But if it does hit us let's watch the survivors get angry at Christians for the God they don't believe in causing the calamity.
The history of the asteroid's name.
In some retellings of his legend, Apophis was actually a former sun god, who was pushed aside when Ra came onto the stage. Ra and Apophis are therefore constantly fighting, since Apophis does not want him to succeed in his task of bringing the dawn every day.
Some stories, probably later Roman retellings, describe Apophis as an enormous golden snakes that was miles long, and who tried to swallow the sun every night as Ra traversed the underworld.
Apophis is certainly one of the few Egyptian gods to always be shown with a monstrous form.

Apophis
Who Is Apophis?
Apophis has quite the reputation. He’s known as the god of evil, chaos, darkness and destruction.In some retellings of his legend, Apophis was actually a former sun god, who was pushed aside when Ra came onto the stage. Ra and Apophis are therefore constantly fighting, since Apophis does not want him to succeed in his task of bringing the dawn every day.
Appearance
Apophis is literally a giant snake, which is why he had nicknames such as “evil lizard” or “serpent from the Nile”. There have been some stories about the details of his appearance. For example, there are legends that say his body is 50 feet (nearly 15 meters) long. Other stories say that his head is made of flint, a type of hard and sharp stone. Apophis’ other name, Apep, probably derives from another Egyptian word that means “to slither”. It can also refer to the word for being spat out, which would be appropriate given that Apophis is known for being shunned and pushed aside.Some stories, probably later Roman retellings, describe Apophis as an enormous golden snakes that was miles long, and who tried to swallow the sun every night as Ra traversed the underworld.

The devil plays both sides of the Egyptian god theology. Ra, to steal glory from the true God. And Apophis, to glorify himself.The history of the asteroid's name.

The Earth has to last at least until Jesus returns to fight for Israel.
Zechariah 14:1-5
1 Behold, a day is coming for the LORD when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you.
2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.
3 Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle.
4 In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south.
5 You will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with Him!
