The angel now took the “golden censer” he had with him (Revelation 8:3), shoved it into the coals burning on the altar, and threw those coals upon the earth. Those same coals had released the sweet-smelling aroma of the incense in Revelation 8:3. These coals rained upon the earth, then, even as the aroma of the incense filled the nostrils of God.
5 Et l'ange prit l'encensoir, le remplit du feu de l'autel, et le jeta sur la terre. Et il y eut des voix, des coups de tonnerre, des éclairs, et un tremblement de terre.
