Book of Revelation 8
The *Lamb opens the last *lock
1 Then the *Lamb opened the last (seventh) *lock. And it was completely quiet in *heaven for about half an hour.
2 Then I saw the 7 *angels who stand in front of God. Someone gave them 7 *trumpets.
3 Another *angel came then. He stood at the special table where people offered gifts to God. He had a gold cup to burn *incense. God gave him a lot of this *incense which makes a nice smell. He offered it to God, with the words that all God’s people prayed. He offered it all on the special gold table that was in front of the *throne.
4 The smoke from the *incense went up in front of God when the *angel offered it. It went up with what God’s people prayed.
5 Then the *angel took the cup and he filled it with fire from the special table. He threw the cup down on to the earth. Then there were loud noises and bright lights, like a very bad storm. And everything on the earth moved. note
The first 4 *trumpets
6 Then the 7 *angels who held the 7 *trumpets prepared themselves. They were going to make a sound with their *trumpets.
7 The first *angel made a sound with his *trumpet, and then hard rain like stones fell on the earth. It came down with fire and blood. It seemed that God was throwing it down. It burned a third (big part) of the earth. It burned a third of the trees, and all the green grass.
8 The second *angel made a sound with his *trumpet. Then I saw something like a very big mountain that was burning with fire. It seemed that God threw this mountain into the sea. And a third (big part) of the sea became blood.
9 A third of the animals in the sea died. It destroyed a third of the ships on the sea also.
10 The next (third) *angel made a sound with his *trumpet. And a very big star, which was burning with a bright light, fell from the sky. It fell on a third (many) of the rivers and on the places where water comes up from the ground.
11 The name of the star means ‘It tastes bad’. So a third of the waters became bad. Many people died because they drank that bad water.
12 The next (fourth) *angel made a sound with his *trumpet. Then a third (big part) of the sun, a third of the moon and a third of the stars became dark. So there was no light for a third of the day and a third of the night.
13 Then I looked, and I saw a big bird called an eagle, with strong *wings. It was flying high in the sky. I heard it say with a loud voice: ‘Great trouble, great trouble, great trouble is coming to the people who live on the earth. When the other 3 *angels make a sound with their *trumpets, then very bad things will happen!’ note
