Revelation 8 · Grade 3
The Prayers of the Saints
Read the Story
When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. John saw the seven angels who stand before God. Seven trumpets were given to them.
Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him to add to the prayers of all the saints. The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God.
The angel filled the censer with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth. There followed thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake. Then the seven angels prepared themselves to sound. When the first four sounded, a third of the earth, sea, rivers, and sky was harmed. An eagle cried, Woe, woe, woe.
