1. The Lamb opened the seventh seal. Then there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2. I saw the seven angels who stand in front of God. Seven trumpets were given to them.
3. Another angel came and stood at the altar. He had a shallow gold cup for burning incense. He was given a lot of incense to offer on the golden altar in front of the throne. With the incense he offered the prayers of all God's people.
