AI-assisted, sourcedRevelation 8:7-13The first four trumpets
About Revelation 8When the seventh seal is opened "there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour," and seven angels are given seven trumpets. An angel offers incense "with the prayers of all saints" at the golden altar, then fills the censer with fire and casts it to the earth. The first four trumpets bring hail and fire, a burning mountain into the sea, a star "called Wormwood," and darkness, each striking "the third part," and an angel cries, "Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth."
