Lessons from Revelation Chapter 8
The heaven is always filled With praises unto the King The heaven, it is not silent For God there is always praised But when seventh seal was opened There silence in heaven was For half an hour dead silence For something was dreadful to come But before the wrath of God Was poured upon this sinful earth Another angel did come And stood at the alter then Much incense was given to him To offer with prayers of saints The prayers of saints and that incense Ascended up there, before God Those prayers to God that you pray They never at all are forgotten Each prayer to God that is prayed By saints, it is not forgotten And then one by one, seven angels Their trumpets they then did sound And there came hail and fire And third part of trees were burned The third of the sea became blood The third of the ships were destroyed A great star from heaven fell On third part of rivers it fell The name of that star is called Wormwood The third part of waters it ruined And bitter became water from it And many men died as result The third part of sun was smitten The third part of moon was too And so was the third part of stars And third part of them was darkened And then through the midst of heaven An angel did fly, loudly said Woe, woe to on earth who are living …Because things will get much worse
