Wormwood: Asteroid or Comet?
Have you heard of the Wormwood prophecy? Did you know that there is planned a “2027 Planetary Defense Conference” based around a hypothetical impact threat of the earth being hit from an object from outer space?
Is it possible that we may have to nuke an incoming comet or asteroid? Well, yes, some scientists say it is possible. The earth has been hit by objects from outer space in the past and it is possible that our planet may be threatened again in the future. So, in addition to buying more and more defensive weapons, some feel that we may have to also defend ourselves from an aggressive planet in the future.
But what about the Bible? What does the Bible say about a future impact from an asteroid or comet?
In the 8th chapter of the Book of Revelation starting we read "10 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter."
So what will Wormwood be? Could this be a comet or asteroid? Can humans stop it or since it is in the Book of the Apocalypse is its coming destruction guaranteed? When can or will it hit? What did Jesus say and the Apostle John write to show us when? Can Wormwood hit before 2033?
Watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical truth on the timing of the impact of the asteroid or comet from outer space.

Wormwood Prophecy, Planetary Defense, and Asteroid Threats with Dr. Bob Thiel
Steve Dupuis asks Dr. Bob Thiel whether Earth faces an imminent cosmic collision, and Thiel reviews recent planetary defense concerns, biblical timelines, and scientific clues showing why Revelation's Wormwood cannot strike for years.
Outer Space Threats and Planetary Defense Concerns
Steve Dupuis opens the broadcast by noting a recent meteor shower where he lives and asking Dr. Bob Thiel whether humanity should expect an impact from an outer space object. Thiel responds by citing an article by Michael Snyder that questions why scientists are suddenly demonstrating intense concern over asteroid impacts. He reads excerpts highlighting the 2027 Planetary Defense Conference, which developed a response scenario based on a hypothetical threat from a very large incoming asteroid. Thiel also notes that researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are modeling how to destroy massive Earth-bound asteroids using nuclear weapons, while NASA recently conducted the OSIRIS-REx mission to retrieve samples from an asteroid. Although official agencies assure the public that no catastrophic space rocks are heading toward Earth for decades, Thiel explains that astronomers frequently discover previously unknown asteroids or observe objects shifting trajectories, prompting ongoing governmental interest in potential planetary defense options.
The Biblical Timeline and Denounced Predictions
Thiel points out that over the past several decades, he has repeatedly denounced predictions from various ministers who claimed an asteroid or comet would strike within weeks or months to fulfill the biblical Wormwood prophecy. When Dupuis asks why he rejected those claims, Thiel explains that the Apostle John's prophetic sequence in the Book of Revelation demonstrates that Wormwood cannot strike for several years. Turning to Matthew 24, Thiel reviews the signs Jesus instructed his followers to watch for, including false prophets, growing lawlessness, and the worldwide preaching of the gospel of the kingdom as a witness before the end comes. Thiel stresses that the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel has not yet stood in the holy place. Because these pivotal prerequisite events remain unfulfilled, the subsequent great tribulation and heavenly disturbances mentioned by Jesus cannot immediately occur, ruling out any imminent impact.
Seals of Revelation Preceding the Tribulation
Explaining how Jesus's warnings in Matthew 24 align with the Book of Revelation, Thiel notes that all seven seals must be opened before Wormwood appears. He estimates that at most three seals may currently be opening, leaving the world at least three and a half years away from the fifth seal of Revelation 6:9, which initiates the great tribulation. Thiel reads from Revelation 6 regarding the opening of the sixth seal, which brings a massive earthquake, a blackened sun, a blood-red moon, and stars falling like late figs from a wind-shaken tree. He emphasizes that Wormwood does not fall during these cosmic signs or immediately after the tribulation begins. Instead, John records in Revelation 8 that when the seventh seal opens, silence fills heaven for about half an hour before an angel casts fire to the Earth and seven angels prepare to sound seven trumpets.
The Third Trumpet and the Falling Star Wormwood
Thiel walks through the sequential sounding of the trumpets to illustrate exactly where the space impact occurs in prophetic chronology. After the first trumpet sounds, hail and fire mingled with blood burn a third of the trees and all green grass. When the second angel sounds, something resembling a great mountain burning with fire crashes into the sea, turning a third of the water into blood, killing marine creatures, and destroying a third of all ships. Only after these catastrophic judgments does the third angel blow his trumpet, causing a great star burning like a torch to fall from heaven onto a third of the rivers and water springs. Thiel emphasizes that the name of this falling star is Wormwood, which makes waters bitter and causes many human deaths. Because the sealing of the 144,000 and earlier trumpets must precede it, Wormwood remains years away.
Cyanogen Gas and the Characteristics of Comets
Dupuis asks what Wormwood actually is, prompting Thiel to examine whether the prophesied object represents an asteroid or a comet. Thiel observes that scripture describes Wormwood as a great star burning like a torch, which fits the atmospheric entry of a medium-sized asteroid but aligns even more closely with a large comet. He points out that comets typically exhibit cyanogen gas derived from hydrogen cyanide. When cyanogen gas dissolves in water, it creates hydrogen cyanide, a compound possessing an almond odor and a notoriously bitter taste that causes human death at concentrations exceeding five parts per million. Thiel notes that John described Wormwood causing severe bitterness in fresh waters centuries before modern astronomy discovered toxic chemical compounds on comets. For Thiel, this scientific parallel provides compelling evidence of divine inspiration, though he acknowledges an asteroid containing bitter mineral substances remains another physical possibility.
Human Defense Defeated by Prophetic Certainty
Dupuis asks whether scientists might successfully deflect or destroy Wormwood before it strikes Earth. Thiel replies that while researchers study ways to redirect celestial objects, stopping Wormwood is impossible because biblical prophecy will inevitably come to pass. He cites the 2027 Planetary Defense Conference simulation of a Tunguska-sized object, recalling that the 1908 Siberian blast leveled 2,000 square kilometers and burned vast pine forests. He also references Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory three-dimensional simulations evaluating nuclear weapons against dangerous space rocks. Thiel asserts that human plans will prove futile against God's decreed timeline. He concludes that Wormwood will eventually strike the Earth, contaminating waters and causing severe casualties, but that event is at least six years away and likely longer. Quoting Mark 13:37, Thiel reminds listeners of Christ's admonition to watch, and Dupuis directs listeners to biblenewsprophecy.net.
