The first destruction will come by water (The Flood), the next destruction will come by fire.

If it had hit Detroit, it would have caused millions of dollars worth of improvements.

It is an asteroid. It would have become a meteor if it entered the earths atmosphere. Then a meteorite if it impacted earth

Some Bible scholars believe that most of the things in
Revelation HAVE already happened. WWI saw a huge area of
“No Man’s Land” where every tree and blade of grass was
devastated. - WWII saw the atomic bomb dropped and the
“huge mountain burning with fire” coming to pass. - WWIII
is prophesied to see a HUGE number of people killed in the
Battle of Armageddon (blood up to the horses’ bridles).
Some think that modern armaments, helicopters and such are
described in Revelation in the best way a person of that
era could describe them. - There are more things to come &
we can see them lining up every day. MARANATHA!

The first destruction will come by water (The Flood), the next destruction will come by fire.

"The asteroid is called 2016 QA2, and it missed the Earth by less than a quarter of the distance to the moon. That puts it about three times as far away from Earth as our farthest satellites. And we never saw it coming."

When considering Celestial bodies and distances that is like a missile missing your home by flying in the space between the street in front of your house and the your front door.

Luckily its only 130 feet across.

[xzins]

one third is also one out of three plants, or species, etc.

if the sun or moon turning to blood is referring to its appearance color, then the same could be true of water.

My luck, it’ll land on my roof.

Darn, a hit could have saved us from having to decide to vote for Hillary or Trump!
