Revelation Chapter 8 KJV
King James Version, Holy Bible
1 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.
Revelation Chapter 8 (New Testament)
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.
Revelation Chapter 8 (New Testament)
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 Chapter 8
Verse: "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." (Revelation 8:3)
Lesson: The chapter describes the opening of the seventh seal, which brings silence in heaven for about half an hour, followed by the sounding of the seven trumpets. The prayers of the saints are offered up to God with much incense by an angel standing at the altar before the throne. This teaches us the importance of prayer and the power that it holds in the spiritual realm.
Conclusion: As believers, we are called to be people of prayer, continually seeking God's face and interceding for others. Our prayers are powerful and effective, and they can bring about great change in the world around us. We must also be alert and vigilant, knowing that the end times are near and that we must be prepared for the return of Christ.
Prayer points: Let us pray for a greater desire to seek God's face and spend time in prayer. Let us also pray for the salvation of the lost and for the spiritual awakening of our communities. Finally, let us pray for the return of Christ and for the establishment of His kingdom on earth.
