"And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth,"
'After these things' refer to the judgment of God on man who refused to believe in his Son. Blessings were freely extended to man,"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love,"and those who neglected shall face the day of his wrath. The covenant set forth in first book of the Bible is basis on which blessedness of man sets heaven, the earth and under the earth on a single yardstick of Jesus Christ "all things were created by him, and for him:/And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." (Col.1:16-17)
The question, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?" is asked in heaven.(5:2) Each seal and loosing the seal thereof corresponds with the day consecutively recorded in the covenant. Opening the sixth seal records this event. "And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together;"(6:14).
Day of the Lord, or of the Lamb are part of the 'now' in the day of Salvation. The saints redeemed from the earth are saved and are set in heavenly places upon him these events do not apply. Before we go further we are looking the time lapse in terms of hour. The space of half an hour is distinct from the day of salvation. We are looking at the space between opening of the sixth and the seventh seal before the great tribulation that must occur. "And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour."
The number Four and 12 are set by the Holy Spirit to indicate nations or cardinal directions but the eternal word of God and the gospel respectively.
