According to Revelation 8:11-12, "11 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, and burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountain of waters;12 And 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"
It is the wrath of God at the third trumpt; apparently this "star" will hit the earth, and when it hits, some of the waters on earth will become fatally toxic to those who drink it.

Plainly; it will be a asteroid at a comet that will pass closely by the earth.
This happened before, during the Exodus in 1485 BC, that caused most of the disasters that happened then.
But this time round, we need not be too concerned about Wormwood, Revelation 8:10-11 It will happen as part of the Great Tribulation, that will be directed toward those who have taken the 'mark of the beast', Revelation 9:4
The GT is only for the final 3 1/2 years before Jesus Returns.
All the Christians who have stood firm in their faith will be taken to a place of safety for that 1260 days. Revelation 12:14
Then at the Return, they will be gathered to where He is; in Jerusalem. Matthew 24:30-31
What we all should be concerned about and prepared for is the Sixth Seal event, the next prophesied event to happen. It will be triggered by the Islamic peoples commencing an attack on Israel. We can see how close we are to this now!
The great and terrible Day of the Lord's fiery wrath will change the world and commence the lead up to Jesus' Return, about 15-20 years later. Revelation 8:1
On that Day, a literal 24 hour day; we must take shelter from the heat, storms, tsunamis and earthquakes. Isaiah 26:20-21

There is another interstellar "comet" entering our solar system. Oumuamua was just floating by, Boris is coming in like a torpedo.
I don't worry much about it, but the asteroids in it's tail.. very interesting.

Originally I thought Fukishema might have been Wormwood. It's still chugging out it's poison, the waste water is dumped into the Pacific. Travels north into Alaska and hits the glaciers, where most fresh water comes from. It will take a few decades, but definately will be affecting things forever. They can't contain it or stop it.
Interesting subject for sure.

such foolish speculation only ensures the signification described in the first verse of the first chapter of Revelation (KJV) is missed altogether.
There's no reason to believe God can't throw a "star" at earth that earth-dwellers can't detect, whether it moves too fast or from an area outside the view of the monitoring equipment (satellites and telescopes) at that time.
Wasn't one of the recent interstellar objects completely missed by tracking equipment until it was either too close or just passed by? I can't remember the specifics - I'll run a quick search and verify if I remembered correctly.
It wasn't in interstellar object, it was an asteroid, and it was Asteroid 2019 OK. Another asteroid, 2017 AG13, apparently blew by without sufficient notice due to its size.
In any case, the "star" Wormwood will not destroy all life on Earth. There are more trumpets to sound, and the 7 vials to be poured out.

It has confused me, everyone looking for the 6th trump, and Wormwood being the third.
Does that mean it's going to get much worse.. yes.
Stay strong in our Father.
Might still have time to become a prepper. Lol. (Don't think it's a bad idea actually)

It has only been hours since I heard a sermon that declared that Chernobyl translated into English is Wormwood. I don't know enough about it to have formed an opinion.

it's not talking about 'stars' as in matter in the universe.....if that is missed lord knows how sense of any significance can be made of the other things Revelation speaks of or should I say signifies!
How do you know that trumpet's wrath is not a comet or asteroid though? Why are you placing a limit on what God can do? I'm not saying my interpretation is right (a literal interpretation), but it could be, or it could be wrong.
Wasn't Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by fire from Heaven. Why can't God, either Himself or an angel of His, send a comet or asteroid to hit earth, and be small enough to not wipe out all life, yet large enough to destroy "many"? Perhaps that "star" will hit a nuclear plant, thus releasing radiation into the water (cooling water from the towers)?
Do you have an interpretation of what that trumpet is, except that it is not a physical "star" (comet or asteroid)?

I think its to do with the spiritual battle. These calamities (however they manifest) are the result of worshipping the works of ones hands as the scripture points out. It will not effect those who have the seal of God, so the matter is to do with the worship factor and the resultant plagues connected. They are not arbitrary but the intrinsic result of the choice of allegiance. The bitter fruit (wormwood) of ones choices.

Interesting. Many becoming sick and dieing is in my imagination a one time deal. But if radioactive isotopes polute the waters for generations it could result in many cancer deaths, but they may not be correctly attributed to the meltdown.

If we use this interpretation what would the fountain of waters and the rivers symbolise?
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown, on April 26, 2011, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visited the Star of Wormwood Memorial dedicated to the "liquidators" (first responders) to the accident.
Is it merely a coincidence that the name of the memorial complex remembering those that died fighting the nuclear fires of Chernobyl is the exact same name of the fallen star called Wormwood referred to in the third trumpet prophecy of Revelation 8? There is a statue now standing on the site, an enormous angel blowing a trumpet!
Good to see you, Stan.
God bless!
I believe they are not symbolic but include one-third of all the fresh water sources on earth. This will be a literal poisoning of drinking water as a judgment bringing death to multitudes.

This is what happens when literalist attempt to interpret Scripture, they’re always trying to force a literal interpretation on everything including those things which have been clearly designated as a symbolic in nature i.e. the Book of Revelation, a symbolic prophecy.
Personally I believe most literalist (Not all) to be “natural men”, and as such being limited to the natural man’s ability to comprehend, they have little choice but to attempt to force a literal interpretation upon most of what they read.

Yes, Revelations is highly symbolic.
The book of Daniel is much the same way. It was prophetic for the end the KoG with the Jews. Therefore, Daniel is to be only read as a refrerence to Revelation, and not a continuation.
