Montgomery - Revelation of John - 8

8:1  And when he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven, about the space of half an hour.

8:2  And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given them.

8:3  And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and a great quantity of incense was given him to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar, which was before the throne.

8:4  And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose up from the hand of the angel into the presence of God.

8:5  Then the angel took the censer, and he filled it with fire from the altar, and poured it upon the earth; and there followed thunders and voices and lightnings and an earthquake.

8:6  And the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow their trumpets.

8:7  And the first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and it fell upon the earth; and the third part of the earth was burned up, and the third part of the trees, and all the green grass.

8:8  And the second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea; and a third part of the sea became blood;

8:9  and a third part of the living creatures in the sea died, and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

8:10  And the third angel blew his trumpet, and there fell from heaven a great star, blazing like a torch. It fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the springs. (The name of the star is called Wormwood.)

8:11  A third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

8:12  And the fourth angel blew his trumpet, and the third part of the sun was blasted, and a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars; so that the third part of them should be darkened, and for a third part of the day there was no light, and at night it was the same.

8:13  And I looked and I heard a solitary eagle flying in mid-heaven, and crying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe for all who live on the earth, Because of the rest of the trumpet-blasts That the three angels are about to blow!"
