“And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.”
Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake — the angel's action of casting the censer's fire to earth initiates catastrophe; thunder, rumblings, lightning, and earthquake follow, signifying that the subsequent trumpet judgments are God's response to the saints' prayers. Judgment and mercy intertwine: God hears the cry of the oppressed.
