And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard a voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come and see.

And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and, behold, there was a great shaking; and the sun was black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon was as blood; And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, shaken by a great wind. And the heaven was separated as a book turned round; and every mount and isle were moved from their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great, and the rich, and the captains of thousands, and the powerful, and every servant, and every one free, hid themselves in caves and in rocks of the mountains; And they say to the mountains and rocks, Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him sitting upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath has come; and who can stand?

Revelation 8:1-13

And when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stood before God; and seven trumpets were given to them. And another angel came and was placed by the altar, having a golden censer; and many perfumes were given him, that he might give to the prayers of the holy upon the golden altar before the throne. read more.
And the smoke of the perfumes went up, with the prayers of the holy, from the angel's hand before God. And the angel took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast into the earth: and there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake. And the seven angels having the seven trumpets prepared themselves that they might sound the trumpets. And the first angel sounded the trumpet, and there were hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast into the earth: and a third of the trees were burned down, and all green grass was burned down. And the second angel sounded the trumpet, and as a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third of the sea was blood; And the third of the creatures which in the sea, died, those having souls; and the third of the ships were destroyed. And the third angel sounded the trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning as a torch, and it fell upon a third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third of the waters is into wormwood; and many of men died of the waters, for they were rendered bitter. And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet, and the third of the sun was stricken, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars; that a third of them might be darkened, and the day shone not, a third of it, and the night likewise.

And out of the smoke came forth locusts into the earth: and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. read more.
And it was said to them that they should not injure the grass of the earth, neither any green, nor any tree; except the men only which have not the seal of God upon their foreheads. And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tortured five months: and their torture as the torture of a scorpion, when he should strike a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and not find it; and shall eagerly desire to die, and death shall flee from them. And the likenesses of the locusts like horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as men's faces. And they had hair as women's hair, and their teeth were as of lions. And they had coats-of-mail, as coats-of-mail of iron; and the voice of their wings as the voice of chariots of many horses running to war. And they have tails as scorpions, and goads were in their tails: and their power to injure men five months. And they have a king over them, the angel of the abyss, the name to him in Hebrew Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon. One woe has passed; behold, there come two woes more after these. And the sixth angel sounded the trumpet, and I heard one voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Loose the four angels bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, that they might kill the third of men. And the number of troops of cavalry, two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard their number. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them sitting upon them, having fiery coats-of-mail, and of deep purple, and sulphurous: and the horses' heads as lions' heads; and out of their mouths went forth fire and smoke and sulphur. By these three were the third of men killed, from fire, and from smoke, and from brimstone, coming forth out of their mouths. For their powers are in their month, and in their tails: for their tails like serpents, having heads, and with them they injure. And the rest of men who were not killed by these blows, neither repented of the works of their hands, that they should not worship evil spirits, and images of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood: which neither can see, neither hear, neither walk: And they repented not of their slaughters, nor of their charms, nor of their fornications, nor of their thefts.

Revelation 10:1-7

And I saw another strong angel coming down from heaven, surrounded with a cloud: and a rainbow upon the head, and his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a small book opened: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and the left upon the earth, And he cried with a great voice, as a lion roars: and when he cried, the seven thunders spake their voices. read more.
