Revelation 8 — Context

1

When the Lamb broke 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

Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.

4

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

5

Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

6

And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.

7

The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to 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.
