1 As soon as the Lamb had broken the seventh seal, there
was silence in Heaven for, it might be, half-an-hour.
III.—The Vision of the Seven Trumpet-Blasts.
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. note
4 The smoke
of the incense ascended, with the prayers of Christ's People,
from the hand of the angel before God. note
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. note
6 Then the seven angels holding the seven trumpets prepared
to blow their blasts.
7 The first blew; and there came hail and fire mixed with
blood, and it fell upon the earth. A third part of the earth
was burnt up, and a third of the trees, and every blade of
grass. note
8 Then the second angel blew; and what appeared to be a
great mountain, burning, was hurled into the sea. note A third of
the sea became blood,
9 and a third part of all created things
that are in the sea—that is, of all living things—died, and a
third of the ships was destroyed.
10 Then the third angel blew; and there fell from the heavens
a great star, burning like a torch. It fell upon a third of the
rivers and upon the springs. note
11 (The star is called ‘Wormwood.’)
A third of the water became bitter as wormwood,
and so bitter was the water that many died from drinking it.
12 Then the fourth angel blew; and a third of the sun and a
third of the moon and a third of the stars were blasted, so
that a third of them was eclipsed, and for a third part of the
day there was no light, and at night it was the same.
13 And, in my vision, I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven
and crying in a loud voice—‘Woe, woe, woe for all who live
on the earth, at the other trumpet-blasts of the three angels
who have yet to blow.’
