We've found the biggies but the numbers are huge... even small ones would be devastating. This bombardment is how planets form. Remember Schumacher Levi 9 in the 90s? Thankfully for us...jupiter has hoovered up more than its share. Just says the solar system is not the finished article. We had many hit is in the past though..our surface is more dynamic than the moon... check the hits there. Don't know why we need to add God influencing or allowing... how to show causation... we have nothing beyond physical laws at work. If we're due a big impact let us hope it's far enough in our future we can do something to stop it hitting by then. On the shape...asteroid shape isn't unduely influenced by gravity... in that they aren't big like planets so wouldn't need to be spherical. Lots don't look like anything.. it's seeing shapes in clouds. Maybe this will miss and in 100 years one that looks like a teddy bear will hit☺ I agree on what you said about meteors. They are definitely out there and have hit us before. it will happen again. As for why God is brought into the subject.... Revelation 8 KJV 10And 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; 11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. 12And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

The rock of 2032 will impact earth and split her in half. Odds are against it but Revelation 8 verse 12 comes true and earth moves faster maken days shorter and the years the odds, well, no odds it will happen.

Of course ancient people would have observed asteroids and meteors same as we do now. Minus the angel bit... we don't attribute that now. How do you interpret the 2nd paragraph ?

I don't think I will worry overly much about it though; it won't hit us unless the Lord allows it. https://www.yahoo.com/news/incredibly-creepy-skull-shaped-asteroid-going-cruise-earth-152944797.html 1) Its from bgr, which is hyped click bait site. 2) Thats not even how it looks. That is an artist rendering and not the actual image nor is it an accurate depiction. 3) This year other asteroids have come much closer than this thing is expected to do. Its coming to 15 or so lunar distances. We had some this year that came within the orbit of the moon and didnt get the hype this one is. Avoid bgr. Its fake click bait.

I interpret that passage to mean artificial winter brought on by the asteroid/meteor creating massive amounts of debris that hangs in the atmosphere for a time. Much as scientists believe happened sixty five million years ago when the asteroid hit the Yucatan Peninsula. I'm sure others may interpret it differently.

I initially read into it starting to talk about coronal mass ejections from the sun but the rest doesn't follow or make sense. This is the problem when things are so non specific vague. I'm kinda with you on passage 1. The trouble is we're reading what we know back into this... it's kinda leading the evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It IS somewhat vague but we have to remember the authors of the Bible didn't have the knowledge of the natural world that we have today and they expressed themselves differently than people do now. I read Scripture by reading it, standing back and considering the entirety of the Book I am reading, and doing my best to see it that way. It takes practice and sometimes takes reading the same material multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't take in the general cosmology that was believed at the time I don't think we can get the real context of what's being said... Flat earth would be a good example of this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our sun/star controls how earth flies, spins, weather, ect. Ezekiel's Wheels. Now earth is slowing, ice caps move down cold weather. As Christ has said if He don't speed earth all prophecy of the end will fail and earth also, we won't make it to the end and all will be lost. Now if you don't see the stars as much, moon, and others as the verse states. Its simple earth spins faster as Christ has said and that Angel under Christ controls the sun same as the bible says. Now more prophecy when the speed up happens earth will be a mess, warm air will invade the ice poles, melt but that's not all plenty more. Weather, expect winds also step up, tornatos will sweep the planet. Do you see truth in Revelations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
