ARCHIVE 2015 – Nine years ago, I drew this cartoon when the national debt was only $18 trillion. Congress doubled the debt in less than a decade. It took 40 presidents and 224 years for America’s government to accumulate $5 trillion in debt. Since the year 2000, Congress has overspent by $31 trillion.
Speaking of asteroids hitting the earth, did you know that the Bible prophesies that this will happen in the future? Continue reading.
THE FIRST 4 TRUMPET JUDGMENTS
According to D.A. Carson, the Bible mentions the “Wrath of God” over 600 times. The purpose of God’s Wrath is to lead people to repent of their sin. Noah was a preacher of righteousness (2 Peter 2:5) and warned people about God’s wrath for 120 years while building the ark but only 8 people were saved from the flood. Lot was warned about God’s wrath before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah but only 4 people were rescued.
Recently, I was reminded of God’s wrath while researching an asteroid named Apophis.
During the 7-year Tribulation period also referred to as the 70th week of Daniel 9 and “The time of Jacob’s distress” in Jeremiah 30:7. The Book of Revelation chapters 4-19 describes God’s wrath in which the 7 Seal judgments, 7 Trumpet judgments and 7 Bowl judgments are poured out on the inhabitants of the earth.
Revelation 8 describes the first 4 Trumpets judgments.
Verse 7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
This is not a spiritual metaphor, it will be an actual physical event that sounds like the impact of an asteroid hitting earth.
Notice in verse 8, “something like a huge mountain all ablaze.” It doesn’t just fall, it is “thrown” into the sea. An asteroid entering the atmosphere traveling 10 miles-a-second would cause a blazing fire. As it breaks into our atmosphere, pieces of it would break apart and shower fiery meteors down on earth. The result of the impact is death of a third of the earth trees, grass will be burned up. A third of the ships on earth will be destroyed, a third of the living creatures in the sea will die and the sea will be turned to blood.
Since 2004, scientists have been tracking an asteroid through space that fits this Biblical description.
