1And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 2And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
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. 4And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. 5And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. – Revelation 8:1-6 KJV
Censer of Fire from God’s Altar – Incense of Prayers of Saints Ascends Before God
The opening of the 7th seal brings silence in heaven for “half an hour.” The 7 trumpets of God are handed out. Another angel fills a censer with fire from the altar of God. The fire is made up of the prayers of the saints kept on God’s altar. God has heard His children and the prayers have come to a critical mass and God acts. The censer of fire is cast into the earth.
Angel 2
Compare this with Angel 2 flying after Christ is with the 144K sealed and Angel 1 has flown preaching the gospel to the world.
8And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. – Revelation 14:8 KJV
Based on the order of the 3 angels with Christ, we know some component of Babylon is destroyed prior to the flight of the Angel 3 warning those on earth not to worship the beast, it’s image or take the mark. Revelation 18 also describes Angel 2.
1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. – Revelation 18:1-3 KJV
Come Out of Her My People
4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. – Revelation 18:4-5 KJV
God’s saints who remain on earth are called to come out of her, to avoid the punishments of her sin. We must be listening with our spirit ears to hear Holy Spirit and know the plan God has for each of us as we see last days events coming to pass.
