Rev chs. 4-11, the story of the "little scroll/book", Rev 10:8.
The scroll/book is first seen in Dan 12:4-9, 4 & 9.
It is sealed until the time of the end v 9.
"How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?" v 6,
V 7, 3 1/2 times, until the power of the holy people is scattered 70 ad.
So from the angel in Babylon in Dan 12:7, until 70 ad was the first 3 1/2 times.
So the little scroll, was sealed until after Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 ad.
Once Jerusalem had fallen in 70 ad, and Israel was scattered, then the sealed scroll/book can be opened.
This is the scroll that Jesus opens, the one that was sealed until after the dest of Jeru in 70 ad.
--
It has 7 seals, that must be broken in order to read the scroll.
The seals are spiritual events that are shown in heaven to John in 96 ad. (John is in the spirit, through the door).
They are 7 things that must happen before the scroll can be read.
The events are showing the consequences of the rejection of the gospel kingdom by the natural branches and are leading up to the dest of Jerusalem in 70 ad, which is shown in the 6/7th seals.
The holy people must be scattered, and the 3 1/2 times must pass, Dan.12:7, then the book can be opened.
Jesus opens the book only after Jerusalem falls.
========
The 7 trumpets follow the seals and are the time of the natural branches after the fall of Jeru. in 70 ad.
The 1/2 hour of silence in heaven, is the time between the fall of Jeru and the next words from heaven, say 96 ad.
So 70 ad, until the giving of the Rev in 96 ad was the silence.
You see, the apostles had been told by Jesus that there would be a "times of the gentiles" Lk21:20-24, but nobody knew how long that would last.
They thought that the fall of Jeru., would be followed very soon by the resurrection, but it was not to be, (1900 yrs).
----
The seven trumpets tell about the withdrawing of blessings on the natural branches for rejecting the gospel kingdom.
The 7th trumpet is the rapt/resur, last trumpet, second resurrection, Jesus coming to take possession of the kingdom.
--
Then the story ends.
====================
37 ad, 1-4 Seals, The 4 spirits of the earth turn against Israel for rejecting the gospel kingdom. The gentiles enter.
5th Seal, The martyrs from the Roman beast invasion in 67 bc, until the 1st resurrection (Jesus) are shown.
6th Seal, The dest of Jeru 70 ad.
7th Seal, shows that everything has been completed, the 3 1/2 times, and the scattering has happened.
--
70 ad - 96 ad, 1/2 hour
--
96 ad 1-4 trumpets, The blessings and protections of God are withdrawn on the natural branches, where ever they are in God's creations, earth, sea, heaven, and fountains. Rev 14:7.
5th trumpet sounds, 1929, Rome, the dragon iron beast nation, comes out of the abyss, back to the living among the nations. The Vatican becomes a nation again, the Roman Empire is reborn. The natural branches are driven back to Israel to restore Jerusalem. The descriptions are the spiritual attributes of the men.
1967, Israel is restored to military control of Jerusalem and the times of the gentiles end, and the second 3 1/2 times end, when Jerusalem is restored. (This also ends the time shown by the statue in Dan 2, the toes/horns end, when Jerusalem is restored.)
6th Trumpet, 9/11/01. This causes the people of the Euphrates River region (Saddam) to lose power (Bush). The loss allows the kings of the east (Iran) to attack Jerusalem restored to Israel.
7th Trumpet, This is the rapt resur, Jesus coming to take possession of the kingdom.
After this the story of the scroll ends, because there will be no more planet except fire.
