In context
1When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer. He was given a great quantity of incense to offer, together with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar in front of the throne.
