Join us as we observe how John highlights the profound silence before God’s final judgment in Revelation 8, symbolizing reverence, awe, and the solemnity of the moment and mirroring the silence during the offering of incense in the Jewish temple. Incense represents the prayers of the faithful, rising to God with holiness, purity, and dedication, emphasizing that righteous prayer has power and direct access to God’s throne. The scene underscores God's holiness, the seriousness of judgment, and the powerful role of prayer in spiritual communion and divine response.
