OrthJBC - Revelation of John - 8

8:1  And when the Seh (Lamb, Yeshayah 53:7) opened the chotam hashevi'i, there was silence in Shomayim about half an hour.

8:2  And I saw the shivat hamalachim who stand before Hashem, and there were given to them shivah shofarot.

8:3  And another malach came and stood at the Mitzbe'ach (altar), having a golden makhtah (incense bowl), and there was given to him much ketoret (incense, Tehillim 141:2) to offer with the tefillos (prayers) of all the kedoshim at the golden Mitzbe'ach (altar) before the kisseh. [Shemot 30:1-6]

8:4  And the smoke of the ketoret ascended with the tefillos of the kedoshim out of the hand of the malach before Hashem. [Tehillim 141:2]

8:5  And the malach has taken the makhtah and filled it from the aish (fire) of the Mitzbe'ach (altar) and he threw it down to ha'aretz, and there were thunders and sounds and lightning and an earthquake. [Vayikra 16:12,13] THE SHOFAROT

8:6  And the shivat hamalachim having the shiva shofarot prepared themselves that they might sound the shofarot.

8:7  And HaRishon sounded his shofar; and there came barad (hail) and aish (fire) having been mingled with dahm and it was thrown to ha'aretz, and a third of ha'aretz was burnt up, and a third of the aitz was burnt up and all green grass was burnt up. [Yechezkel 38:22]

8:8  And the Malach HaSheyni sounded his shofar; and as it were a great mountain with aish (fire) burning was thrown into the yam, and a third of the yam became dahm [Yirmeyah 51:25]

8:9  And a third of the living yetzurim hayam (creatures of the sea) died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

8:10  And the Malach HaShelishi sounded his shofar; and fell out of Shomayim a kokhav gadol blazing as a torch and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the wells of mayim, [Yeshayah 14:12]

8:11  And the name of the kokhav is said to be "Wormwood," and a third of the mayim became bitter wormwood, and many of the bnei Adam died from the mayim because the mayim were made bitter. [Yirmeyah 9:15, 23:15]

8:12  And the Malach HaRevi'i sounded his shofar; and a third of the shemesh (sun) was struck and a third of the yare'ach (moon) and a third of the kokhavim, that a third of them might be darkened, and the yom could not appear, and likewise the lailah. [Shemot 10:21-23; Yechezkel 32:7]

8:13  And I saw, and I heard one nesher (eagle) flying in midair, saying with a kol gadol, "Oy, oy, oy to the ones dwelling on ha'aretz, because of the remaining blasts of the shofar of the shloshet hamalachim being about to sound.
