Revelation 8:4 Revelation 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’ s hand. Christ our mediator standing at the golden altar with his golden censer in his hand, received much incense to offer up (with the prayers of the saints) upon the golden altar. The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascend up before God, out of the angels hand. That is, the prayers, intercessions, thanksgiving, and supplications of the saints, had access to God, through Jesus Christ, \ with acceptance, \ for Christ’ s sake, in whom God is well pleased; and the prayers of the saints also heard, their persons and services are accepted in Jesus Christ his beloved son.
