* When the lamb opened the seventh seal , there was silence in heaven for about half an hour . * Then I saw the seven angels who stand in God 's presence , and seven trumpets were given to them . * Another angel came with a gold censer and stood at the altar . He was given a large quantity of incense to offer on the gold altar before the throne , along with the prayers of all the saints . * The smoke from the incense and the prayers of the saints went up from the angel 's hand to God . * The angel took the censer , filled it with fire from the altar , and threw it on the earth . Then there were peals of thunder , noises , flashes of lightning , and an earthquake . * The seven angels who had the seven trumpets got ready to blow them . * When the first angel blew his trumpet , hail and fire were mixed with blood and thrown on the earth . One-third of the earth was burned up , one-third of the trees was burned up , and all the green grass was burned up . * When the second angel blew his trumpet , something like a huge mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea . One-third of the sea turned into blood , * one-third of the creatures that were living in the sea died , and one-third of the ships was destroyed . * When the third angel blew his trumpet , a huge star blazing like a torch fell from heaven . It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs of water . * The name of the star is Wormwood . One-third of the water turned into wormwood , and many people died from the water because it had turned bitter . * When the fourth angel blew his trumpet , one-third of the sun , one-third of the moon , and one-third of the stars were struck so that one-third of them turned dark . One-third of the day was kept from shining , and also the night . * Then I looked , and I heard an eagle flying overhead say in a loud voice , “How terrible , how terrible , how terrible for those living on the earth , because of the blasts of the remaining trumpets that the three angels are about to blow !”
