Dear Friends:
I'm not interested in setting dates but would like to point out that the first half of the tribulation period, of 1,260 years, will be the time during which the tribulations of the first four seals will come on the earth.
The fifth seal will be a scene in heaven addessed to those who will die during total tribulation period.
The events of the sixth seal can only occur at the end of the 1,000 years and the wrath of the Lamb must be the judgment of the nations, when the sheep and goat nations will be separated, Matt. 25:32.
I believe the 'silence in heaven' of the seventh seal, Rev.8:1, will be the silence of all the heavenly host at the time of the new heaven and new earth, Rev. 21:1.
God Bless you. Charlie.

We know the Seals are the past 20 centuries because God does not leave unexplained what happens in the world from the time of Christ to His return. For example, in the Seals 1/4 of people die in wars and famines not by natural causes, but in the Great Trib 1/3 of people die (9.18) by nuclear holocaust.
Furthermore, we are told that the one who conquered in Rev. 5 goes forth conquering in the first Seal by the authority of the cross that looks like a bow and arrow that has been shot giving Satan a deadly wound. This is the power of the cross.
The Seals are very general in nature indicating they cover a vast spance of time these past 2000 years.
The 5th Seal mentions two groups: 1) those who were already martyred in previous centuries, and 2) those who will be martyred during the Tribulation. Hence those who are have been given robes are told to wait a little long for the rest of their brethren who shall be martyred during the Tribulation. So the 5th Seal is shortly before the 7 year Tribulation starts.
The event at the 6th Seal can't be in the millennium, because the millennium is all the way at the end of the book of Revelation in chapter 20 after the Seals, Trumpets and Bowls. In fact, nobody has been raptured yet by the time of the 6th Seal since it precedes the saints taken up Rev. 7.9 "before the throne" according to readiness (Matt. 24.40-42, Luke 21.36, Rev. 3.10). Then follows the the first four Trumpets of the Tribulation in Rev. 8 which are the first half of the Tribulation in which the earth is hurt and the Vatican is nuked. The 3 woes are the 2nd half starting at Rev. 9.1. The sheep and goat nations are separated when Jesus returns on the 1260th day of the Great Tribulation on Aug. 7, 2022 Tisha B'Av. He judges the nations for 30 days from the 1260th to the 1290th.
The New Heaven and New Earth is Rev. 21 after the 1000 years in Rev. 20. Silence indicates impending doom. It's like how you would feel if something horrible was about to happen and you had this silent eerie feeling something bad was about to happen. The silence in Rev. 8 is because of what is about to occur in the very loud Tribulation which is the 7th Seal that is cracked open to blow the 7 Trumpets and then Armageddon in the 7th Trumpet which pours out the 7 bowls of wrath. Bowls are larger than cups and are poured silently because so much is happening so fast in those last 24 months of the 7th Trumpet (not 42). Did you figure out how I came up with 24 and not 42 for the period of the 7th Trumpet?
God has given us the date when the Tribulation is from Sept. 14, 2015 Feast of Trumpets to Aug. 7, 2022 Tisha B'Av with a 1 in 9.4 billion chance of being wrong.
