Revelation 8 calls us to pause in silence with all those gathered in heaven as we wait to see what is inside the scroll. This silence is contrasted with the loud trumpets that remind us of God's judgement in the past of Egypt and Babylon.

Daniel 11 is a long chapter full of history and prophecy. Daniel learns about the future fate of his people and the lands they live in.
