Revelation 8
GOD’S WORD Translation
The Lamb Opens the Seventh Seal
8 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
Seven Angels with Seven Trumpets
2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand in God’s presence, and they were given seven trumpets. 3 Another angel came with a gold incense burner and stood at the altar. He was given a lot of incense to offer on the gold altar in front of the throne. He offered it with the prayers of all of God’s people. 4 The smoke from the incense went up from the angel’s hand to God along with the prayers of God’s people. 5 The angel took the incense burner, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it on the earth. Then there was thunder, noise, lightning, and an earthquake.
6 The seven angels who had the seven trumpets got ready to blow them.
The First Four Angels Blow Their Trumpets
7 When the first angel blew his trumpet, hail and fire were mixed with blood, and were thrown on the earth. One-third of the earth was burned up, one-third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
8 When the second angel blew his trumpet, something like a huge mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the sea turned into blood, 9 one-third of the creatures that were living in the sea died, and one-third of the ships were destroyed.
10 When the third angel blew his trumpet, a huge star flaming like a torch fell from the sky. It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs. 11 That star was named Wormwood. One-third of the water turned into wormwood, and many people died from this water because it had turned bitter.
12 When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, one-third of the sun, one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars were struck so that one-third of them turned dark. There was no light for one-third of the day and one-third of the night.
13 I saw an eagle flying overhead, and I heard it say in a loud voice, “Catastrophe, catastrophe, catastrophe for those living on earth, because of the remaining trumpet blasts which the three angels are about to blow.”

Dios Habla Hoy
El séptimo sello
8 Cuando el Cordero rompió el séptimo sello del rollo, hubo silencio en el cielo durante una media hora.
Visión preparatoria
2 Luego vi a los siete ángeles que estaban de pie delante de Dios, a los cuales se les dieron siete trompetas. 3 Después vino otro ángel, con un incensario de oro, y se puso de pie ante el altar; y se le dio mucho incienso, para ofrecerlo sobre el altar de oro que estaba delante del trono, junto con las oraciones del pueblo santo. 4 El humo del incienso subió de la mano del ángel a la presencia de Dios, junto con las oraciones del pueblo santo. 5 Entonces el ángel tomó el incensario, lo llenó con brasas de fuego del altar, y lo lanzó sobre la tierra; y hubo truenos, voces, relámpagos y un terremoto.
6 Los siete ángeles que tenían las siete trompetas se prepararon para tocarlas.
Las cuatro primeras trompetas
7 El primer ángel tocó su trompeta, y fueron lanzados sobre la tierra granizo y fuego mezclados con sangre. Se quemó la tercera parte de la tierra, junto con la tercera parte de los árboles y toda la hierba verde.
8 El segundo ángel tocó su trompeta, y fue lanzado al mar algo que parecía un gran monte ardiendo en llamas; y la tercera parte del mar se volvió sangre. 9 La tercera parte de todo lo que vivía en el mar, murió, y la tercera parte de los barcos fueron destruidos.
10 El tercer ángel tocó su trompeta, y una gran estrella, ardiendo como una antorcha, cayó del cielo sobre la tercera parte de los ríos y sobre los manantiales. 11 La estrella se llamaba Amargura; y la tercera parte de las aguas se volvió amarga, y a causa de aquellas aguas amargas murió mucha gente.
12 El cuarto ángel tocó su trompeta, y fue dañada la tercera parte del sol, la tercera parte de la luna y la tercera parte de las estrellas. De modo que una tercera parte de ellos quedó oscura, y no dieron su luz durante la tercera parte del día ni de la noche.
13 Luego miré, y oí un águila que volaba en medio del cielo y decía con fuerte voz: «¡Ay, ay, ay de los habitantes de la tierra, cuando suenen las trompetas que van a tocar los otros tres ángeles!»
Revelation 8
King James Version
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!
