And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 8 of Revelation. The opening of the seventh seal produces silence in heaven for about half an hour. Seven angels receive seven trumpets, and another angel offers incense together with the prayers of the saints on the altar before the throne. The silence introduces solemnity before a new series of judgments. The incense connects the prayers of believers with divine action in history: the petitions of the saints are not irrelevant, but symbolically presented before God before judgment is unleashed.
