At nang buksan niya ang ikapitong tatak, ay nagkaroon ng katahimikan sa langit na may kalahating oras.

At nakita ko ang pitong anghel na nangakatayo sa harapan ng Dios; at sila'y binigyan ng pitong pakakak.

At dumating ang ibang anghel at tumayo sa harap ng dambana, na may hawak na isang gintong pangsuob ng kamangyan; at binigyan siya ng maraming kamangyan, upang idagdag ito sa mga panalangin ng lahat ng mga banal sa ibabaw ng dambanang ginto, na nasa harapan ng luklukan.

At ang usok ng kamangyan, kalakip ng mga panalangin ng mga banal, ay napailanglang mula sa kamay ng anghel, sa harapan ng Dios.

At kinuha ng anghel ang pangsuob ng kamangyan; at pinuno niya ng apoy ng dambana, at itinapon sa lupa: at nagkaroon ng mga kulog, at mga tinig, at mga kidlat, at ng isang lindol.

At ang pitong anghel na may pitong pakakak ay nagsihanda upang magsihihip.

At humihip ang una, at nagkaroon ng granizo at apoy, na may halong dugo, at itinapon sa lupa: at ang ikatlong bahagi ng lupa ay nasunog, at ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga punong kahoy ay nasunog, at ang lahat ng sariwang damo ay nasunog.

At humihip ang ikalawang anghel, at ang tulad sa isang malaking bundok na nagliliyab sa apoy ay nabulusok sa dagat: at ang ikatlong bahagi ng dagat ay naging dugo;

At namatay ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga nilalang na nasa dagat, na mga may buhay; at ang ikatlong bahagi sa mga daong ay nawalat.

10 At humihip ang ikatlong anghel, at nahulog mula sa langit ang isang malaking bituin, na nagliliyab na gaya ng isang sulo, at nahulog sa ikatlong bahagi ng mga ilog, at sa mga bukal ng tubig;

11 At ang pangalan ng bituin ay Ajenjo: at ang ikatlong bahagi ng tubig ay naging ajenjo; at maraming tao ay nangamatay dahil sa tubig, sapagka't mapait ang tubig.

12 At humihip ang ikaapat na anghel, at nasugatan ang ikatlong bahagi ng araw, at ang ikatlong bahagi ng buwan, at ang ikatlong bahagi ng bituin; upang magdilim ang ikatlong bahagi nila, at upang ang ikatlong bahagi ng maghapon ay huwag lumiwanag, at gayon din naman ang gabi.

13 At nakita ko, at narinig ko ang isang anghel, na lumilipad sa pagitan ng langit, na nagsasabi ng malakas na tinig, Sa aba, sa aba, sa aba ng mga nananahan sa ibabaw ng lupa, dahil sa mga ibang tunog ng pakakak ng tatlong anghel, na magsisihihip pa.

The Seventh Seal

When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. Then I saw the seven angels who stand in the presence of God; seven trumpets were given to them. Another angel, with a gold incense burner, came and stood at the altar. He was given a large amount of incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the gold altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up in the presence of God from the angel’s hand. The angel took the incense burner, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it to the earth; there were rumblings of thunder, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.

The First Trumpet

The first angel[a] blew his trumpet, and hail and fire, mixed with blood, were hurled to the earth. So a third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

The Second Trumpet

The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain ablaze with fire was hurled into the sea.(A) So a third of the sea became blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

The Third Trumpet

10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from heaven.(B) It fell on a third of the rivers and springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood, and a third of the waters became wormwood. So, many of the people died from the waters, because they had been made bitter.

The Fourth Trumpet

12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day was without light, and the night as well.(C)

13 I looked again and heard an eagle[b] flying high overhead, crying out in a loud voice, “Woe!(D) Woe! Woe to those who live on the earth, because of the remaining trumpet blasts that the three angels are about to sound!”

Seventh Seal: Prelude to the Seven Trumpets

When(A) He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. (B)And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, (C)and to them were given seven trumpets. Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with (D)the prayers of all the saints upon (E)the golden altar which was before the throne. And (F)the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And (G)there were noises, thunderings, (H)lightnings, (I)and an earthquake.

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

First Trumpet: Vegetation Struck

The first angel sounded: (J)And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown (K)to the [a]earth. And a third (L)of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

Second Trumpet: The Seas Struck

Then the second angel sounded: (M)And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, (N)and a third of the sea (O)became blood. (P)And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Third Trumpet: The Waters Struck

10 Then the third angel sounded: (Q)And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, (R)and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 (S)The name of the star is Wormwood. (T)A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

Fourth Trumpet: The Heavens Struck

12 (U)Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day [b]did not shine, and likewise the night.

13 And I looked, (V)and I heard an [c]angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, (W)“Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky(T) on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water(U) 11 the name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third(V) of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.(W)

12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third(X) of them turned dark.(Y) A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.(Z)

13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair(AA) call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe(AB) to the inhabitants of the earth,(AC) because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”
