Revelation Chapter 8

1And when he had opened the seventh seal, it went silent in heaven for about half an hour. 2And I saw the seven angels who were standing in God's presence, and they were given seven trumpets. 3And another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer, and he was given much incense, in order that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne, 4and the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the angel in the presence of God. 5And the angel took the censer and filled it from the fire of the altar and cast it to the earth. Then there were thunderclaps and voices and lightning flashes and an earthquake. 6And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them. 7Then the first one sounded the trumpet, and hail came, and fire mixed with blood, and it was cast to the earth, and one third of the earth was burned up, and one third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. 8Then the second angel sounded the trumpet, and a kind of large burning mountain was cast into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9And one third of the creatures which have life in the sea died, and one third of ships were wrecked. 10Then the third angel sounded the trumpet, and a great star burning like a lamp fell out of the sky, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on the sources of water. 11And the name of the star is Wormwood, and one third of the water became wormwood sap. And many men died from the water, because it had been made bitter. 12Then the fourth angel sounded the trumpet, and one third of the sun and one third of the moon and one third of the stars were struck so that one third of them should become dark, and for a third of the time the day should not have light, and likewise the night. 13And I looked and heard an eagle flying overhead, saying in a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth after the remaining soundings of the trumpet of the three angels who are going to sound the trumpet.”
