8When the Lamb broke open the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.G2532G3753G455G1442G4973G1096G4602G1722G3772G5613G22562Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets.G2532G1492G2033G32G3739G2476G1799G2316G2532G846G1325G2033G45363Another angel, who had a gold incense container, came and stood at the altar. He was given a lot of incense to add to the prayers of all God's people and to offer it on the gold altar that stands before the throne.G2532G243G32G2064G2532G2476G1909G2379G2192G5552G3031G2532G1325G846G4183G2368G2443G1325G4335G3956G40G1909G5552G2379G3588G1799G23624The smoke of the burning incense went up with the prayers of God's people from the hands of the angel standing before God.G2532G2586G2368G4335G40G305G1799G2316G1537G32G54955Then the angel took the incense container, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it on the earth. There were rumblings and peals of thunder, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.G2532G32G2983G3031G2532G1072G846G1537G4442G2379G2532G906G1519G1093G2532G1096G5456G2532G1027G2532G796G2532G4578
The Trumpets
6Then the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.G2532G2033G32G3588G2192G2033G4536G2090G1438G2443G45377The first angel blew his trumpet. Hail and fire, mixed with blood, came pouring down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees, and every blade of green grass.G2532G4413G32G4537G2532G1096G5464G2532G4442G3396G129G2532G906G1519G1093G2532G5154G1186G2618G2532G3956G5515G5528G26188Then the second angel blew his trumpet. Something that looked like a huge mountain on fire was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea was turned into blood,G2532G1208G32G4537G2532G5613G3173G3735G2545G4442G906G1519G2281G2532G5154G2281G1096G1299a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.G2532G5154G2938G3588G1722G2281G2192G5590G599G2532G5154G4143G131110Then the third angel blew his trumpet. A large star, burning like a torch, dropped from the sky and fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.G2532G5154G32G4537G2532G4098G3173G792G1537G3772G2545G5613G2985G2532G4098G1909G5154G4215G2532G1909G4077G520411(The name of the star is "Bitterness.") A third of the water turned bitter, and many people died from drinking the water, because it had turned bitter.G2532G3686G792G3004G894G2532G5154G5204G1096G1519G894G2532G4183G444G599G1537G5204G3754G408712Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet. A third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that their light lost a third of its brightness; there was no light during a third of the day and a third of the night also.G2532G5067G32G4537G2532G5154G2246G4141G2532G5154G4582G2532G5154G792G2443G5154G846G4654G2532G2250G5316G3361G5154G846G2532G3571G366813Then I looked, and I heard an eagle that was flying high in the air say in a loud voice, "O horror! horror! How horrible it will be for all who live on earth when the sound comes from the trumpets that the other three angels must blow!"G2532G1492G2532G191G1520G32G4072G1722G3321G3004G3173G5456G3759G3759G3759G2730G1909G1093G1537G3062G5456G4536G5140G32G3588G3195G4537
