The one that will be coming by soon is about the size of a house. The amazing thing is how close it will come. This one was just discovered August 31 – just a few days ago.
Scientists say that it will come closer to earth than our geosynchronous satellites – less than 22,000 miles. In spite of this, they say it will not be a threat to any of our satellites. The article also states that it will not be visible to the naked eye.
Knowing what a single comet or meteor could do to earth is incredible. If you recall, not long ago, a meteor crossed over Russia and produced an incredible amount of damage.
Now imagine what will happen when a whole bunch of meteors hit the earth at the same time. The Bible predicts it in Revelation 6:13: "And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind."
This is amazing. I’m glad I won’t be here. That same article tells us: "Scientists have found more than 10,000 near-Earth objects in the solar system." When the above Scripture is fulfilled, the damage to Earth will be beyond the ability of anyone to calculate it.
God knows what is going to happen in the last days and He warns people around the world to be ready. How do we do that? God tells us to be saved while there is still time.
