Revelation 8
|
|
| 8:1
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about
the space of half an hour. |
 (8:5)
"And there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
The angel threw the censer down to earth, causing thunder, lightning, and earthquakes.
|
| 8:2
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given
seven trumpets.
|
| 8:3
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and
there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the
prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
|
| 8:4
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints,
ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
|
| 8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and
cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and
lightnings, and an earthquake. |
|
| 8:6
And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to
sound. |
|
| 8:7
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. |
 (8:7-13)
"Hail and fire mingled with blood"
God sends his angels to destroy a third part
of all the trees, grass, sea creatures, mountains, sun, moon, starts, and water.
|
| 8:8
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;
|
| 8:9
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. |
|
| 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; |
(8:10)
"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."
In the bible, stars are just little lights that can fall to the ground from the
sky.
|
| 8:11
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. |
(8:10-11)
"Many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."
 (8:10-11) "And the name of the star is called Wormwood."
Some believers say that the 1986 nuclear disaster at Chernobyl was the fulfillment of the
third trumpet in 8:10-11.
|
| 8:12
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 as the third part of them was
darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night
likewise.
|
| 8:13
And 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! |
"Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth"
An angel flies through heaven screaming, "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabiters of the earth."
