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 altar, 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 altar 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 altar, 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.
