Revelation 8
1And
when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given
seven trumpets.
3And another angel came and
stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers
of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out
of the angel's hand.
5And the angel took the
censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings,
and an earthquake.
6And the seven angels which
had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7The
first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third
part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8And
the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the
sea became blood;
9And the third part of the
creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven,
burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the
waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the
moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of
it, and the night likewise.
13And I beheld,
and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth
by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
