The First Woe: Asteroid Collides With Earth

O earth! God did not create you for this!
The First Great Woe of His wrath is so near;
Nothing can hide you---the deepest abyss,
Nor the highest peak that mountains can rear!
The target is fixed---O beautiful isles---
Haiwaii! Better you had never been!
The great hurtling asteroid's guiding dials,
Pre-set, does its deadly journey begin!
The second trumpet is ready to blow;
All eyes are fixed upon the throne of God;
No one dares break the silence of the room;
All that's needed now is one divine nod
To unleash the havoc of this world's doom!
It is not too late! If we'd all repent!
Scripture says, though, that we will not relent!

The world will know the 7-year period called the Great Tribulation has begun when a huge asteroid or comet collides with the earth in the northeast Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and Alaska; no sign of those prophesied by Jesus is left unfulfilled; it could happen at any time now. What irony! The nation established on Godly principles by Godly forefathers; the nation that led all others in sending missionaries to an ungodly world carrying the gospel---the United States, will be the first to be destroyed by the Wrath of God in His destruction of a world that largely rejected Him. Is it any wonder? Does anyone dare question why God would choose America as Target No. 1, when we have so quickly fallen away from Him; expelled Him from our schools; made it illegal to display Manger scenes of the birth of Christ; kill almost 2 million unborn babies a year; and state by state, allow same-sex marriages to be legalized?

"The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain ablaze, was thrown into the sea." (Revelation 8:8)

After the seventh seal was broken in Revelation Chapter 7, seven more angels with trumpets came forth ready to sound them at the signal. With each trumpet blast an additional incentive from God is to be dropped upon the earth. Following the seven trumplet blasts there will be seven bowls, or vials, dropped on the earth. Instead of 14 separate disasters, it is probably better to interpet all the destruction as three great woes (See Revelation 8:13), accompanied by many side effects. For example, the collision with the asteroid generated tectonic plate shocks around the earth, tsunami-waves in cycles (some a mile high), a fusillade of meteor showers, red tides, floods, poisoned springs and rivers, etc.

It is estimated that approximately one third of the people on earth will die as a result of this collision and its side effects. All nations on the rim of the Pacific Ocean will be destroyed or seriously impaired. I am indebted to William Brehm, Bread Upon The Waters Ministry, at be-ready.org for much Biblical interpretation contained in these blogs related to the Tribulation.

According to the Bible, when the Tribulation begins, the date of Jesus Christ's return to earth will be approximately 7 years from the first event. The world as we know it now does not have long to exist, if this prophecy comes true. I might add that no Bible prophecy has ever been false. Hundreds have happened exactly as foretold---not one has ever failed.
