Astronauts fear the sky is going to fall?

In back-to-back judgments, both of which will take place in the first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation Period, we see events similar in description to bodies from space striking the planet!

Building on what we read in Revelation 8:8-9, Revelation 8:10-11 indicates the arrival of Wormwood is going to cause more devastation to occur! Not only will a third of the sea become blood, a third of all sea life die, and a third of all shipping be destroyed, Wormwood, following on the heels of the great mountain burning with fire being cast into the sea, is going to leave a third of the earth's fresh water undrinkable and deadly poisonous in the wake of its impact. Talk about a nightmare scenario - or two as is the case!

Back to the Fox News story.

According to the story, many former astronauts, one of whom is Apollo 9's Rusty Schweickart, believe we need to begin preparing to confront the threat posed by space objects which may someday impact the earth.

Schweickart is quoted in the story as saying, "There are always natural disasters and it always seems as though the preparation is somewhat less than adequate. But we have had a series of quite substantial ones here in the last year."

Indeed, the world has had some quite substantial disasters in the last year. Sadly, the immediate future will bring nothing better. Of that we can be sure as we are presently witnessing the birth pains of the Tribulation Period to come as prophesied!

As surely as you are reading this website today, with all due respect to America's astronaut heroes, no amount of spending or preparation is going to prevent Revelation 8:8-11 from taking place! The events have been prophesied and, although mankind has come to realize the threat posed by events like those described in prophecy, they will come to pass during the Tribulation Period!

Much like the fictional character 'Chicken Little' believes the sky is going to fall, America's astronauts are afraid the sky (or something from it) is going to fall on an unprepared world with horrific consequences. While I concur with their assessment of the dangers posed by these objects zooming through space, I thoroughly understand and accept that the only thing I can do to protect myself, assuming the events described in Revelation 8:8-11 are scheduled to take place within my lifetime according to God's prophetic calendar and will, is to not be here when they get here!

As I state here regularly and emphatically, the return of Jesus Christ for His Church is going to come at an hour no one can predict, as seen in Matthew 24:42. When He does, only those who have come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are going to be spared the suffering of the Tribulation Period that will follow - the time when those who have worried that the sky may someday fall, figuratively speaking, will see their worst fears become reality.

Luke 21:25-26: And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Whenever I write a commentary like this, I can't help but reflect on how thankful I am to know I have a Savior capable of keeping me from witnessing such calamity! If you don't have one, namely Jesus Christ and Him alone, my recommendation is you get one by repenting of your sins and accepting Him as your Lord and Savior as soon as possible, preferably as soon as you finish reading this commentary! Tomorrow may be too late!
