is that the word cherylnobl as the nuke meltdown in Russia?

that was bad but not that bad!
When the waters of the world is polluted by a 1/3 from nuclear radiation,then that will be the completion of that prophecy.
 
so let me guess correctly you are against nuke power plants? i live near one.

That the verse you are interpreting isn't literal, lol. ;) ;) ;)
I know it is not literal, because the word "star" is parabolic for "men or a man." Who invented the nuclear bomb thereby becoming an angel of death? Revelation 9:1
The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. These things are in the process of being fufilled.

How can it be clean energy with the huge cost and mess it makes. There are things the public is not told. You can figure it out!
 
i know far more about than you think, is it perfect no, but it is an option. could our navy be as efficient as it is now with out nuke reactors,? think about if we the old boiler power ships and diesel powered subs.
the navy vessels exchange the cores evry five years verses the power ones every 25 yrs.
my boss worked on all the nuke plants in the u.s. the amount of radation you describe to do that to the water would kill most or all life. i'm no nuclear physicist, but not even lead stops all the radiation that gamma radiation that is emited from the nuclear reactor, the walls just reduce the amount of radiation to a safe level that human body can take.

the fallout from the a nuclear blast is beta and aplha radiation is simply blocked by clothing and or skin, gamma is the killer along with the neutron radiation that is emmited from ground zero that will remain radioactive for years to come after the blast. look at hiroshoma and nagasaki to see that, or white sands missile range or any other nuke test facility.

there's no protection from the neutron radiation, if you are in that area upon impact your already dead, go in there to ground zero you will wish you were dead.
 
Rev 3:3
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
(KJV)

If we are not watching, we won't know the hour. If we are... watching, then we will know the hour, which is really pointing to the 'seasons' and 'the times' Paul spoke of in 1 Thess.5, and the 7 signs in Matt.24 which parallel the 7 seals of Rev.6. God's two witnesses being killed in Jerusalem will be the closest sign.

When the Two Witnesses are killed we will be down to the last half hour. If a day is like a thousand years, then a hour is equal to about 42 years, and a half hour 21 years.
 
Sorry, I don't believe in treating EVERY prophecy with the days=years idea. If we did that with all Scripture, then it would mean Christ's Resurrection would take 3 years instead of 3 days as written.

I think your over thinking this one,,,the time here should be takin at face value....

I agree,,, when the 2 witts are killed people will have about 3 days to repent and get right.....When the 2 witts rise,,,and ascend people will have a matter of minutes,,,,funny how we have event after event that in my eyes would make one stay awake and watch,,,to bad many will fall asleep on there shift....

I thought you might be using that argument.

2Pe 3:3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.
2Pe 3:4 They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation."
....
2Pe 3:8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.

This is not saying that 1000 years are equal to a day. Peter is addressing those that were implying the promise had failed. Perhaps these were false teachers or even early Christians who had calculated and set a time when the promise would be fulfilled. All verse 8 is saying is that a long time to us is a short time to God. Notice that it does not say "one day is a thousand years" but rather "one day is as a thousand years." It is a figure of speech known as a simile.

But notice also verse 10: "the day of the Lord will come like a thief" (see also 1Th 5:2). In other words, you cannot calculate or know when.

Numbers, especially when used in prophecy, are often symbolic and not to be taken literally.

I'm not sure how that relates to what I posted.

Think about it.
Yeah, that didn't work. The most we can really say about that verse is that it foretells of the death and resurrection of Jesus.

The resurrection of the elect is after two thousand years, and the third day is the end of the thousand years, and the resurrection of the sheep and goats.
