An asteroid whizzed past Earth recently, but the celestial object did not escape notice of skywatchers.
Combined with the fourth blood moon and prophecies about the skies aligning in the end times, the Asteroid Watch Twitter account tried to appease the fears of the concerned:
“Asteroid 2012 TT5 will safely pass Earth tomorrow by about 5 million miles/8 million km or 21.5 LD (lunar distances). It poses no threat,” according to the tweet. The specific asteroid referenced passed by without incident on Sept. 24.
The date is merely one day after the close of the 2015 Shemitah, the Sabbath year in the seven-year biblical cycle.
A chart posted by the organization reveals upcoming asteroids will sail by the earth at much closer distances on Sept. 29-30, and Oct. 1-3.
Despite the government organization’s reports, photos surfaced revealing a light illuminating the sky.
Asteroid Watch insists the object is a star, and maintains asteroids are not a threat.
In combination with recent blood moon, though, some are wondering if the alignment matches biblical prophecy.
The blood moon, or total lunar eclipse, had millions across the globe seeing red on Sept. 27/28.
According to Luke 21:25, “There will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars; and on earth distress of nations, with perplexity the sea and waves roaring.”
In Joel 2:31: “The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood.”
This particular blood moon is the fourth in a series falling within the calendar of Jewish festivals.
