8:1  When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
8:2  I noticed that the seven angels who stood before God were each given a trumpet.
8:3  Another angel, who had a gold container for incense, came and stood at the altar. This one was given a lot of incense to offer with the prayers of God's people on the gold altar in front of the throne.
8:4  Then the smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God's people, went up to God from the hand of the angel.
8:5  After this, the angel filled the incense container with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth. Thunder roared, lightning flashed, and the earth shook.
8:6  The seven angels now got ready to blow their trumpets.
8:7  When the first angel blew his trumpet, hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth. A third of the earth, a third of the trees, and a third of all green plants were burned.
8:8  When the second angel blew his trumpet, something like a great fiery mountain was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood,
8:9  a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
8:10  When the third angel blew his trumpet, a great star fell from heaven. It was burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on a third of the springs of water.
8:11  The name of the star was Bitter, and a third of the water turned bitter. Many people died because the water was so bitter.
8:12  When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, a third of the sun, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars were struck. They each lost a third of their light. So during a third of the day there was no light, and a third of the night was also without light.
8:13  Then I looked and saw a lone eagle flying across the sky. It was shouting, “Trouble, trouble, trouble to everyone who lives on earth! The other three angels are now going to blow their trumpets.”
