When the Lamb breaks the seventh SEAL, there is silence in heaven for about half an hour. Then He gives seven TRUMPETS to seven angels. At the altar, prayers of the saints and smoke of incense keep going up before God. Another angel fills the censer with fire and throws it to the earth. Now the judgment angels begin to sound their TRUMPETS. With the first TRUMPET, a third of the earth, trees and grass is burned up. The second TRUMPET destroys a third of the sea; the third poisons a third of the waters; and the fourth darkens the sun, moon and stars.
