Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Revelation 7
¹⁵ Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them.
¹⁶ They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;
¹⁷ for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
Revelation 8
¹ When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
² And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
³ Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
⁴ And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.
⁵ Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.
⁶ So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
⁷ The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
⁸ Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.
