Revelation 8:1-5

1When the Lamb broke the 1seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2And I saw 2the seven angels who stand before God, and seven 3trumpets were given to them.

3 4Another angel came and stood at the 5altar, holding a 6golden censer; and much 7incense was given to him, so that he might 8add it to the 9prayers of all the 10saints on the 11golden altar which was before the throne. 4And 12the smoke of the incense, 13with the prayers of the 14saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand. 5Then the angel 15took the censer and 16filled it with the fire of the altar, and 17threw it to the earth; and there followed 18peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an 19earthquake.
