The Revelation to John, Chapter 8
{8:1} When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven
for about half an hour. {8:2} I saw the seven angels who stand before
God, and seven trumpets were given to them. {8:3} Another angel came
and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was
given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints
on the golden altar which was before the throne. {8:4} The smoke of
the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of
the angel's hand. {8:5} The angel took the censer, and he filled it
with the fire of the altar, and threw it on the earth. There followed
thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake.
{8:6} The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared
themselves to sound. {8:7} The first sounded, and there followed hail
and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. [1>]One
third of the earth was burnt up,[<1] and one third of the trees were
burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
{8:8} The second angel sounded, and something like a great burning
mountain was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood,
{8:9} and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea
died. One third of the ships were destroyed.
{8:10} The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from the sky,
burning like a torch, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on
the springs of the waters. {8:11} The name of the star is called
"Wormwood." One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died
from the waters, because they were made bitter.
{8:12} The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was
struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars; so that
one third of them would be darkened, and the day wouldn't shine for
one third of it, and the night in the same way. {8:13} I saw, and I
heard an [2>]eagle,[<2] flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud
voice, "Woe! Woe! Woe for those who dwell on the earth, because of the
other voices of the trumpets of the three angels, who are yet to
sound!"
