FINAL WARNING: The Curtain Falls
In 1937, an asteroid, called Hermes, which was over a mile in diameter,
approached the Earth. Scientists plotting its course thought it might
hit the planet, but it only came within a million miles, then veered
away. They estimated that if it would have hit an ocean, at its speed of
1,800 mph, it would have generated a tidal wave big enough to destroy
all nearby coastal cities. Icarus (discovered in 1949), the closest
asteroid to the sun, comes dangerously close to the Earth during its
orbit around the sun. American geologist Dr. Robert Dietz said that if
the asteroid, which is a 1/2 mile in diameter, would ever hit the Earth,
its impact would be equivalent to that of a 200-million megaton atomic
blast, which would sink islands, initiate earthquakes, disrupt the
earth’s magnetic field, and maybe knock it off its axis. Another
asteroid, Toro (discovered in 1964), over three miles in diameter, also
comes close to this planet during its orbit between Venus and the
Earth.
In the end, the futile attempt at Armageddon will be in vain, and the
combatants will be destroyed within a day (Rev. 18:8). Ezekiel 39:8
says: “Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the
day whereof I have spoken.” Ezekiel specifically points out that 5/6’s of
the Soviet Army is destroyed (39:2). For some reason God’s wrath is
aimed more at them, as far as invading forces, possibly because of
what they have done in their past. Or maybe it’s because they got there
first, since no one else is mentioned. At any rate, the carnage will be
so great, that God will command the birds to the area to feast on the
flesh of the fallen (Ezekiel 39:4). It will take seven months to bury the
dead (39:12). It will take seven years to burn the weapons (39:9).
It was reported a few years ago that Russia was producing war
equipment out of a substance invented in the Netherlands, known as
‘Lignostone,’ which is a compressed laminated wood that is actually
five-times harder than solid wood, yet has twice the elasticity. Since it
is wood, and not metal, it doesn’t show up on radar. The British are
said to be using a similar substance for the gears in their large
vehicles. The synthetic resin used to bond the layers of wood together
under high pressure burns brightly with intense heat, thus making it
easier for the weapons to be burned.
This is another one of those pesky little end-time rumors that seem to
