Mammoth Asteroid Heading Toward Earth?

I'm going to guess that all of us have seen one of the many movies in the past 10 years that address the subject of a massive asteroid colliding with earth and killing almost everyone.  I can think of the move ARMAGEDDON staring Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck.  I know there was another called FINAL IMPACT, but there have been many more.

So is earth actually being prepared for the reality that a really big asteroid is coming?  Is the Prince of this earth going to attempt to set up defenses against what the Bible says will one day happen?

Revelation 8
The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood,

Hmmmmm.....something like a huge burning mountain thrown into the sea???  Sounds like a massive asteroid to me that will happen in the very last days.

NASA's Attempt to Redirect Mammoth Asteroid Headed for Earth Has End-of-Days Implications

A colossal asteroid named Apophis is predicted to pass disturbingly close to Earth before 2030, an ominous astral event which Jewish mystical sources describe as having grave implications for the End of Days.

On April 13, 2029, the Apophis asteroid, portentously named for the ancient Egyptian god of darkness and destruction, will pass within 18,600 miles of Earth, uncomfortably close by space distance standards. At 350 meters across, a mass of 20 million metric tons, and travelling 28,000 miles per hour, Apophis poses a formidable risk to the planet.

Rabbi Yosef Berger, the rabbi of King David’s Tomb on Mount Zion, notes that all this concern about celestial activity is described in Jewish sources as accompanying the Messiah.

I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not nigh; there shall step forth a star out of Yakov, and a scepter shall rise out of Yisrael, and shall smite through the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of Seth. Numbers 24:17

“This Biblical reference to a star that will accompany the Messiah was expanded in Maimonides and the Zohar to include many other astrological phenomenon described in great detail,” Rabbi Berger told Breaking Israel News.

Rabbi Berger explained that astrological events pose a specific End-of-Days challenge for all of mankind.

“The Tower of Babel was built as a challenge to God when the flood of Noah’s generation was still fresh in the people’s minds,” the rabbi said. “It was an attempt to prove that God, via nature, did not rule over man. These events also will lead men to try to prove that they are above nature and God, and that they rule themselves.”

If Apophis hits Earth, it could create an explosion equal to 880 million tons of TNT, creating a crater about 1.25 miles across and almost 1,700 feet deep. Such an impact would be devastating. Though scientists believe there is little chance Apophis will hit earth on this pass, they expect the near-miss to disrupt the asteroid’s orbit, making its next pass in 2036 unpredictable.

In response to the growing threat of the pending asteroid hit, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced last Friday that they will launch a probe to alter the trajectory of a small asteroid as it approaches Earth as a first attempt at planetary defense. The project is named the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), scheduled to take place in October, 2022 coinciding with two smaller asteroids that are predicted to make a close pass to Earth.

“DART would be NASA’s first mission to demonstrate what’s known as the kinetic impactor technique — striking the asteroid to shift its orbit — to defend against a potential future asteroid impact,” said Lindley Johnson, NASA’s planetary defense officer in Washington, in the press release announcing the project.

The hope is that with the amount of time between the DART test and the looming danger of Apophis, NASA will find a way to circumvent the asteroid to protect Earth from tremendous carnage.

Wow!!  A 1700 foot deep crater over a mile across!!  That could certainly ruin a lot of people's days!!

Think about this:  Satan KNOWS that God's Word and prophecy can't be broken.  He KNOWS that what God has said will happen will eventually happen.  He has nothing to lose and everything to gain IF he can break God's prophetic word and then stand back and claim God is a liar...so the Prince of the Earth is going to stay focused on prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled....and one of them is a massive asteroid!!

So Satan may in fact be behind NASA's attempt to start to put their technology and resources into coming up with ways to prevent any asteroids from slamming into earth.

This article sounds almost exactly like the plot of the ARMAGEDDON movie staring Bruce Willis that I mentioned earlier.  In the movie, NASA sent up some oil drillers to land on the asteroid and drill a hole into it and then exploded a nuclear weapon in it to knock it's trajectory away from planet earth.

Let's continue to watch for more and more articles coming out warning about asteroids colliding with earth....cuz Satan knows it's coming.

Thankfully for those of us who follow Christ, we know we won't be here to witness this calamity.
