Into the Fire

Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

Revelation 8:1-5 (NIV)

*Please remember to pray for Kristy Dykes.*

    I love that passage. My version is more clear in saying that the incense IS the prayers of the saints. Our prayers smell wonderful to God!
    And I always wonder about the 30 minutes of silence… Is it awe? Is it fear? Is it commanded? I think awe fits best. It just boggles my mind.
