arch...@jab.org The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 8
{8:1} When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. {8:2} I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven [1>]shofars[<1] were given to them. {8:3} 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 holy ones on the golden altar which was before the throne. {8:4} The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the holy ones, went up before God out of the angel's hand. {8:5} 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. {8:6} The seven angels who had the seven [2>]shofars[<2] prepared themselves to sound. {8:7} The first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. [3>]One third of the earth was burnt up,[<3] and one third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. {8:8} The second angel sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood, {8:9} and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed. {8:10} 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. {8:11} 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. {8:12} 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. {8:13} I saw, and I heard an [4>]eagle,[<4] 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 [5>]shofars[<5] of the three angels, who are yet to sound!" ________________________________________________________________________ Footnotes: [1] {8:2} or, trumpets [2] {8:6} or, trumpets [3] {8:7} TR omits "One third of the earth was burnt up" [4] {8:13} TR reads "angel" instead of "eagle" [5] {8:13} or, trumpets ________________________________________________________________________ The World English Bible: Messianic Edition is in the Public Domain.
