Chernobyl And The Wormwood Prophecy*

There is a series on U.S. television about the 1986 nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl. Just a reminder, as we have already seen in "The Aztec Prophecy" and "New Insight Into Bible Prophecy", that this relates to the Book of Revelation and reveals the meaning of a prophecy in that the name of Chernobyl means "Wormwood".

This is another amazing aspect of Bible prophecy that is already known, but not by a lot of people. Chapter 8, verses 10 and 11, of the Book of Revelation has a prophecy that must have mystified people for centuries.

"The third angel sounded his trumpet and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky onto a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became bitter, and many people died from drinking the bitter waters".

Why would a star, or a meteor that is referred to as a "falling star", be named for wormwood, which is a shrub?

If you go to the article titled "Chernobyl", on www.wikipedia.org , the answer becomes clear. Go to the "History" section of the article and, under that, go to the first subsection, which is "Name Origin". You will see that the name of Chernobyl means wormwood.

As you may remember, Chernobyl is where the nuclear meltdown took place in 1986 that spread nuclear radioactivity over a wide area. This is what Chernobyl is known for, and the first thing that anyone thinks of when they hear the name.

One of the primary rules for survivors of a nuclear disaster or attack is never to drink from open water that has been exposed to radioactivity. The falling star represents one or more nuclear missiles, and many people who survived the blast died from drinking water afterward. When the Chernobyl nuclear accident happened, it let us know what this prophecy meant.
