How does the altar of incense relate to prayer?

Answered in 1 source

The altar of incense signifies the prayers of the saints, which are presented to God through Christ's intercession.

The altar of incense serves as a powerful illustration of how our prayers are brought before God. In Revelation 8:3-4, the incense represents the prayers of all the saints being offered to God. This connects the physical act of burning incense in the tabernacle to the spiritual reality of prayer today. Furthermore, it shows that Christ mediates these prayers, ensuring they are pleasing to our holy God. As we pray, we can have confidence that our petitions are accepted not based on our merits but because of Christ’s perfect intercession, illustrating the grace of God in our communication with Him.
