Meteorite Strikes Russia
Signs and Wonders in the Heavens
Thursday,
February 14, 2013 a ten ton fiery meteor about the size of a SUV blazed across
the Russian sky over the Ural Mountains after sunrise, part of which went on to
strike a frozen lake. Early AP reports
say that upwards of 1,000 people were injured by broken glass and debris as a
result of the “blast wave” that occurred after the meteor exploded in the
sky. Note: In 1908 a comet fragment 100
meters in diameter exploded above Tunguska, Siberia flattening 2,000
square-kilometers of forest.
The
Russian meteor strike appears to be unrelated to the February 15, 2013 asteroid
(DA14) which is half the size of a football field, and large enough to destroy
a city. This asteroid is expected to
come within 17,000 miles of earth, passing within the ring of satellites that
surround Earth. Then sometime between
Thanksgiving and the end of the year Comet Ison will come into the solar system
to round the sun. As it grazes the sun
it will no doubt break up to some degree and as a result dramatically increase
in brightness. Some astronomers expect
that it might get even brighter than the moon and be seen during daylight hours
crossing the sky. Astronomers know that our planet exists in a cosmic shooting
gallery of objects that could strike the Earth and cause major
catastrophes. Are these events occurring
in a relatively short period of time coincidental or is something else going on? Do these signs and wonders speak of events
foretold in the Bible?
Few
people know that the Bible contains a virtual textbook of information about
cosmic activity including descriptions of impacts in the atmosphere, on land,
or in the ocean. Several noted
astronomers, geologists and
geophysicists have made convincing arguments that several of the catastrophes
in the Old Testament (including Sodom & Gomorrah and the Exodus plagues) and Revelation’s prophecies are descriptions of cosmic activity. We now know that cosmic impacts can cause
great earthquakes and towering tsunami. However,
long before scientists came to learn about atmospheric roll back after cosmic
impacts, comets carrying cyanide, and the Oort cloud of Comets that surrounds
the solar system, the Bible clearly described these technical astronomical and
geological phenomena.
Most recently NASA’s Deep Impact
spacecraft while tracking Comet Hartley 2 took photos of hailstones the size of
basketballs, weighing upwards of 100 pounds.
NASA scientists said that “We’ve never seen anything like this before”
and that “This is a genuinely a new phenomenon.” http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/18nov_cometsnowstorm/
Yet, this is not a new phenomenon to those who study the Bible. The Bible talks about the existence of great
hailstones weighing upwards of 100 pounds in Revelation 16:21 (also see Joshua
10:5-24 and Exodus 9:18-26). See “Data from Comet Hartley Continues to Support
the Bible” http://christiannewswire.com/news/4010715546.html
