***Johns descriptions of the saints in heaven is not one of saints who can make intersession, but of saints waiting for the final judgment.***

“And the smioke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended up before God from the hand of the angel.” Revelation 8:4

How do you explain this verse?

An exegetical reading of Revelation 8:4 in context with a general scriptural understanding based on an exegetical reading of other scriptures, gives an excellent explanation.

If you wish to debate the merits of Revelation 8:4 based on a non-eisegetical interpretation thereof, please let me know.

The saints spoken of here are the believers, whom God calls his saints. It’s our prayers He’s talking about here.
