An 'invisible threat': Swarm of hidden 'city killer' asteroids around Venus could one day collide with Earth, simulations show

Could a killer asteroid one day collide with Earth? According to a new study, it could. This bring to mind the killer asteroids mentioned in the book of Revelation: “The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.” Rev. 8:10-11.

Researchers think there are more hidden space rocks lurking around Venus. All but one of the planet's known co-orbitals have eccentricities greater than 0.38, meaning they have very elongated trajectories around the planet. This suggests there is an observational bias, likely because objects with lower eccentricities are probably being obscured by the sun's glare.

Co-orbitals can also move around relative to Venus, which can change their chances of colliding with Earth in the future. Previous research has shown that this likely happens to the space rocks once roughly every 12,000 years — known as a co-orbital cycle.

We know that Earth is not 12,000 years old so there is a problem which this.

'God of chaos' asteroid may be transformed by tremors and landslides during 2029 flyby of Earth, study finds

In 2029 an asteroid will fly paste Earth that might trigger tremors on the asteroid, not On Earth.

Will this be the asteroid (Wormwood) that was promised in the book of Revelation 8:10-11?

When the 'God of chaos' asteroid Apophis makes an ultraclose flyby of Earth in 2029, our planet's gravity may trigger tremors and landslides that totally change the asteroid's surface.

”Landslides and tremors may transform the asteroid Apophis during its 2029 brush with Earth, according to a new study.”

”Apophis is a 1,100-foot-long (340 meters), peanut-shaped asteroid. Although an impact with a space rock that size from earth annihilate our planet, it could easily destroy a city.”

IN 2029 it will fly as close as 32,000 kilometres or 20,000 miles from earth, maybe even crust into it.

Scientists found an asteroid that is closer to the sun than others

No asteroid has even been discovered this close to the sun. However, now astronomers have found an asteroid that gets to within 20 million kilometres of it. 

They have also found two asteroids as part of a hunt for rocks that are closer to the sun than Earth and may sometime hit the Earth

Will this Mysterious Asteroid Usher In The Calamities Of Revelation?

The last book of the Bible, the Revelation speaks of an object (probably an that asteroid) that is called Wormwood shakes the Earth in a little while.  

“The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water-- the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.”

Now, science talks about an asteroid that can hurl rocks at Earth. It has to do with the meteorite that exploded over Sudan in 2008.

"NASA had spotted the 9-ton (8,200 kilograms), 13-foot (4 meters) meteor heading toward the planet well before impact, and researchers showed up in the Sudanese desert to collect an unusually rich haul of remains. Now, a new study of one of those meteorites suggests that the meteor may have broken off of a giant asteroid — one more or less the size of the dwarf planet Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt."

 

"Some of these meteorites are dominated by minerals providing evidence for exposure to water at low temperatures and pressures," study co-author Vicky Hamilton, a planetary geologist at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, said in the statement. "The composition of other meteorites points to heating in the absence of water."

Now, Jupiter takes care of almost all asteroids, so this one must be arranged by God.
