The Golden Censer
(Rev 8:1-6 NIV) When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. {2} And I saw
the seven angels who stand before
God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
{3} Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to
offer, with the prayers
of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. {4} The smoke of the incense, together with the
prayers of the saints, went up
before God from the angel's hand. {5} Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from
the altar, and hurled it on the
earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake. {6}
Then the seven angels who had the
seven trumpets prepared to sound them.
