Bible prophecy coming true?

lostbook
Here's something interesting I noticed while on Space.com. There's a Russian satellite about to crash down to Earth in about a week. What's interesting about it in these strange times is this prophecy from the bible:

Rev 8:10-11 "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."

I've always assumed that Wormwood would be an Asteroid or a Comet but this makes me wonder if this Russian satellite crash will be the real Wormwood.

I think Cayce has a similiar prediction but I can't find it. Anyway, what say you, ATS?

The answer would be no. The reason is that the events ahead of that one in Revelation haven't occurred yet. Wormwood is the 3rd trumpet. These events occur before it.

Revelation 8
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

I think we would know if verses 5, 7, and 8 had occurred already.

No. The writers of the bible didn't know about satellites. The only thing that flew in those days were birds .

Bit of an overstatement no ?

Shush now. Do not cloud the issue with facts. It takes all the fun out of it for the zealots.

Like what? Describe one event that has come true that was foretold in that book.

Was god ambiguous about his promises. I don't remember hearing that you guys could change this through prayer or good works . It seems to me it's pretty concrete and he's not giving you a way out . You're doomed and your god won't save you.

They don't crash all the time but every one that went up will eventually come down. That's a fact. The news does let us know each time one is scheduled to fall. No secrets.

Here's the thing though.

With respect to prophecy, particularly Biblical prophecy, what will be will be. I think we get into dangerous territory when we talk about trying to avert it. I suppose maybe I've also read a few too many fantasy novels dealing with the subject also, but if you try to avert a prophecy, how can you know for sure that what you are doing isn't only helping to bring it about?

No, in the end, I watch, try to keep myself on the right side of God, try to keep my family on the right side of God, call things as I see them and go on with my life because while I think I see things coming to pass, it does say that we will not know for sure when it will all come to pass.

I'd sure hate to bunker up and find out that the earth-shattering kaboom I was so sure was going to come to pass really didn't ...

So you would rather bunk down then come out and find mankind dead? You the only survivor?

Chernobyl is Russian for Wormwood.

Watch for Fukushima... there's talk about thousands of rods being lost into the ground under the old damaged plant. If they hit water... they will pollute and could create a massive explosion from steam pressure, hurling them into the sea.

Just one possibility...
