Key Clarifications
Does Jesus place it on the altar? No — an angel does. Jesus prepares it; the angel presents it.
Is the angel Jesus? No. Revelation distinguishes “another angel” from “the Lamb.”
Does God “process” it? Yes — He sovereignly decides when and how to answer.
Is every prayer answered with hail? No. Some become healing, revival, protection, or silent grace.
