Another angel, with a golden 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 golden 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 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 also a third of the night.

say to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels bound at the great river Euphrates.”
