Revelation 8:2-5

2And I saw 1the seven angels who stand before God, and seven 2trumpets were given to them.

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