3 And another Angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to Him much
incense, that He should offer [or add] it
with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was
before the throne. Note 2
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the Angel's hand. Note 3
5 And the Angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast [or sent] it into the earth: Note 4 and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake [all heaven is busy].
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound [their warnings]. Note 5
Wars and rumours of
wars Note 6
7 The first angel sounded,
and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. Note 7
8 And the second angel sounded,
and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea‚ and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. Note 8
10 And the third angel sounded,
and there fell
a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell
upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of
waters; 11 and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the
third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of
the waters, because they were made bitter. Note 9
12 And the fourth angel sounded,
and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. Note 10
13 And [then] I beheld, and heard an angel
flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice,
"Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth
by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels,
which are yet to sound! " Note 11
