My research into the BP oil spill and connections to Wormwood as mentioned in Revelations

Revelation 8:8-11 (King James Version)

8And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

The King James version is the oldest English translation of the Bible. Newer translations say it IS a great mountain burning with fire that is thrown into the ocean. King James version says it is LIKE a great mountain. If John (the author) was shown what would happen, he would surely not understand it in his day. This is why so many ufologists think 'chariots of fire' are really describing ancient UFO sightings. Anyways, this mountain of fire being cast into the sea... what would the burning oil rig look like to someone 1900 years ago?

Next part: 1/3 part of the sea became blood. This is what the dispersant is making the oil look like:

The last picture is of Corexit as it looks immediately after being dispensed. It is a pure red color. When mixed with the oil, it turns it brown, like coagulated blood.

0And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

This can't be the prophecy that the oil spill is about, since there is no star that fell from heaven, burning like a lamp... right?

This is the BP logo:

How would you describe that 1900 years ago? This logo would have been plastered all over the oil rig. If John had been shown an image of what actually happens, this seems to be a possible interpretation of what he saw.

Well, what's with this Wormwood part of the passage in Revelations? What is that?
A: It's a plant... here is more info on it's origins and uses... notice the mention of the Chernobyl disaster and of the wormwood plant's use as an oil...

Artemisia absinthium is thought to have originated in Asia or Europe. It can now be found growing wild in parts of Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America.

The wormwood plant has been used for medical purposes since ancient times. In the east, it has a long history as an additive in sake (rice wine). But in the west, wormwood has only been utilized more recently as an ingredient in absinthe, and some other alcohol based drinks such as vermouth.

The origins of the word wormwood can be traced back to the middle english word wormwode, which is derived from the traditional use of wormwood (as a cure for intestinal worms).

The word wormwood appears in the Christian bible several times. Because of its bitterness, wormwood is often used to describe something very bitter or poison. Although it is found mostly in the old testament, the most well known reference to most people is in the new testament.

In the eighth chapter of the book of revelations, verses 10-11 say that the third angel blew his trumpet and a large star fell from the sky. The star was called wormwood, it fell on a third of the rivers and many people died from this water, because it was turned to wormwood.

In Ukrainian, the word chernobyl is translated into english as mugwort or common wormwood, a species of Artemisia very similar to Artemisia absinthium. The city of Chernobyl (in the Ukraine) was the scene of the worst accident ever in the history of nuclear power.

On April 26, 1986 (just after 01:20 a.m), an explosion at the plant caused radioactive contamination of the surrounding area. The city of Chernobyl is now a ghost town. A 2005 report said 56 people died directly as a result of the explosion, while up to 6.5 million people were highly exposed to radiation.

Some of those who were exposed will develop some kind of radiation related illness, that will eventually kill them. The report also noted that by the year 2002, there were 4000 diagnosed cases of thyroid cancer among children that had been exposed to radiation from the accident.

Medical Uses Of Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)
Artemisia absinthium has been used to rid the body of worms since ancient times. It has long been used to cause abortions and induce labor, and more recently to treat epilepsy and spasms.

When made into tea, Artemisia absinthium can been used to treat appetite problems, diarrhea, gallbladder problems, nausea, stomach pain, and vomiting.

Wormwood oil can be applied externally to bruises, cuts, itching, skin irritations, and sprains. The oil acts as a local anesthetic and can be applied to relieve the pain associated with arthritis, lumbago, neuralgia, rheumatism, tuberculosis, and other ailments.


So... now that I have your firm attention, how about some pictures of wormwood:

Diagram (first link) of various forms of the Wormwood plant linked above. Notice the colors and pattern of the bud in the top left and bottom left corners... look familiar? Also look at a picture of the young plant's pattern (middle link), before it flowers. And a great picture of the buds in the last link. Now look again at BP's logo...
