Revelation 8

8 When the Lamb ripped off the seventh seal, Heaven fell quiet— complete silence for about half an hour.

Blowing the Trumpets

^2-4 I saw the Seven Angels who are always in readiness before God handed seven trumpets. Then another Angel, carrying a gold censer, came and stood at the Altar. He was given a great quantity of incense so that he could offer up the prayers of all the holy people of God on the Golden Altar before the Throne. Smoke billowed up from the incense-laced prayers of the holy ones, rose before God from the hand of the Angel.

 

 THE ANGELS FILLED THAT VOID

WITH SILENT VOICES

TELLING OF THE MANY WAYS

MAN REFUSES TO HONOR GOD

FROM ATHEISTS

TO RELIGIOUS FANATICS

 

THEN GOD SAID

INCENSE THOSE WHO DO MY WILL

 

IN THE SPIRALING SMOKE

LIFT ALL MY ELECT TO ME

 

FOR THAT SILENCE

PARALLELS THE SILENCE

BEFORE I CREATED ALL

FROM NOTHING

 

I GIVE YOU A LAST MINUTE CALL

FOR YOU TO SEEK FORGIVENESS

 

IF YOU CANNOT BELIEVE MY WORDS

BELIEVE WHAT I CAN DO

HAVE DONE

 

FOR THERE WILL BE A NEW HEAVEN

A NEW EARTH

 

WHEN THE SEVEN TRUMPET BEARING ANGELS

DO THEIR WORK

 

GOD WILL WIPE THE TEARS FROM THE EYES OF THE ELECT
