66:008:001 And when he had opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in
heaven
about the space of half an hour.
66:008:002 And I saw the seven angels which stood
before God; and to them
were
given seven trumpets.
66:008:003 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.
66:008:004 And the smoke of the incense, which came
with the prayers of
the
saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s
hand.
66:008:005 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.
66:008:006 And the seven angels which had the seven
trumpets prepared
themselves
to sound.
66:008:007 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.
66:008:008 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;
66:008:009 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.
66:008:010 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;
66:008:011 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.
66:008:012 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.
66:008:013 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!
66:009:001 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw
a star fall from heaven
unto
the earth: and to him was given the key of the
bottomless
pit.
66:009:002 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there
arose a smoke out
of
the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun
and
the
air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
