Ḥazon (Revelation) 8

1And when He opened the seventh seal, there came to be silence in the heaven for about half an hour.
2And I saw the seven messengers who stand before Elohim, and to them were given seven trumpets.
3And another messenger came and stood at the slaughter-place, holding a golden censer, and much incense was given to him, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the set-apart ones upon the golden slaughter-place which was before the throne.
4And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the set-apart ones, went up before Elohim from the hand of the messenger.
5And the messenger took the censer, and filled it with fire from the slaughter-place, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6And the seven messengers who held the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7And the first messenger sounded, and there came to be hail and fire mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
8And the second messenger sounded, and what looked like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood,
9and a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10And the third messenger sounded, and a great star fell from the heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the fountains of water,
11and the name of the star is called Wormwood. And a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
12And the fourth messenger sounded, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. And a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.#Compare with Exo. 10:21; Isa. 50:3; Jer. 4:23-29; Zech. 13:8; Joel 2:10; Joel 2:31; Joel 3:15
13And I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven, crying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to those dwelling upon the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound!”

Revelation 8
8
The Lamb Opens the Seventh Seal
1When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
Seven Angels with Seven Trumpets
2Then I saw the seven angels who stand in God’s presence, and they were given seven trumpets. 3Another angel came with a gold incense burner and stood at the altar. He was given a lot of incense to offer on the gold altar in front of the throne. He offered it with the prayers of all of God’s people. 4The smoke from the incense went up from the angel’s hand to God along with the prayers of God’s people. 5The angel took the incense burner, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it on the earth. Then there was thunder, noise, lightning, and an earthquake.
6The seven angels who had the seven trumpets got ready to blow them.
The First Four Angels Blow Their Trumpets
7When the first angel blew his trumpet, hail and fire were mixed with blood, and were thrown on the earth. One-third of the earth was burned up, one-third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
8When the second angel blew his trumpet, something like a huge mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the sea turned into blood, 9one-third of the creatures that were living in the sea died, and one-third of the ships were destroyed.
10When the third angel blew his trumpet, a huge star flaming like a torch fell from the sky. It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs. 11That star was named Wormwood. One-third of the water turned into wormwood, and many people died from this water because it had turned bitter.
12When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, one-third of the sun, one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars were struck so that one-third of them turned dark. There was no light for one-third of the day and one-third of the night.
13I saw an eagle flying overhead, and I heard it say in a loud voice, “Catastrophe, catastrophe, catastrophe for those living on earth, because of the remaining trumpet blasts which the three angels are about to blow.”
