21
The incense on the golden altar before the throne
Revelation 8: 1-6
After it had opened seal seven, there was silence in heaven, as long as half an hour, and I saw the seven angels, that stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
And suddenly followed lightning, thunderclap, roar of voices and earthquake. And the seven angels, which had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to blow the trumpet.
And another angel came foreward, and went to the altar with the golden censer.
And the angel took the senser, and filled it with the fire of the altar and cast it on the earth.
And to him was given much incense, that he should offer with the prayers of all saints on the golden altar, wich was before the throne; and the smoke of the incense ascended up with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel to God.

En de engel nam het wierookvat, en vulde dat met het vuur van het altaars en wierp het op de aarde.
