Is the asteroid that was named Apophis over 20 years ago
when first discovered something we should be concerned about?
And could it be related to any of the objects we see falling from the sky
in the Book of Revelation?
These are only my thoughts and conjectures on the subject.
It has been on my mind since it was first discovered in 2004,
and I've been "keeping an eye on it" all these years.
April 13, 2029 is getting closer and closer.
Some of the Questions I will be addressing are:
1 ) How big is 99942 Apophis?
2 ) When was it discovered?
3 ) When is it supposed to pass by the Earth,
missing us by approximately 17,000 - 23,000 miles?
4 ) What would happen if it did hit the Earth?
5 ) Should we - Can we "trust" the official scientific version of what we are to expect?
a ) What is its projected path?
b ) Are we building rockets to take us to the Moon and Mars, or are we really going to try to intercept this asteroid before it reaches Earth?
6 ) Could the government be lying to us ( as they have done so many times in the past )?
7 ) Which passage in the Book of Revelation sounds like it could be this 1,000 foot object crashing to Earth?
8 ) Would this event be near the beginning or the end of the 3 1/2 years of Tribulation ( 42 month of the reign of the Beast )?
9 ) If so, how does this fit with the 1260, 1290 and 1335 days referenced in Daniel chapter 12 ( and the appointed Feasts of the Lord )?
10 ) What should we do to prepare ( since there will be no pre-tribulation "evacuation" aka Rapture )?
* NOTE: The Objects that fall from the sky in the Book of Revelation could be unknown until they suddenly appear.
Space is big, and our ability to see stuff headed our way is very limited.
Apophis could be a near miss, as they are telling us.
Okay.. let's go over the facts as we currently know them ( or have been told officially ).
# 1 - Apophis is estimated to be over 1,230 feet ( 375 meters ) in length.
I've found several different "estimates" of its length and size.
Currently all that we have are crude radar images of this object headed our way.
Roughly the size of the Eiffel Tower.
Approximately 20 million tons
Structure uncertain - Scientists make "educated guesses" sometimes.
Stony-type (S-type) asteroid made up primarily of silicate materials with some metallic nickel and iron
The structure, shape, density and surface of Apophis are likely similar to other S-type asteroids.
We will learn much more about the asteroid around the time of the 2029 Earth flyby.
Not big enough to DESTROY the Earth,
but large enough to "shake things up" quite a bit.
# 2 - It was first noticed on 19 June 2004, at the Kitt Peak National Observatory
Its provisional designation ( first called ) 2004 MN4
It later received the permanent number 99942 (on June 24, 2005)
Its discoverers chose the name "Apophis" on July 19, 2005.
# 5 The official track and predictions have "evolved" over the years.
The internet has many articles and videos on the subject.
The experts we are hearing from / trusting in,
could be mistaken ( not having ALL the Data needed to know 100% what is going to happen ),
or someone might be telling them to lie.
And since scientist are just people,
We can expect most to follow the "lead" of those above them,
and not question the data themselves.
Here is one such projection of the "path" it will take.
With the cluster of satellites included.
# 6 Could the Government authorities be lying to us?
Yes, of course. They have done this many times before.
The COVID non-sense in 2020 is a recent example.
Primarily, if they thought they was a chance of a Global Strike,
they powers that be ( whoever is REALLY in control in this World ),
would NOT want the public to KNOW.
Knowing about an event of this magnitude would create worldwide panic.
The Panic would cause more harm and destruction than the actual event.
Also, there is still "time" to find a solution.
As so many movies on this subject have shown us over the years.
It's also possible we don't have anything to worry about when it comes to Apophis,
but something is going to hit the Earth in the future according to the Bible.
And we know the Earth has been stuck before by large objects from space,
and it could certainly happen again.
It's only a question of time.
# 7 In the Book of Revelation we have several large things falling from the Sky.
The 2nd Trumpet has such an object.
Revelation 8:8-9 says,
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.
And a third of the living creatures in the sea died,
and a third of the ships were destroyed.
The 3rd Trumpet sounds more like a Nuclear Missile.
The effects described make me think of radioactive harm that could result.
Revelation 8:10-11 says,
Then the third angel sounded:
And a great star fell from heaven,
burning like a torch,
and it fell on a third of the rivers
and on the springs of water.
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.
# 8 These events all appear to be near the end of the Great Tribulation.
The last 5 - 6 months.
With the 5th Trumpet bringing torment that is said to last 5 months.
Revelation 9:1-12 discusses this first Woe in detail.
With verses 5 and 6 tell us,
And they were not given authority to kill them,
but to torment them for five months.
Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion
when it strikes a man.
In those days men will seek death and will not find it;
they will desire to die,
and death will flee from them.
# 9 - We find several mentions in the book of Daniel,
and in Revelation as to how long the End Time Events will last.
Time, Times, Half a Time ( 3 1/2 years ) = Daniel 7:25, 12:7 and Revelation 12:14
1260 Days = Revelation 11:3 and 12:6
42 Months = Revelation 11:2 and 13:5
1290 Days = Daniel 12:11
1335 Days = Daniel 12:12
So, one possible theory ( again - just a "guess" ),
would be the reign of the Beast and the ministry of the 2 Witnesses ( both last 1260 days / 42 months )
could BEGIN at Passover ( 2026 ? or some other year ).
3 years later, the 7th Seal is opened.. the 7 Trumpets begin to be sounded.
And two weeks after Passover ( which is always on Full Moon ),
we have the New ( NO ) Moon date of April 13th, 2026
when the 2nd Trumpet "event" occurs.
Possible this Asteroid we have been "watching" for over 25 years
Apophis - "the destroyer".
With the following Trumpets occurring soon afterwards.
With the "Locust" ( 5th Trumpet, 1st Woe ) lasting 5 months
This could ( theory / guess ) put the 7th Trumpet
with it's 7 bowls of God's Wrath occuring of the last 30 days of so,
before Jesus destroys those gathered for the battle of armageddon,
see Revelation 16:16-17
with Revelation 19:11-21 details the victory by Jesus.
So, 1260 days is the length of the Beast's reign
1290 days is the end of all "these things".
1335 days could be the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles ( in gathering )
6 months after the previous Passover.
* Again, this is all just a "crazy" idea in my head.....
You can tell me in a few years just how wrong this "theory" turned out to be.
# 10 - To Be Continued ( and revised ) soon.
