Wormwood Asteroid Scriptures

Wormwood Asteroid Scriptures

Besides Revelation chapters 8 and 9, the Bible actually has a lot to say about the time of Wormwood! Go ahead and read Rev. 8 & 9 where Trumpets 1-6 are the Wormwood asteroid or a direct result of Wormwood. But here some additional scriptures to study along with those passages that could potentially be talking about the Wormwood asteroid but it must be stated that the Day of the Lord and asteroid scriptures can be hard to separate:

Mat 24:29 NASB  “But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Luk 21:25 NASB  “There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,

Mar 13:24-25 NASB  “But in those days, after that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT,  (25)  AND THE STARS WILL BE FALLING from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

Rev 6:12-16 NASB  And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became as black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;  (13)  and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind.  (14)  The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.  (15)  Then the kings of the earth and the eminent people, and the commanders and the wealthy and the strong, and every slave and free person hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains;  (16)  and they *said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the sight of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;

Isa 13:9-10 NASB  Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, Cruel, with fury and burning anger, To make the land a desolation; And He will exterminate its sinners from it.  (10)  For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not flash their light; The sun will be dark when it rises And the moon will not shed its light…(13) Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, And the earth will be shaken from its place At the fury of the LORD of armies In the day of His burning anger.

Isa 24:17-20 NASB  Terror and pit and snare Confront you, you inhabitant of the earth.  (18)  Then it will be that the one who flees the sound of terror will fall into the pit, And the one who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare; For the windows above are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake.  (19)  The earth is broken apart, The earth is split through, The earth is shaken violently.  (20)  The earth trembles like a heavy drinker And sways like a hut, For its wrongdoing is heavy upon it, And it will fall, never to rise again.

Joe 1:15-20 NASB  Woe for the day! For the day of the LORD is near, And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.  (16)  Has food not been cut off before our eyes, and Joy and rejoicing from the house of our God?  (17)  The seeds have dried up under their shovels; The storehouses have become desolate, The grain silos are ruined, Because the grain has dried up.  (18)  How the animals have groaned! The herds of cattle have wandered aimlessly Because there is no pasture for them; Even the flocks of sheep have suffered.  (19)  To You, LORD, I cry out; For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, And the flame has burned up all the trees of the field.  (20)  Even the animals of the field pant for You; For the stream beds of water are dried up, And fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

  • It seems the circumstances of the asteroid produce dried seeds, desolate storehouses, ruined food, dried grain. Animals and people have no food.
  • Fire has consumed the farm lands, pastures, and forests. Rivers have dried up.
  • These circumstances precede the Day of the Lord by some indeterminate amount of time. Could be several months to over a few years.
  • This is likely due to the Wormwood asteroid meaning some time within years the Lord will come.
  • BTW, the Lord promises a reversal of all these things: Joe 2:21-27 NASB  Do not fear, land; shout for joy and rejoice, For the LORD has done great things.  (22)  Do not fear, animals of the field, For the pastures of the wilderness have turned green, For the tree has produced its fruit, The fig tree and the vine have yielded in full.  (23)  So shout for joy, you sons of Zion, And rejoice in the LORD your God; For He has given you the early rain for your vindication. And He has brought down for you the rain, The early and latter rain as before.  (24)  The threshing floors will be full of grain, And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil.  (25)  “Then I will compensate you for the years That the swarming locust has eaten, The creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust— My great army which I sent among you.  (26)  “You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied, And you will praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; Then My people will never be put to shame.  (27)  “So you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the LORD your God And there is no other; And My people will never be put to shame.

Joe 2:10-11 NASB  Before them the earth quakes, The heavens tremble, The sun and the moon become dark, And the stars lose their brightness.  (11)  The LORD utters His voice before His army; His camp is indeed very great, For mighty is one who carries out His word. The day of the LORD is indeed great and very awesome, And who can endure it?

Joe 2:30-31 NASB  “I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire, and columns of smoke.  (31)  “The sun will be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.

Joe 3:11-16 NASB  Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, And gather yourselves there. Bring down, LORD, Your warriors.  (12)  Let the nations be awakened And come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I will sit to judge All the surrounding nations.  (13)  Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread the grapes, for the wine press is full; The vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.  (14)  Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.  (15)  The sun and moon have become dark, And the stars have lost their brightness.  (16)  The LORD roars from Zion And utters His voice from Jerusalem, And the heavens and the earth quake. But the LORD is a refuge for His people, And a stronghold for the sons of Israel.

  • This tells us the timing of the Day of the Lord. It is the time of Armageddon based on the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
  • It is the time the Wrath harvest: Rev 14:18-20 NASB  Then another angel, the one who has power over fire, came out from the altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Put in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe.”  (19)  So the angel swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the clusters from the vine of the earth, and threw them into the great wine press of the wrath of God.  (20)  And the wine press was trampled outside the city, and blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses’ bridles, for a distance of 1,600 stadia.
  • But notice it has many of the same events in the skies and earth. It is unclear if they are happening because of the Lord’s presence or because they are the lingering results of the asteroid strike.

Zep 1:2-3 NASB  “I will completely remove all things From the face of the earth,” declares the LORD.  (3)  “I will remove human and animal life; I will remove the birds of the sky And the fish of the sea, And the ruins along with the wicked; And I will eliminate mankind from the face of the earth,” declares the LORD.

Zep 1:14-18 NASB  The great day of the LORD is near, Near and coming very quickly; Listen, the day of the LORD! In it the warrior cries out bitterly.  (15)  That day is a day of anger, A day of trouble and distress, A day of destruction and desolation, A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness,  (16)  A day of trumpet and battle cry Against the fortified cities And the high corner towers.  (17)  I will bring distress on mankind So that they will walk like those who are blind, Because they have sinned against the LORD; And their blood will be poured out like dust, And their flesh like dung.  (18)  Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them On the day of the LORD’S anger; And all the earth will be devoured By the fire of His jealousy, For He will make a complete end, Indeed a horrifying one, Of all the inhabitants of the earth.

Act 2:19-20 NASB  ‘AND I WILL DISPLAY WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW, BLOOD, FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.  (20)  ‘THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD COMES.

2Pe 3:10 NASB  But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be discovered.

  • So it is clear there will be intense heat likely from the presence of Jesus.
  • Also the earth will be exposed. Would that not also be what happens when an asteroid strikes the earth? But check out the next verses in Nahum below.

__________________________________

The following verses of Nahum seem to differentiate what is happening specifically because of the Lord’s presence and not the asteroid. This is a tremendous help in dividing the two events: the Wormwood asteroid strike versus the Day of the Lord.

Nah 1:2-6 NASB  A jealous and avenging God is the LORD; The LORD is avenging and wrathful. The LORD takes vengeance on His adversaries, And He reserves wrath for His enemies.  (3)  The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, And the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. In the gale and the storm is His way, And clouds are the dust beneath His feet.  (4)  He rebukes the sea and dries it up; He dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither, The blossoms of Lebanon wither.  (5)  Mountains quake because of Him, And the hills come apart; Indeed the earth is upheaved by His presence, The world and all the inhabitants in it.  (6)  Who can stand before His indignation? Who can endure the burning of His anger? His wrath gushes forth like fire, And the rocks are broken up by Him.

Psa 97:1-6 NASB  The LORD reigns, may the earth rejoice; May the many islands be joyful.  (2)  Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.  (3)  Fire goes before Him And burns up His enemies all around.  (4)  His lightning lit up the world; The earth saw it and trembled.  (5)  The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.  (6)  The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.

Note: THE Day of the Lord begins with the Rapture Isa_13:6-12; Joe_2:10-11; Joe_2:31; Zep_1:2; Zep_1:14-15; Zec_14:5; Act_2:20; 1Th_5:2; 2Pe_3:10-12; 1Co_5:5.
