Interesting that the meteorite landed in Chelyabinsk, a region even more polluted than Chernobyl.
BTW, In the Ukrainian Language of the NIV Bible, The star in Revelation that falls from heaven, called “Wormwood”, is translated to “Chernobyl”. Here is the verse:
“The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many died from the water, because it was made bitter.” (Revelation 8:1011,
Just sayin’.
Omens. We haz them.
I take it as a sign that NASA should stop studying the earth and get back into the exploration, pathfinding, and prospecting business.
Putin buying 570 tons of gold last week had nothing to do with what might be happening .. move along folks
sure would like the name and video of that scientist yesterday laughing off the possibility of smaller meteors in a shower traveling with the asteroid headed our way
Not according to Google translate.
Can that be interpreted as to where the zombie apocalypse is supposed to start?
Must quibble...
“Chernobyl” does not translate as Wormwood. “Chernobyl” translates as “Mugwort”.
Mugwort and Wormwood are plants of the same family (Artemisia), but are named Artemisia absinthium and Artemisia vulgaris, respectively.
Chelyabinsk used to be call “tankograd”. Majority of Soviet army armor was manufactured there during last half of WWII.
That’s what I thought of when I first saw this story last night. And this:
Luke 21:25-36
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
people also mentioned this point when a far, far more devastating event took place there in 1986.
