Revelation 8:1-9 ▼

1 And when He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

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

3 And another angel having a golden censer came and stood at the altar, and much incense was given to him, that he will offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne.

4 And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the angel before God.

5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast it to the earth; and there were thunders, and voices, and flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

6 And the seven angels having the seven trumpets prepared themselves, that they might sound the trumpets.

7 And the first sounded his trumpet, and there was hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was cast upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

8 And the second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea. And a third of the sea became blood,

9 and a third of the creatures having life in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
