8:2And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

8:3And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

8:6And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
