130 Foot Long Barringer Meteorite Just Misses the Visitor's Center!
BTW
In order to trigger catastrophic events that could wipe out humans from Earth, the asteroid should have a diameter of over 10 kilometers. (6 miles ). Although asteroids that range from 1 to 10 kilometers wide can certainly cause a lot of destruction on Earth, they are not powerful enough to make the entire planet completely uninhabitable. So we know WORMWOOD must be very small
Dr Thiell Asks:
"Mega-Comet" That Is At Least 62 Mile Wide Has Entered Our Solar System
Could Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein be Wormwood?"
(NOTE: Evidently not. That large and the Earth becomes confetti. Now one does have to ask, who first named it and how did he know? )
For a complete list of known exceptional planetesimals and asteroids that the author of Revelation had to choose from see:
("Wormwood" not currently listed)

Dr Thiel Continues...
"So after the above, notice that something from outer-space is to hit:
10 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter. (Revelation 8:10-11)
Notice that Wormwood does not fall until after the third trumpet associated with the seventh seal of Revelation is blown. Well, this would mean that the fifth and sixth seal would also have already been opened–which are mentioned in Revelation 6:7-17, and the 144,000 numbered as shown in Revelation 7. And I should add that the fifth seal of Revelation cannot possibly be opened for at least 3 1/2 years from now .
But also notice that somehow Wormwood makes water bitter.
This could be because it may be a comet as opposed to an asteroid. Comets tend to come with cyanogen gas–when that mixes with water to form hydrogen cyanide, it has an almond odor and bitter taste."
(NOTE: A comet may have hit the Earth over the ice sheet in Michigan as little as 12,800 years ago, melting vast amounts of water and sending it into the North Atlantic causing the Younger/Dryas return to a 1200 year cooling event. The Carolina Bays may be evidence of ice splatter from that impact on the ice sheet. This event may have been the cause for the extinction of the mega fauna roaming America as well as the Clovis culture .
Lidar images of the eliptical Carolina Bays all pointing SE to NW. There are over 500,000 of these in the Carolinas and not notably visible from the ground. But , along with the Nebraska Rainwater Basins, all point to a possible Comet impact or air burst over Saginaw Bay, Michigan. This hypothesis is currently gaining ground.
Bob continues...
"However, that does not mean that Wormwood could not be an asteroid. Some asteroids are bound to have substances that would be bitter in water.If Wormwood is a comet like Bernardinelli-Bernstein, it will cause massive destruction as the Bible foretells."
(NOTE: Massive destruction? Again... If a 62 mile wide asteroid hits Earth it will turn it into confetti Bob)
'Now, this does not mean that Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein will or must be the biblical Wormwood."(Note: Of course not. It's just a segway for Bob to make hyperbole filled Revelation mean what it never was meant to mean for us today)
Bob continues...
"But the fact that there is such a newly discovered large comet that is expected to come close within the next 10 years certainly shows that others may be out there."
(Note: May? Not familiar with the Asteroid Belt, Kuiper or Ort Cloud are you Bob? "The belt is estimated to contain between 1.1 and 1.9 million asteroids larger than 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) in diameter, and millions of smaller ones.)" in the Asteroid Belt alone. This does not include the even larger Kuiper Belt and Ort Cloud
My personal Baby Wormwood before slicing with burn crust from its 25,000 mph ride through the atmosphere. This is a Campo Del Cielo (Field of Heaven) meteorite that fell about 5000 years ago in Argentina and was found in the 1570's . It is a piece of the 60 tons found to date strewn over an 18 mile path.
Mere pounds of my own Baby Wormwood sliced to reveal it's Iron/Nickel self. This came from the core of a star or more likely the core of a small planet that was destroyed by collision in our early solar system formation.
Dr. Bob continues...
"And biblically, we know that one, called Wormwood, is out there and WILL HIT PLANET EARTH!
And, if we certain events occur that Jesus predicted in the next couple of years, that destruction may well be in or by 2031."
My little piece of 4.5 Billion Year Old Barringer Heaven
Asteroid Wormwood????
Pfffffft!
NOTE: Bible Stars were considered not far, not big, not hot and could fall like hail or snow.
A few scriptural misunderstandings of the natural world
Amos 8:9 9"In that day," declares the Sovereign LORD, "I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight.
NOTE: Hold onto your butts. Caution. Instant Earth acceleration and human extinction level event ahead.
And the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
And the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale.
“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 heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
For the stars of the heavens and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be dark at its rising, and the moon will not shed its light.
And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.
His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it.
All the host of heaven shall rot away, and the skies roll up like a scroll. All their host shall fall, as leaves fall from the vine, like leaves falling from the fig tree.
The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
It grew great, even to the host of heaven. And some of the host and some of the stars it threw down to the ground and trampled on them.
