Revelation 8:3 And another angel came and stood over the altar. The scene reveals the altar of the tabernacle, "a pattern made after heavenly things" (Hebrews 9:23). This is the altar of sacrifice from which the coal was always taken to light the incense (Leviticus 16:13). This angel receives the incense, "the prayers of all saints"; these to reach the throne must be lighted from the altar of sacrifice; or by faith in the blood of the Lamb of God. This angel offers the incense upon the golden altar which was before the throne, the altar of incense.
