Chapter 8

Prayers Rise, the Trumpets Sound

The seventh seal opening to silence and the censer of incense with the prayers of the saints before the throne reveal Yeshua's high-priestly mediation of His people's worship.

  1. The Seventh Seal Opened

    The seventh seal is opened and heaven falls silent for half an hour — then seven malakim receive seven trumpets.

  2. 1When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
  3. 2I saw the seven malakim who stand before Elohim, and seven trumpets were given to them.
  4. 3Another malak came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.
  5. 4The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before Elohim out of the malak’s hand.
  6. 5The malak took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, then threw it on the earth. Thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake followed.
  7. The First Four Trumpets

    The first four trumpets sound: hail and fire, a burning mountain, a poisoned star, and a third of the sky struck dark.

  8. 6The seven malakim who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
  9. 7The first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. One third of the earth was burnt up, and one third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
  10. 8The second malak sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood,
  11. 9and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed.
  12. 10The third malak sounded, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on the springs of water.
  13. 11The name of the star is “Wormwood.” One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
  14. 12The fourth malak sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars, so that one third of them would be darkened; and the day wouldn’t shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.
  15. 13I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the other blasts of the trumpets of the three malakim, who are yet to sound!”
