Chernobyl disaster fulfills Bible prophecy
10The 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– 11the name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
Revelation 8 Chernobyl is the Russian word for "wormwood" |

Wum, you're not the first person to bring up this connection. There're several more that nostradamous was vaguely accurate about. But, so what? the only way anyone would turn their head to the end of the world is if there was an abrupt end. everyone's too self involved to worry about the long run. So, don't worry about it, and making other believe you just makes you look like a loon to the people you don't end up convincing.
you, my friend, are preaching. much like those bible wavers on granville. They might be right.. but they're going about it in the wrong manner. |

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl
Name origin The city is named after the chornobyl' grass, or mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris). The word itself is a combination of chornyi (чорний, black) and byllia (билля, grass blades or stalks), hence it literally means black grass or black stalks. Sometimes chornobyl is erroneously translated as simply "wormwood" (which most commonly refers to Artemisia absinthium), with consequent apocalyptic associations, probably originating from a New York Times article by Serge Schmemann, Chernobyl Fallout: Apocalyptic Tale, July 25, 1986. There, an unnamed "prominent Russian writer" was quoted as claiming the Ukrainian word for wormwood was chernobyl. It fact, there are over 160 kinds of Artemisia, and the terminology is not generally accepted. Some sources refer to Artemisia vulgaris as "common wormwood", while other claim that "common wormwood" is Artemisia absinthium. Wormwood is a different (but related) plant, Artemisia absinthium, Полин (Polyn). "Polyn" has no English equivalent, but corresponds to the botanical genus Artemisia. Botanically, mugwort is "Common Polyn", while wormwood is "Bitter Polyn". Still more confusion comes from the fact that the word "wormwood" is used in the English text of the Apocalypsis, whose usage as the name of a plant not necessarily matches to that of the orginal. Chernobyl bears poetic connotations in folklore, for a number of reasons. Various species of Artemisia are common in steppes, and its strong smell is an often token of steppe. Also, Chernobyl roots were used in folk medicine to heal neurotic conditions, but its overdose could lead to psychical distress, including memory loss. Last edited by Niko; Feb 21, 05 at 01:53 PM. |
