Revelation 8
The Seventh Seal
8When He opened the aseventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2Then I saw athe seven angels who stand before God, and seven btrumpets were given to them.
3aAnd another angel came and stood at the baltar, having a cgolden censer; and much dincense was given to him, so that he might 1add it to the eprayers of all the saints on the fgolden altar which was before the throne. 4And athe smoke of the incense went up 1with the prayers of the saints, out of the angel’s hand, before God. 5Then the angel 1took the censer and afilled it with the fire of the altar, and bthrew it to the earth; and there followed cpeals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an dearthquake.
The Seven Trumpets
6aAnd the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.
7And the first sounded, and there came ahail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and ba third of the earth was burned up, and ca third of the dtrees were burned up, and all the green egrass was burned up.
8And the second angel sounded, and something like a great amountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and ba third of the csea became blood, 9and aa third of the creatures which were in the sea—those which had life—died; and a third of the bships were destroyed.
10And the third angel sounded, and a great star afell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a bthird of the rivers and on the csprings of waters. 11And the name of the star is called Wormwood; and a athird of the waters became bwormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
