My thought it that the Angel stood before the alter with a sensor that was full of praise and prayers from the saints in the earth that at are believing for miracles. The incense represented the prayers from the saints that were then poured out before the throne of God.

Since an "alter " is a place of sacrifice , and Jesus is the LAST sacrifice , "it is finished " this 'ALTER ' in Heaven must be symbolic, and more like the table where the shewbread was displayed ,in the temple. There is NO "alter " for SACRIFICE in Heaven all SACRIFICING was done on EARTH Jesus sacrifice happened on EARTH ' ,Therefore the souls of the saints MUST be in their graves ON EARTH, asleep ,waiting for the last trump NO BODY is in Heaven OR Hell yet , because the judgement hasnt happened yet ,and wont happen until Christ returns to give his rewards , Rev 22,12
