RBT Translation:
The Silent Half Interval
And when he opened the Seventh Signet-Seal, she became a silent one within the Heavenly one, just as a half time interval.The Mega Trumpet
and the half interval of herself...
The term ἡμιόριον (hēmiorion), derived from ἡμι- ("half") and ὥρα/ὄριον ("time period" or "boundary/interval"), refers to "half a unit of time" or "a partial interval." In the prophetic and eschatological contexts, it symbolizes a shorter duration within a larger temporal framework, such as the "time, times, and half a time" found in the apocalyptic literature (e.g., Daniel 7:25; Revelation 12:14).
Her Song.
vs. the "whole note":
