Chapter 8 (KJV) |
<< Revelation 8
>>
1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in
heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them
were given seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden
censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with
the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the
saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the
altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and
lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared
themselves to sound.
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled
with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was
burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain
burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became
blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and
had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from
heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the
rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part
of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they
were made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was
smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as
the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of
it, and the night likewise.
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of
heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth
by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet
to sound!
