Fourth Trumpet: The Heavens Struck
12 (C)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 [a]did not shine, and likewise the night.
13 And I looked, (D)and I heard an [b]angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, (E)“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!”
