       We know that wormwood is a woody shrub that people use to make liquor out of, particularly strong or bitter liquor. Thus, the affected waters will become bitter as a result of this judgment, and people will even die when they try to drink it. It could be that people are forced to take a risk at drinking it in certain areas of the world as this is the only water that is available to them. Therefore, it ends up killing many people. The Fourth Trumpet Judgment: “The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night” (Revelation 8:12, ESV). In this judgment, God moves from the earth to outer-space, or at least, it would appear so. In some supernatural way perhaps, God strikes a third of the sun, so that it is only at two-thirds power. This will surely be disastrous. The earth trying to survive with only two-thirds of the sun available to it definitely is a serious problem, and especially for the inhabitants of the earth.

       The third Trumpet Judgment: “The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing 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 people died from the water, because it had been made bitter” (Revelation 8:10, 11, ESV). In this judgment, it could be that a meteor or comet hits the earth’s atmosphere, and as it tries to enter the earth, it is broken apart so that the debris falls on a third of the rivers and fresh waters of the earth. Now, this is obviously supernaturally directed by God. He has the debris fall where he wants it to—to accomplish his judgment. Anyway, if people thought that the terror in one third the sea was bad enough, now one third of the land waters of the earth have been disrupted, the rivers and fresh waters. This will undoubtedly affect tree and plant life, animals, travel, and the ability to drink the water. What many people have taken for granted will no longer be readily available. Drinking water will be hard to come by in certain places.

       In fact, the collision was so explosive that it vaporized the meteor on impact. Scientists may think this to be a cool find in Arizona, but they haven’t seen nothing yet. This mountain, talked about here in Revelation, will hit the sea. The impact is going to be so devastating that it kills one third of the sea life in the whole entire world. Pretty astonishing. Therefore, great whales, dolphins, sharks, smaller fish, whatever you consider within the oceans, a third of those animals are going to perish. And not only that, but also a third of the ships in the world are destroyed, whether they be military ships, or cruise liners, or even smaller, privately owned ships. Thus, militaries, those in the affected area, will incur loss. People wanting to vacation will be disrupted. Normal fishing and other water activities will be affected. All this being the case, this judgment causes tremendous damage to the oceans of the earth.

       Now, the second trumpet: “The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed” (Revelation 8:8, 9, ESV). We have all seen movies where giant comets, meteors, or astroids hit the earth, or are heading toward the earth, like ‘Deep Impact’ and ‘Armageddon.’ Nonetheless, in real life something like a meteor or astroid actually is going to hit the earth. Obviously, there have been meteors or asteroids that have hit the earth in the past. It’s been some 10 years ago now, but I recall going to a meteorite site out in Arizona, east of Flagstaff, where there was a large impact on the earth. It was an awesome site. If you drive off the freeway there a ways, off Interstate 40, you can drive up to the crater, walk right up to it, and look down into it. It is a massive sight to see. My understanding was, if I recall correctly, was that the original impact of the meteor, when it hit the earth, had the explosive power of many atomic bombs.

       If these supervolcanos were to erupt, the devastation would be catastrophic. I saw a documentary on TV once where I believe they said the Yellowstone supervolcano would destroy one-third of the United States if it erupted. Pretty savage. So, with all the volcanic activity that could upon the earth, this could beget a hostile weather climate. That could produce storms causing hail. But, again, this is just a theory. It may simply be that hail and fire, mixed with blood, supernaturally fall to the earth from Heaven. Whatever happens in saying all of this, a third of the entire earth gets burned up. This includes, John tells us, a third of the trees of the earth, and all the green grass on the earth. Note, this may be a sectioned off third of the earth, or, this may be a third of the earth spread out around different parts of the world, varying continents. Regardless, a lot of people, those who are alive when this happens, are going to be affected, and not to mention the animal life. So much for our caring for the environment. God is going to destroy it as we see it today.
