Revelation of John 8
The Seventh Seal: Trumpets
1 When the Lamb broke the aseventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2And I saw bthe seven angels who stand before God, and seven ctrumpets were given to them. 3 dAnother angel came and stood at the ealtar, holding a fgolden censer; and much gincense was given to him, so that he might ▼▼Lit give
add it to the iprayers of all the ▼▼Lit holy ones; i.e., God’s people
saints on the kgolden altar which was before the throne. 4And lthe smoke of the incense ascended from the angel’s hand with the prayers of the ▼▼See note 2 v 3
saints before God. 5Then the angel ▼▼Lit has taken
took the ▼▼I.e., container to burn incense
censer and pfilled it with the fire of the altar, and qhurled it to the earth; and there were rpeals of thunder and sounds, and flashes of lightning and an searthquake. 6 tAnd the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them. 7 The first sounded, and there was uhail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled to the earth; and va third of the earth was burned up, and wa third of the xtrees were burned up, and all the green ygrass was burned up. 8 The second angel sounded, and something like a great zmountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea; and aaa third of the absea became blood, 9and aca third of the creatures which were in the sea ▼▼Lit the ones having
and had life, died; and a third of the aeships were destroyed. 10 The third angel sounded, and a great star affell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a agthird of the rivers and on the ahsprings of waters. 11The star is named Wormwood; and a aithird of the waters became ajwormwood, and many people died from the waters because they were made bitter. 12 The fourth angel sounded, and a akthird of the alsun, a third of the ammoon, and a anthird of the aostars were struck, so that a apthird of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a aqthird of it, and the night in the same way. 13 Then I looked, and I heard ▼▼Lit one eagle
an eagle flying in asmidheaven, saying with a loud voice, “ atWoe, woe, woe to authose who live on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the avthree angels who are about to sound!”
