Wormwood, a meteor that makes the waters bitter?
Revelation 8
8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Note John does not call it a great mountain. He said it was something like a great mountain. If it were a great mountain then John would say that. This description Sounds like a description of a large meteor entering earths atmosphere. A mountain that will strike a Sea.
Revelation 6
12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.
Now what do you think the effect would be of a massive meteor strike on the earth surface. A massive shock wave travelling around the world causing the greatest earthquake the world has ever seen? And think of the massive amounts of debris kicked up into the atmosphere and also ejected into lower earth orbit, making the sun darken and the moon turn blood red like it is shining through iron dust maybe?
Revelation 6
13And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
Now the stars falling to the earth? looks like a good first century description of a massive debris shower re-entering the earth’s atmosphere as the matter kicked up from the impact of the meteor comes back to earth. What do people call little pieces of space rock that enters into our atmosphere? That’s right a falling star. As for the " sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up. Imagine what the massive mushroom cloud of a meteorite impact would look like from the ground as it expands out from the impact site? Like the whole sky rolling away like a scroll of approaching darkness. From the view point of a man on the ground it would be like this. Jesus said:
Luke 17
29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
Revelation 8
11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
How does a meteor make water bitter so that men who drink it die?
The heat from the shock wave of the entering meteor and reprocessing of the air close to the impact produces nitric and nitrous acids over the next few months to one year. The chemical reaction chain is: [FONT="][/FONT]
a. N2 + O2 ‚> NO (molecular nitrogen combined with molecular oxygen produces nitrogen monoxide)
b. 2NO + O2 ‚> 2NO2 (two nitrogen monoxide molecules combined with one oxygen molecule produces two nitrogen dioxide molecules)
c. NO2 is converted to nitric and nitrous acids when it is mixed with water.
So Nitrous acid will be produced in large quantities and will wash out of the atmosphere when it rains causing massive contamination of water supplies.
Revelation 16
8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.

“A medium-sized asteroid plunging into the ocean would destroy much of the ozone layer, leaving the Earth exposed to dangerous levels of ultraviolet radiation, it was claimed today.
The impact from a space rock 500 metres to one kilometre in diameter would send vast amounts of water into the atmosphere, according to US expert Dr Elisabetta Pierazzo.
Seawater chemicals such as chloride and bromide would strip away significant amounts of ozone, which provides a shield against harmful sun rays.
The result would be a huge spike in ultraviolet (UV) radiation levels at the Earth's surface.
People with fair skins would find their skin burning after just a few minutes of sun exposure.
Farmers would have difficulty growing crops, and rates of skin cancer and cataracts would be likely to rise.
Previous research looking at the effects of an oceanic asteroid impact has focused on the danger of tsunamis.
Dr Pierazzo's new work, published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, used computer simulations to model the effects on atmospheric ozone.
She tested two impact scenarios, involving a 500 metre and kilometre diameter asteroid.
"The results suggest that mid-latitude oceanic impact of one kilometre asteroids can produce significant global perturbation of upper atmospheric chemistry, including multi-year global ozone depletion comparable to record ozone holes recorded in the mid 1990s," said Dr Pierazzo, from the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona.
"The removal of a significant amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere for an extended period of time can have important biological repercussions at the Earth's surface as a consequence of increase in surface UV-B irradiance. These include increased incidence of erythema (skin reddening), cortical cataracts, changes in plant growth and changes in molecular DNA."
People may be forced to avoid direct sunlight to protect themselves against the harmful UV rays, she added.
UV intensity is measured by the ultraviolet index (UVI), with levels of 10 or above assumed to be dangerous.
The highest UVI recorded on Earth so far has been 20, said Dr Pierazzo. But a 500-metre asteroid crashing into an ocean could see UVI jump to values above 20 for several months in the northern subtropics.
A one kilometre impact would see UVI soar to 56, rising above 20 for around two years in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
"A level of 56 has never been recorded before, so we are not sure what it is going to do," said Dr Pierazzo. "It would be producing major sunburn. We could stay inside to protect ourselves, but if you go outside during daylight hours you would burn. You would have to go outside at night, after sunset, to avoid major damage."
Assuming there is enough warning, farmers could reduce the effects of the impact by planting crops with a higher UV tolerance, she said.
Food could also be stored to ensure supplies during a few years of poor productivity.â€
Revelation 6
15And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"
Well the great men of the world have indeed made their great bunkers in the mountains in the best granite rock for protection against nuclear attack. And i am sure they will run for their privileged places when this thing strikes. But of course their well stocked and reinforced underground complexes will become their tombs... eventually.

Please, just re-word these two verses.
