Revelation 8 - The Scriptures 2009

¹ And when He opened the seventh seal, there came to be silence in the heaven for about half an hour.

² And I saw the seven messengers who stand before Elohim, and to them were given seven trumpets.

³ And another messenger came and stood at the slaughter-place, holding a golden censer, and much incense was given to him, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the set-apart ones upon the golden slaughter-place which was before the throne.

⁴ And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the set-apart ones, went up before Elohim from the hand of the messenger.

⁵ And the messenger took the censer, and filled it with fire from the slaughter-place, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

⁶ And the seven messengers who held the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

⁷ And the first messenger sounded, and there came to be hail and fire mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

⁸ And the second messenger sounded, and what looked like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood,

⁹ and a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

¹⁰ And the third messenger sounded, and a great star fell from the heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the fountains of water,

¹¹ and the name of the star is called Wormwood. And a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

¹² And the fourth messenger sounded, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. And a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.

¹³ And I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven, crying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to those dwelling upon the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound!”
