Revelation 8
The seventh seal is opened, and there is silence in heaven for about half an hour. Seven angels are given seven trumpets, and another angel offers the prayers of the saints to God. The angel then casts fire from the altar down to the earth, causing thunders, voices, lightnings, and a great earthquake. The seven angels sound their trumpets, each causing destruction: the first brings hail and fire, the second turns a third of the sea to blood, the third poisons a third of the rivers and water sources, and the fourth causes a third of the sun, moon, and stars to be obscured.
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hourAnd I saw seven Angels standing in the sight of God. And seven trumpets were given to themAnd another Angel approached, and he stood before the altar, holding a golden censer. And much incense was given to him, so that he might offer upon the golden altar, which is before the throne of God, the prayers of all the saintsAnd the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended, in the presence of God, from the hand of the AngelAnd the Angel received the golden censer, and he filled it from the fire of the altar, and he cast it down upon the earth, and there were thunders and voices and lightnings and a great earthquakeAnd the seven Angels who hold the seven trumpets prepared themselves, in order to sound the trumpetAnd the first Angel sounded the trumpet. And there came hail and fire, mixed with blood; and it was cast down upon the earth. And a third part of the earth was burned, and a third part of the trees was entirely burned up, and all the green plants were burnedAnd the second Angel sounded the trumpet. And something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast down into the sea. And a third part of the sea became like bloodAnd a third part of the creatures that were living in the sea died. And a third part of the ships were destroyedAnd the third Angel sounded the trumpet. And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch. And it fell upon a third part of the rivers and upon the sources of waterAnd the name of the star is called Wormwood. And a third part of the waters were turned into wormwood. And many men died from the waters, because they were made bitterAnd the fourth Angel sounded the trumpet. And a third part of the sun, and a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars were struck, in such a way that a third part of them was obscured. And a third part of the day did not shine, and similarly the nightAnd I saw, and I heard the voice of a lone eagle flying through the midst of heaven, calling with a great voice: "Woe, Woe, Woe, to the inhabitants of the earth, from the remaining voices of the three Angels, who will soon sound the trumpet!
