Revelation 8 NLT

2 I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets. 
3 Then another angel with a gold incense burner came and stood at the altar. And a great amount of incense was given to him to mix with the prayers of God’s people as an offering on the gold altar before the throne. 
4 The smoke of the incense, mixed with the prayers of God’s holy people, ascended up to God from the altar where the angel had poured them out. 
5 Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar and threw it down upon the earth; and thunder crashed, lightning flashed, and there was a terrible earthquake. 
6 Then the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow their mighty blasts. 
7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth. One-third of the earth was set on fire, one-third of the trees were burned, and all the green grass was burned. 
8 Then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the water in the sea became blood, 
9 one-third of all things living in the sea died, and one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed. 
10Then the third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch. It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 
11 The name of the star was Bitterness. It made one-third of the water bitter, and many people died from drinking the bitter water. 
12 Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet, and one-third of the sun was struck, and one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars, and they became dark. And one-third of the day was dark, and also one-third of the night. 
13 Then I looked, and I heard a single eagle crying loudly as it flew through the air, “Terror, terror, terror to all who belong to this world because of what will happen when the last three angels blow their trumpets.”



Revelation 9 NLT
1 Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. 
2 When he opened it, smoke poured out as though from a huge furnace, and the sunlight and air turned dark from the smoke. 
3 Then locusts came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were given power to sting like scorpions. 
4 They were told not to harm the grass or plants or trees, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 
5 They were told not to kill them but to torture them for five months with pain like the pain of a scorpion sting. 
6 In those days people will seek death but will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them! 
7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. They had what looked like gold crowns on their heads, and their faces looked like human faces. 
8 They had hair like women’s hair and teeth like the teeth of a lion. 
9 They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle. 
10They had tails that stung like scorpions, and for five months they had the power to torment people. 
11 Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is and in Greek, —the Destroyer. 
12 The first terror is past, but look, two more terrors are coming! 
13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice speaking from the four horns of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God. 
14 And the voice said to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River.” 
15 Then the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were turned loose to kill one-third of all the people on earth. 
16 I heard the size of their army, which was 200 million mounted troops. 
17 And in my vision, I saw the horses and the riders sitting on them. The riders wore armor that was fiery red and dark blue and yellow. The horses had heads like lions, and fire and smoke and burning sulfur billowed from their mouths.
18 One-third of all the people on earth were killed by these three plagues—by the fire and smoke and burning sulfur that came from the mouths of the horses. 
19 Their power was in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails had heads like snakes, with the power to injure people. 
20 But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk! 
21 And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.



Revelation 10 NLT
1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head. His face shone like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire. 
2 And in his hand was a small scroll that had been opened. He stood with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land. 
3 And he gave a great shout like the roar of a lion. And when he shouted, the seven thunders answered. 
4 When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Keep secret what the seven thunders said, and do not write it down.” 
5 Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand toward heaven. 
6 He swore an oath in the name of the one who lives forever and ever, who created the heavens and everything in them, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it. He said, “There will be no more delay. 
7 When the seventh angel blows his trumpet, God’s mysterious plan will be fulfilled. It will happen just as he announced it to his servants the prophets.” 
8 Then the voice from heaven spoke to me again: “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” 
9 So I went to the angel and told him to give me the small scroll. “Yes, take it and eat it,” he said. “It will be sweet as honey in your mouth, but it will turn sour in your stomach!” 
10 So I took the small scroll from the hand of the angel, and I ate it! It was sweet in my mouth, but when I swallowed it, it turned sour in my stomach. 
11 Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”



Revelation 11 NLT
1 Then I was given a measuring stick, and I was told, “Go and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers. 
2 But do not measure the outer courtyard, for it has been turned over to the nations. They will trample the holy city for 42 months. 
3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will be clothed in burlap and will prophesy during those 1,260 days.” 
4 These two prophets are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of all the earth. 
5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire flashes from their mouths and consumes their enemies. This is how anyone who tries to harm them must die. 
6 They have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall for as long as they prophesy. And they have the power to turn the rivers and oceans into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish. 
7When they complete their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the bottomless pit will declare war against them, and he will conquer them and kill them. 
8 And their bodies will lie in the main street of Jerusalem, the city that is figuratively called “Sodom” and “Egypt,” the city where their Lord was crucified. 
9 And for three and a half days, all peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will stare at their bodies. No one will be allowed to bury them. 
10 All the people who belong to this world will gloat over them and give presents to each other to celebrate the death of the two prophets who had tormented them. 
11 But after three and a half days, God breathed life into them, and they stood up! Terror struck all who were staring at them. 
12 Then a loud voice from heaven called to the two prophets, “Come up here!” And they rose to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched. 
13 At the same time there was a terrible earthquake that destroyed a tenth of the city. Seven thousand people died in that earthquake, and everyone else was terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. 
14 The second terror is past, but look, the third terror is coming quickly. 
15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven: “The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.”
16 The twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones before God fell with their faces to the ground and worshiped him.
17 And they said, “We give thanks to you, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who always was, for now you have assumed your great power and have begun to reign.
18 The nations were filled with wrath, but now the time of your wrath has come. It is time to judge the dead and reward your servants the prophets, as well as your holy people, and all who fear your name, from the least to the greatest. It is time to destroy all who have caused destruction on the earth.” 

19 Then, in heaven, the Temple of God was opened and the Ark of his covenant could be seen inside the Temple. Lightning flashed, thunder crashed and roared, and there was an earthquake and a terrible hailstorm.
