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. ( day of atonement )
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.”

I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and

stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.”

the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the
heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”
