1
When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence throughout heaven for about half an hour.
2
And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets.
3
Then another angel with a gold incense burner came and stood at the altar. And a great quantity of incense was given to him to mix with the prayers of God's people, to be offered on the gold altar before the throne.
4
The smoke of the incense, mixed with the prayers of the saints, ascended up to God from the altar where the angel had poured them out.
5
Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar and threw it down upon the earth; and thunder crashed, lightning flashed, and there was a terrible earthquake.
6
Then the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow their mighty blasts.
