Revelation 8 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

The Seventh Seal

Rev 8:1

When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

Rev 8:2Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
Rev 8:3

And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might [fn]add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.

Rev 8:4And the smoke of the incense went up [fn]with the prayers of the saints, out of the angel’s hand, before God.
Rev 8:5Then the angel [fn]took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

The Seven Trumpets

Rev 8:6

And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.

Rev 8:7

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

Rev 8:8

And the second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood,

Rev 8:9and a third of the creatures which were in the sea—those which had life—died; and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Rev 8:10

And the third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters.

Rev 8:11And 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.
Rev 8:12

And the fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way.

Rev 8:13

Then I looked, and I heard [fn]an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”
