Revelation 8
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
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. 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.
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.
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
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
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; 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.
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; 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.
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.
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!
Revelation 9
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth:
and
to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the
bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a
great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the
smoke of the pit.
3 And there came out
of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as
the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that
they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing,
neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in
their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill
them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment
was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7
And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto
battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their
faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of
women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had
breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their
wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10
And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their
tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless
pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue
hath his name Apollyon.
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four
horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 Saying to the sixth
angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in
the great river Euphrates.
15 And the
four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and
a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16
And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand
thousand: and I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses
in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire,
and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the
heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and
brimstone.
18 By these three was the
third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the
brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 19 For their power is in
their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto
serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
20
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet
repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship
devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of
wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
