1 W hen the Lamb broke the seventh lock, there was not a sound in heaven for about one-half hour.

When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

2 T hen I saw the seven angels standing before God. They were given seven horns.

I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

3 A nother angel came and stood at the altar. He held a cup made of gold full of special perfume. He was given much perfume so he could mix it in with the prayers of those who belonged to God. Their prayers were put on the altar made of gold before the throne.

Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.

4 S moke from burning the special perfume and the prayers of those who belong to God went up before God out of the angel’s hand.

The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand.

5 T hen the angel took the cup of gold. He filled it with fire from the altar and threw it down on the earth. There was thunder and noise and lightning and the earth shook.

The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it on the earth. There followed thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake.

6 T he seven angels that had the seven horns got ready to blow them. The First Horn—Hail and Fire

The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

7 S o the first angel blew his horn. Hail and fire mixed with blood came down on the earth. One-third part of the earth was burned up. One-third part of the trees were burned up. All the green grass was burned up. The Second Horn—the Burning Mountain

The first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. One third of the earth was burnt up, and one third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

8 T he second angel blew his horn. Something like a large mountain was burning with fire. It was thrown into the sea. One-third part of the sea turned into blood.

The second angel sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood,

9 O ne-third part of all sea life died. One-third part of all the ships were destroyed. The Third Horn—the Star of Poison

and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed.

10 T he third angel blew his horn. A large star fell from heaven. It was burning with a fire that kept burning like a bright light. It fell on one-third part of the rivers and on the places where water comes out of the earth.

The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch, and it fell on one third of the rivers, and on the springs of the waters.

11 T he name of the star is Wormwood. One-third part of the water became poison. Many men died from drinking the water because it had become poison. The Fourth Horn—Not As Much Light

The name of the star is called “Wormwood.” One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

12 T he fourth angel blew his horn. One-third part of the sun and one-third part of the moon and one-third part of the stars were hurt. One-third part of them was made dark so that one-third part of the day and night had no light.

The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars; so that one third of them would be darkened, and the day wouldn’t shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.

13 T hen I looked and saw a very large bird flying in the sky. It said with a loud voice, “It is bad! It is bad! It is bad for those who live on the earth when the sound comes from the horns that the other three angels will blow!”

I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe for those who dwell on the earth, because of the other voices of the trumpets of the three angels, who are yet to sound!”
