Judgments Falling from Heaven.
Censers are meant to burn incense. So, what does it mean that a censer is filled with fire from the altar and thrown to the earth? It is an indication of judgment in response to the prayers of the saints.
If we look back in Scripture for fire being thrown to the earth, we find the judgment that fell on Sodom and Gomorrah. Fire falling from heaven represents the judgments being administered in each of the trumpets in response to the prayers of God’s people; not just the final judgment at the world’s end.
Fiery judgments did not fall just once from heaven. The context of the seven trumpets indicates an ongoing work of judgment by God in response to the prayers of the saints, both in biblical history and through Christian history.
The lesson we can take away from this passage is the assurance that our Lord is a prayer-hearing God. Though we may not always realize how He is working for us, He is acting on behalf of His people. In the chaos of history and in the midst of persecution, the Lord is working in ways we may not see or expect. For instance, the attack on the papal power by the Muslims turned the attention of the Roman church away from the Reformation, giving it room to grow, as we will see under the fifth trumpet.
As we will also see, there will be a final “fire” that will come “down from God out of heaven” (Revelation 20:9) to destroy the wicked forever. How tragic that the end of the unrepentant will be eternal death, never to return to life: “The smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever” (14:11); how easily they could have been granted eternal life and been covered by the smoke of the incense of the spotless Son of God (Numbers 16:46–48).
We are now going to study the seven trumpets, examples of God’s incremental judgments throughout history that ultimately lead up to His seventh and �final judgment.
Righteous Judge, though I am guilty of the crime of sin, I praise You for the pardon granted me by the saving blood of Jesus.
For Further Study: Leviticus 10:1–10; Ezekiel 10:2–7; 2 Peter 2:6

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. Revelation 8:5
