Wormwood

[CherubRam]

[FONT=&quot]Wormwood[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A type of bitterness, affliction, remorse, punitive suffering. In Amos 6:12 this Hebrew word is rendered "hemlock" (RSV, "Wormwood"). In the symbolical language of the Apocalypse ( Revelation 8:10 Revelation 8:11) a star is represented as falling on the waters of the earth, causing the third part of the waters to be turned wormwood (bitter, poisoned.)

The parabolic meaning of the word Wormwood is "bitterness," and it has to do with the waters becoming contaminated by radiation.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

[FONT=&quot]12 This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. 13 On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another. 14 Judah too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.[/FONT]

Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

32 Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons[a]
or lead out the Bear[b] with its cubs?

Footnotes:
a. Job 38:32 Or the morning star in its season

b. Job 38:32 Or out Leo



My translation.

Can you bring forth the Morning Stars in their seasons? Or can you lead The Lion with his sons?

Morning Stars are the people of God.

Christ is The Lion of (Judah) the faithful.

The Lion Cubs are the Sons of God.[/FONT]

   "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
   
   [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I think the proper way to view this is that Lucifer is an interpretation, were as Morning Star is a translation. In symbolism Lucifer is associated with Satan the Snake, and or the Dragon. The word Satan literally means accuser. It is used for any who are in opposition to Gods earthly rule, even those who are thought of as Morning Stars. Jude 1:3. Loved, I was eager to write to you about the salvation we share, it was necessary for me to write to you, and encourage you to earnestly contend for the faith that was given to the saints.
4. Because you are unaware that certain men have sneaked in, who are of a ancient order to their condemnation, these ungodly men turn the grace of our God into immorality, and deny that the only God is Yahwah, or that our lord Yahshua is the Messiah.

The tail of a comet passing into the earth's atmosphere could cause the contamination of all freshwater. God deals with astronomical events, always has, always will. "Occam's razor".

BTW, the Hebrew and the Greek words which are translated "wormwood" are not equivalent in meaning.

I doubt that it is a comet.

Zechariah 14
12 This is the plague with which the Lord will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths. 13 On that day people will be stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will seize each other by the hand and attack one another. 14 Judah too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15 A similar plague will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

That's Armageddon, the final event when Jesus returns, and not the series of plagues described elsewhere in Revelation.

The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected

[FONT=&quot]It is a presumption by some scholars, and not a fact, that Megiddo is a battlefield described in the Bible, in relationship to Revelation 16:16, as a place of a predicted final struggle between good and evil. Some believe that the name may be taken from that of the battlefield of Megiddo valley. See Judges 5:19. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The word "Megiddo" appears in scripture twelve times, and never with the word "Har" for (Mount) in front of it. The word "Megiddon" is a King James translation in the Old Testament only; and in Revelation 16:16, the King James uses the word spelling "Armageddon". The Valley of Megiddo and Armageddon have no biblical relationship. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Zion is not only the faithful in Israel and the world, but it is also a city in the last days according to scripture. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]There is a great deal of scripture to support what I claim, with the word "Zion". However, there is no scripture to support that the valley of Megiddo is a gathering place for Zion. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The false prophet will tell the leaders of the world that Zion must be destroyed, so that their descendants will inherit the earth. [/FONT]

The final battle, when Christ returns, is in the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. - Joel 3:1-2
Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. - Joel 3:11-12
