HIS END
143
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power
was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched
with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath
power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast;
and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues
for pain. (Rev 16:8-10)
The fourth and fifth plagues can also be the aftermath of a major
nuclear war. Scientists tell us that a major nuclear explosion can
catapult the earth out of orbit. To explain this let us consider the
example of the space station. The space station is carried to space by
giant rockets that can place it into a pre-determined orbit. If the space
station moves from the orbit that the scientists have determined, they
correct this by the use of “booster rockets.” Each one of these rockets
can move the station in a certain direction, and by manipulating these
booster rockets the scientists can return the space station to its normal
orbit. Imagine if one of these booster rockets malfunctions and fires
on its own, what would happen to the space station? It will be either
catapulted into space to be lost forever or come crashing down to earth.
Now, imagine if all the booster rockets malfunction at the same time or
in sequence one after the other. What would happen to the space
station? This is what could happen to the earth in the case of a major
nuclear explosion or a series of these explosions. Each explosion will
be like a booster rocket catapulting the earth in a different direction.
Let me give you another example, suppose you have a balloon, an
ordinary birthday balloon, and you inflate it and then suddenly let go.
It will go all over the place; the escaping air will be like the booster
rockets moving it erratically.
These erratic movements of the earth can explain these two
plagues, excessive heat that burns the people, followed by darkness and
cold. If the earth follows an erratic course around the Sun, sometimes
coming close to the Sun, and at others going the other way then we
could have this happening. Seems far fetched you think? Hold it my
friend! For there is something in the Bible that supports this theory:
The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the
earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a
drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage. (Isa 24:19-20)
