< Revelation 8 >

1 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
AND when he had opened the SEVENTH SEAL, silence was in heaven, as the dividing of an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets.
And I saw the seven angels who stood before Aloha, and there were given to them SEVEN TRUMPETS.
3 Then another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, along with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne.
And another angel came, and stood at the altar, and he had a censer of gold, and many perfumes were given to him, which he should give with the prayers of all saints upon the altar of gold that is before the throne;
4 And the smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, rose up before God from the hand of the angel.
and the cloud of the perfumes of the prayers of the saints ascended from the hand of the angel before Aloha.
5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it to the earth; and there were peals of thunder, and rumblings, and flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast forth upon the earth. And there were thunders, and lightnings, and voices, and movement.
6 And the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.
And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared them to sound. And the First sounded.
7 Then the first angel sounded his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, along with a third of the trees and all the green grass.
And there was hail, and fire mingled with the waters, and they were cast upon the earth; and the third of the earth burned, and the third of the trees burned, and every green herb burned.
8 Then the second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood,
And the Second angel sounded. And as a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea; and the third of the sea also became blood.
9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
And the third of all creatures which were in the sea, which had lives, died, and the third of the ships were destroyed.
10 Then the third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star burning like a torch fell from heaven and landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
And the Third angel sounded. And there fell from heaven a star burning as a lamp, and it fell upon the third of the rivers, and upon fountains of waters.
11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter like wormwood oil, and many people died from the bitter waters.
And the name of the star is called Aphsinthos; and the third of the waters became bitterness, and many men died from the waters because they were bitter.
12 Then the fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun and moon and stars were struck. A third of the stars were darkened, a third of the day was without light, and a third of the night as well.
And the Fourth angel sounded. And the third of the sun was absorbed, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, as that the third of them should be darkened; and they were darkened, and the day shone not a third of it, and the night, in like manner.
13 And as I observed, I heard an eagle flying overhead, calling in a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the remaining three angels!”
And I beheld, and heard an eagle, flying in the midst, having a tail of blood, saying with a great voice, Woe, woe, to those who dwell upon earth, from the voice of the rest of the trumpets of the three angels which are about to sound!
