"If the asteroid Apophis is wormwood spoken about in Revelation 8-11, does that mean the nations of the world will be converging around a one world government soon?"
If you read the “Left Behind” books or watch the movies, you’ll notice there is a secret Rapture and then the Antichrist suddenly ascend to power ready to assail you. That’s not how it works.
The “Left Behind” books were written by a fiction author named Jerry B. Jenkins. Jenkins doesn’t claim to know the Bible very well.
The Bible and the world work differently.
The Evil End Time's Players:
Beast AKA Antichrist
False Prophet (Pope Francis?)
Gog (Barak Obama?) buried in Israel (earth born)
12 ft. King Angel of the Abyss (5th Trumpet, 1st Woe, Rev 9)
9 foot tall Horse-like locusts from Abyss, outfitted for battle with gold crowns and human faces, women’s hair, lion’s teeth, chests like iron breastplates, roaring wing sounds, and scorpion tails with stingers.
200,000,000 Cavalry soldiers (6th Trumpet, 2nd Woe, Rev 9)
Illuminati (the unseen human leaders) Wicked humans wearing Mark 666 (Rev 13)
10 Big Tech Horns, Satan & His Fallen Angels!
The progression:
The Four Horsemen come first, resembling Birth Pangs from Matthew 24. Look around you. The world is convulsing like its getting ready for a birth. The Four Horsemen are part of the Seven Seals, the first judgments in Revelation.
If my biblical theories are correct, the first Seal of Revelation opened years ago in 1967, as the Spirit of a Destroyer was unleashed against Western civilization. The first Seal sign was White and a Bow, a symbol of man's strength, being bent(!) like Jeremiah 51:1-3 states, with no arrows, as in no prodigy, and a cheap stephanos crown. (Revelation 6:1-2)
The Second seal opened 9-11-2001, and commenced with the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars, east of Jerusalem, in 2001–3. The Second Seal Sign is Red and War, with a standard Machaira (Greek-Strong’s #3162) short sword. This begat a never-ending war against Muslim tribes. Only the Messiah can end it.
When he broke the second seal [9-11-2001], I heard the second living being say, “Go!” Another horse went out, a red one; and its rider was given the power to take peace away from the earth and make people slaughter each other [commencing in 2003]. He was given a great sword [Greek: Makh-ahee-rah, for close-quarter killing]. Revelation 6:3-4 (CJB)
The Third Seal of Revelation opened during the summer of 2012, just prior to Hurricane Sandy, the divided election, and a second storm on the eighth day of a False Jewish Festival resembling Sukkot (prophesied by one man, and another man interpreted 1 Kings 12 as the meaning-Two Witnesses). The Third Seal sign will be high food prices—beginning north of Jerusalem—which should skyrocket this year for poor people’s food, wheat and barley (for animals). However, the wealthy will only be concerned about their oil and wine prices, because they don’t care about the poor.
When he broke the third seal [summer 2012], I heard the third living being say, “Go!” I looked, and there in front of me was a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales. Then I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living beings say, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages! Six pounds of barley for the same price! But don’t damage the oil or the wine!” Revelation 5-6 (CJB) (expect 33% food inflation this fall)
The Fourth Seal seems to have opened, warning us that a Green (death) southern horde will bring us 1.94 billion deaths via War by a Supernatural Rhomphaia (Greek-Strong’s #4501) long sword, disease, famine, and beastly microscopic animal (Therion-Biological Warfare) attacks.
When he broke the fourth seal [coming soon], I heard the voice of the fourth living being say, “Go!” I looked, and there in front of me was a pallid [green], sickly-looking horse. Its rider’s name was Death, and Sh’ol followed behind him. They were given authority to kill [(by the Sword) Greek: Rhomphaia, long discerning sword used by a horseman] one-quarter [1.75 billion people will die] of the world by war, by famine, by plagues and with the wild [microbes inciting people] animals [Read: Biological Warfare/Zombies] of the earth. Revelation 6:7-8 (CJB)
The next player to assault us is the False Prophet. Most think he is Pope Francis. He will foment creating a totalitarian state with ten Big Tech Kings enforcing his edicts. Increasing asteroid devastation will occur during his reign as we convulse toward a one world government. Apophis is due just after the mid-point of the False Prophet’s reign.
You won’t notice the final one world government and the Antichrist until the mid-point of the final seven years.
We are over seven years away from most of this mess. It could be ten to twenty years away too.
Shalom!
