Revelation 8:5-7

5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with burning coals from the altar, and hurled it down to the earth. There were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.(A)
The First Four Trumpets. 6 The seven angels who were holding the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.(B)
7 When the first one blew his trumpet, there came hail and fire mixed with blood, which was hurled down to the earth. A third of the land was burned up, along with a third of the trees and all green grass.[a]
