Revelation 8:2

1 When the Lamb 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 they were given seven trumpets.

3 Then another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, along with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne.

4 And the smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, rose up before God from the hand of the angel.
