: “and there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour.” Was that “silence” The Council of Nicea in 325 AD? That is when Formalized Teachings of The Catholic Church were provided to The World.
All Catholic Teaching from The Council of Nicea was built upon This Word of Jesus Christ: “And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
After the “silence” we do know:
The Seven Trumpets of Revelation 8-10 began to be blown.
~Were these “The Seven Trumpets”?~
The First Trumpet? Donatists, Arians, and early Protestants began to confuse Catholic Teaching. Arian Protestants destroyed much of The Catholic Church in France, Spain and North Africa’s wealthy Roman Provinces beginning in 429, close to “a third of the world”.
The Second Trumpet? Attila the Hun: 406-453 AD. Another “third of the world”.
The Third Trumpet? Mohammed unleashed extreme Protestants from Iran to Spain. 571-632 AD. Another “third of the world”.
The 4th Trumpet? Genghis Khan: 1155-1227 AD. His forces swept across the Northern Catholic lands of Russia, Ukraine, and Poland. “a third of the world.”
The 5th Trumpet? Martin Luther: 1483-1546 AD. The Catholic Church was nearly exterminated in England and Scotland. Central Europe and North America were seized or divided by Protestant looters.
The 6th Trumpet? In the 1700s, human-centered teachings began to ravage Europe. Revolution and World Wars were the result.
The 7th Trumpet? Anti-Catholic tyrannies enslaved Russia, China. and many nations. As a result, “The nations were seething with rage.”

We do not know know if those were “The Seven Trumpets”
We do know that not one Trumpet Blast was able to erase This Word of Jesus Christ from the world!
“And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
