Revelation 8 — Context

3

And 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.

4

And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.

5

And 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.

6

And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

7

The 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.

8

And 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;

9

And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
