Revelation 8

New Living Translation (
NLT)

Revelation Chapter 8
The Lamb Breaks the Seventh Seal
1 When the Lamb broke the seventh seal on the scroll,
There was silence throughout heaven for about half an hour.
2 I saw the seven angels who stand
Before God, and they were given seven trumpets.
3 Then another angel with a gold
Incense burner came and stood at the altar.
And a great amount of incense was given to him to mix with the
Prayers of God's people as an
Offering on the gold altar before the throne.
4 The smoke of the incense,
Mixed with the prayers of God's holy people,
Ascended up to God from the altar
Where the angel had poured them out.
5 Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar
And threw it down upon the earth; and thunder crashed,
Lightning flashed, and there was a terrible earthquake.
The First Four Trumpets
6 Then the seven angels with the seven
Trumpets prepared to blow their mighty blasts.
7 The first angel blew his trumpet,
And hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth.
One-third of the earth was set on fire,
One-third of the trees were burned,
And all the green grass was burned.
8 Then the second angel blew his trumpet,
And a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea.
One-third of the water in the sea became blood,
9 one-third of all things living in the sea died,
And one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed.
10 Then the third angel blew his trumpet,
And a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch.
It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
11 The name of the star was Bitterness.
It made one-third of the water bitter,
And many people died from drinking the bitter water.
12 Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet,
And one-third of the sun was struck,
And one-third of the moon,
And one-third of the stars, and they became dark.
And one-third of the day was dark, and also one-third of the night.

13 Then I looked,
And I heard a single eagle crying
Loudly as it flew through the air, "
"Terror, terror, terror to all who belong to this world because
of what will happen when the last three angels blow their trumpets."
