1 AND when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. ^1
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. ^2
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. ^3
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. ^4
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. ^5
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. ^6
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. ^7
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; ^8
> In vv8-9 where the third part of the sea became blood and the third part of the ships were destroyed, the believers have been cast out. They are the 2 witnesses that are lying in the streets and what's left there is under the judgment of God. It is a sea of blood, it is a sea of damnation that has come upon them.

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. ^9
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; ^10
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. ^11
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. ^12
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! ^13
