1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand in God’s presence, and they were given seven trumpets.
3 Another angel came with a gold incense burner and stood at the altar. He was given a lot of incense to offer on the gold altar in front of the throne. He offered it with the prayers of all of God’s people.
4 The smoke from the incense went up from the angel’s hand to God along with the prayers of God’s people.
