Seventh Seal: Prelude to the Seven Trumpets
1 Whena He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 aAnd I saw the seven angels who stand before God, band to them were given seven trumpets.
3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with athe prayers of all the saints upon bthe golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And athe smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.
5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And athere were noises, thunderings, blightnings, cand an earthquake.
6 So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
First Trumpet: Vegetation Struck
7 The first angel sounded: aAnd hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown bto the earth. And a third cof the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
