The impact of opening the 7th Seal spreads from Chapter 8 to 20.
The purpose of the implementing the process is to rid the earth of the kingdom of the evil one (aka devil or satan) and establish the rule of God (i.e., the kingdom of Jesus Christ) here on earth.
The process only intensifies until God's wrath on the inhabitants of the earth is completed, whereupon the babylon (a biblical idiom for the kingdom of satan) is set aside so the kingdom of God (holy jerusalem) can usher in.
The process of God's judgement heaped upon the inhabitants of the earth in an increasing measure is seen in triple 7's - 7th seal coming with 7 trumpet judgments, with the 7th sounding of the 7th trumpet triggering the 7 bowl judgments.
The 777 is to undo the 666 (the work of man, i.e., idol worship).
The undoing of the 666 coincides with the devil (Satan) being removed from the theatre of man's life for good, as well as with men conclusively refusing to repent and turn to God despite them having been given the full opportunity to go otherwise.
Note on Satan's career in the process: God can handily pick up Satan and set him aside. Yet he allows Satan to become active or inactive (by way of being locked up in an abyss) only to test man's heart, that is, whether or not he loves and obeys God the Father voluntarily. (1Jo 3:8)
The trailer of the whole process is seen in the way in which the Lord God took down the Jericho wall in Joshua 6:5.
