Revelation 8:1-5 - The Opening Of The Seventh Seal
1 As soon as the Lamb had broken the seventh seal, there was silence in Heaven for, it might be, half-an-hour. 2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 Next, another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer in his hand; and a great quantity of incense was given to him, to mingle with the prayers of all Christ's People upon the golden altar before the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense ascended, with the prayers of Christ's People, from the hand of the angel before God. 5 Then the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it down upon the earth; and there followed 'peals of thunder, cries, flashes of lightning,' and an earthquake.
