The Lamb Breaks the Seventh Seal

When the Lamb broke the seventh seal on the scroll,[a] there was silence throughout heaven for about half an hour. I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets.

Then another angel with a gold incense burner came and stood at the altar. And a great amount of incense was given to him to mix with the prayers of God’s people as an offering on the gold altar before the throne. The smoke of the incense, mixed with the prayers of God’s holy people, ascended up to God from the altar where the angel had poured them out. Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar and threw it down upon the earth; and thunder crashed, lightning flashed, and there was a terrible earthquake.

The First Four Trumpets

Then the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow their mighty blasts.

The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth. One-third of the earth was set on fire, one-third of the trees were burned, and all the green grass was burned.

Then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the water in the sea became blood, one-third of all things living in the sea died, and one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed.

10 Then the third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch. It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star was Bitterness.[b] It made one-third of the water bitter, and many people died from drinking the bitter water.

12 Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet, and one-third of the sun was struck, and one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars, and they became dark. And one-third of the day was dark, and also one-third of the night.

13 Then I looked, and I heard a single eagle crying loudly as it flew through the air, “Terror, terror, terror to all who belong to this world because of what will happen when the last three angels blow their trumpets.”

El Cordero rompe el séptimo sello

Cuando el Cordero rompió el séptimo sello del rollo,[a] hubo silencio por todo el cielo durante una media hora. Vi a los siete ángeles que están de pie delante de Dios, a los cuales se les dieron siete trompetas.

Entonces vino otro ángel con un recipiente de oro para quemar incienso y se paró ante el altar. Se le dio una gran cantidad de incienso para mezclarlo con las oraciones del pueblo de Dios como una ofrenda sobre el altar de oro delante del trono. El humo del incienso, mezclado con las oraciones del pueblo santo de Dios, subió hasta la presencia de Dios desde el altar donde el ángel lo había derramado. Entonces el ángel llenó el recipiente para quemar incienso con fuego del altar y lo lanzó sobre la tierra; y hubo truenos con gran estruendo, relámpagos y un gran terremoto.

Las primeras cuatro trompetas

Entonces los siete ángeles con las siete trompetas se prepararon para hacerlas sonar.

El primer ángel tocó su trompeta, y granizo y fuego mezclados con sangre fueron lanzados sobre la tierra. Se incendió la tercera parte de la tierra, y se quemó la tercera parte de los árboles y toda la hierba verde.

Entonces el segundo ángel tocó su trompeta, y una gran montaña de fuego fue lanzada al mar. La tercera parte de las aguas del mar se convirtió en sangre, murió la tercera parte de todos los seres que viven en el mar y fue destruida la tercera parte de todos los barcos.

10 Entonces el tercer ángel tocó su trompeta, y una gran estrella cayó del cielo, ardiendo como una antorcha. Cayó sobre una tercera parte de los ríos y sobre los manantiales de agua. 11 El nombre de la estrella era Amargura.[b] Hizo que la tercera parte de las aguas se volviera amarga, y mucha gente murió por beber de esa agua amarga.

12 Entonces el cuarto ángel tocó su trompeta, y se dañó la tercera parte del sol y la tercera parte de la luna y la tercera parte de las estrellas, y se oscurecieron. Así que la tercera parte del día quedó sin luz, y también la tercera parte de la noche.

13 Entonces miré, y oí la voz de un águila que cruzaba los cielos gritando fuerte: «¡Terror, terror, terror para todos los habitantes de este mundo por lo que vendrá cuando los últimos tres ángeles toquen sus trompetas!».

The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer

When he opened the seventh seal,(A) there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

And I saw the seven angels(B) who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.(C)

Another angel,(D) who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people,(E) on the golden altar(F) in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God(G) from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar,(H) and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder,(I) rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.(J)

The Trumpets

Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets(K) prepared to sound them.

The first angel(L) sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire(M) mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third(N) of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.(O)

The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain,(P) all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third(Q) of the sea turned into blood,(R) a third(S) of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

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!”
