Revelation 8:1-7
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.
34Another 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.
620And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.
7The first sounded, and there came 21hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and 22a third of the earth was burned up, and 23a third of the 24trees were burned up, and all the green 25grass was burned up.
