8Revelation

1 Now when the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for what seemed half an hour. The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer Re.8.1-5
2 Then I looked, and the seven angels that stand in the presence of God were given seven trumpets.

 
3 Then another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and he was given a great quantity of incense to offer with the prayers of all God's people upon the golden altar in front of the throne.  
4 And from the angel's hand the smoke of the incense went up before God with the prayers of his people.  
5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it from the altar fire, and threw it down upon the earth; and there were peals of thunder, lightning, and an earthquake.

 
6 THEN THE SEVEN ANGELS that held the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.
The Trumpets Re.8.6-9.21
7 The first blew his trumpet; and there came hail and fire mingled with blood, and this was hurled upon the earth. A third of the earth was burnt, a third of the trees were burnt, all the green grass was burnt.
 
8 The second angel blew his trumpet; and what looked like a great blazing mountain was hurled into the sea.  
9 A third of the sea was turned to blood, a third of the living creatures in it died, and a third of the ships on it foundered.
 
10 The third angel blew his trumpet; and a great star shot from the sky, flaming like a torch; and it fell on a third of the rivers and springs.  
11 The name of the star was Wormwood; and a third of the water turned to wormwood, and men in great numbers died of the water because it had been poisoned.
 
12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet; and a third part of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that the third part went dark and a third of the light of the day failed, and of the night.
 
13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle calling with a loud cry as it flew in mid-heaven: 'Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth when the trumpets sound which the three last angels must now blow!'
