An asteroid hit Earth

Government told that it won't hit Earth but it did.

Thank god, there were no reports of fatalities.

I don't think it was the meteor that hit in Russia that we were told wouldn't hit the earth, it was an asteroid.

The asteroid will not hit the earth, but will be close, passing by at a distance about 1/13th of the distance from the earth to the moon.

Hundreds reportedly injured by blasts as meteor falls in Russia
http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013...er-meteorite-falls-in-russia-ural-mountains/#

A meteor streaked across the sky above Russia's Ural Mountains on Friday morning, causing sharp explosions and injuring more than 500 people, many of them hurt by broken glass.

"There was panic. People had no idea what was happening. Everyone was going around to people's houses to check if they were OK," said Sergey Hametov, a resident of Chelyabinsk, about 930 miles east of Moscow, the biggest city in the affected region.

"We saw a big burst of light then went outside to see what it was and we heard a really loud thundering sound," he told The Associated Press by telephone.

Another Chelyabinsk resident, Valya Kazakov, said some elderly women in his neighborhood started crying out that the world was ending.

Some meteorites -- fragments of the meteor -- fell in a reservoir outside the town of Cherbakul, the regional governor's office said, according to the ITAR-Tass news agency. It was not immediately clear if any people were struck by fragments.
 
I don't know what's going on but it's all over the news.

Still waiting for outside confirmation on this.
 
Perspective clarifies things. Here we are nearly 30 hours later, and we know it was a meteor, and it blew up in the atmosphere. A pretty good sized chunk left over from the explosion hit a frozen lake and left a pretty good sized ice-fishing hole. There were over a thousand people injured, mostly from the concussion of the blast blowing out windows, doors and causing instant earthquake like conditions. No fatalities reported.

Not germane. The passage deals with the final days of the Tribulation before the return of Christ. The previous five verses read ...
Luke 21 NASB
20 "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.
21 "Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city;
22 because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled.
23 "Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people;
24 and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
​
Then v. 27 speaks specifically about the Second Coming. This meteor is best fit among the "terrors and great signs from heaven" in v. 11. We are not at the time of Rapture and Tribulation to follow just yet, but we grow close.

Germane? Relevant to a subject under consideration: "that is not germane to our theme".

It could be. Especially when we consider that such events may be likened to a woman in travail. The "pangs" start then increase in frequency and duration; as the time approaches, they get stronger. Jesus' foretelling of these birth pangs used the word "sorrows," in His Olivet Discourse on end time things to come (see Mt 24:3-7,8 see also: Luke 21:8-11 Mark 13:37 Luk. 21:25-26,27-28 Luke 17:26 Daniel 12:4).

No, I'm not saying these things have come to pass, but only that we are commanded to watch (Mark 13:32-33).

Of course it didn't. That's why it damaged 3,000 buildings and injured 1,500 people.

It did so because it burst mid air and the blast wave of that burst caused all the damage. The injuries were mostly from broken glass.

The pieces that actually touched down where the size of pebbles. Most of the meteorite was vaporised during it's journey through the atmosphere and it's explosion.

I was being facetious.
 
I know you people mean well, but PUH-LEASE!

One meteorite is not the sign of end times or Christ's return.
If we start seeing this happen on a regular basis, I'd change my attitude.

But at this point, while very interesting - it's all a big 'yawn' to me. An interesting scientific event, but also, just a distraction.
While it WAS a pretty good 'boom', this was NOTHING, folks! It disintegrated well above the ground and pales in comparison to the last such event, 104 years ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event

It was just a piece of debris that ended up on a collision course with the earth. PLEASE stop acting like people from the middle ages. So a few thousand pounds of rock came outta the sky? Who cares?????

If God wants to show us a 'sign', there will be no doubt that He is speaking.
