Luke 1:10• 10And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. (Luke 1:10)
• Spiritual prayer at the very best is necessarily imperfect, and so Christ adds His own perfectness in life and death. Thus the smoke of the incense, that is, the savor of Christ and the prayers of the saints went up together, not out of the golden censer, but “out of the hand of the angel before God.” (“Revelation 8: The First Four Trumpets” by W. Scott)
• Incense was also burned upon it each morning and evening (Ex. 30:7-10), “a perpetual incense before the Lord.” The deep, deep meaning of the incense is more than tongue can tell or pen delineate. The sweet savor of Christ, what He was, what He did, and what He suffered is set forth by the incense. (“Revelation 8: The First Four Trumpets” by W. Scott)
• A large body of suffering saints are on earth during the time of the sounding of the Trumpets, and for them intercession is needed. (“Revelation 8: The First Four Trumpets” by W. Scott)
