7: 15.

And he who is sitting on the Throne
Will spread his tent over them.

They will hunger no more, nor thirst any

more,

Nor will the sun strike on them, nor any heat.
For the Lamb who is in the middle of the

Throne

Will be their shepherd,

And will guide them to springs of living

waters.

And God will wipe away every tear from their

eyes.

PROEM TO THE SEVEN TRUMPETS.

(Silence of Expectation.)

And when he opened the Seventh Seal,

There came a silence for half an hour.

PART 2.

And I saw the Seven Angels who stand before God, And they were given Seven Trumpets.

And another Angel came,

And stood at the Altar holding a gold Censer; And he was given a great deal of incense

To add it to the prayers of all the devoted ones On the gold Altar

Which was before the Throne.

8:4.

And the smoke of the incense,

With the prayers of the saints,
Went up before God

Out the Angel's hands.

And the Angel took the Censer

And mixed it with the fire

From the Altar,

And threw it to the earth,
And there followed thunders and voices,

And lightnings

And an earthquake.

THE SEVEN TRUMPETS.

And the Seven Angels

Who had the Seven Trumpets

Got ready to blow.

(Fire and Blood.)

And the First blew,

And there followed hail and fire mixed with

blood,

And they were thrown to the earth.

And the third part of the earth was burnt up,
And the third part of the trees was burnt up,
And all green grass was burnt up.

(The Burning Mountain.)

8:8.

And the Second Angel blew,

And as it were a great mountain burning with fire,

Was thrown into the sea.

And the third part of the sea became blood,
And the third part of the creatures

Which were in the sea and had life died.
And the third part of the ships were destroyed.

(The Burning Star.)

And the Third Angel blew,

And there fell from heaven a great star

Burning like a torch,

And it fell on the third part of the rivers,
And on the fountains of the Waters,

And the name of the star is called Wormwood: And the third part of the Waters became wormwood

And many men died of the waters,

Because they were made bitter.

(Sun, Moon and Stars Smitten.)

And the Fourth Angel blew,

And the third part of the sun was smitten,
And the third part of the moon,

And the third part of the stars,

So that the third part of them should be darkened, And the day should not shine for the third part of it,

And the night in the same way.

8:13.

INTERLUDE.

And I saw,

And I heard an Eagle flying in mid-heaven,
Saying in a loud voice:

"Woe, woe, woe,

For those who are living on the earth,

Because of the blasts of the Trumpet
Of the three Angels who are yet to blow."

(The Pit of the Abyss.)

And the Fifth Angel blew his trumpet:

And I saw a star from heaven fallen on the earth:
And he was given the key of the pit of the abyss.
And he opened the pit of the abyss,

And there went up a smoke out of the pit,
Like the smoke of a great furnace.

And the sun and the air were darkened

Because of the smoke of the pit.

And out of the smoke came locusts to the earth.

And they were given authority,

Like the scorpions of the earth have authority.

And they were told not to hurt the grass of the

earth,

Nor any green thing, nor any tree,

But only such men,

As have not the seal of God on their foreheads.

And they were not given authority to kill them,

But to torture them five months.

And the torture inflicted by them
Was like the torture of a scorpion,
When it strikes a man:

And in those days men will seek death,
And will in no way find it.

And they will desire to die,

And death will keep fleeing from them. And the shapes of the locusts,

Were like horses prepared for war. And on their heads they had

As it were crowns like gold,

And their faces were like men's faces.
And they had hair like the hair of women,
And their teeth were like the teeth of lions.

9:5.

And they had breastplates like breastplates of

iron,

And the sound of their wings

Was like the sound of chariots of

rushing to war.

many horses

And they have tails like scorpions, and stings;

And in their tails is their power to hurt men five months.

They have over them a King,

The Angel of the Abyss,

His name in Hebrew is Abaddon,

And in the Greek he has the name Apollyon.
