I have been studying God's biblical use of nature's elements and forces for the past couple of years. Joel's army fits meteorite/comet description so well. Here are a few others:
Isaiah
14:23 –
“I will sweep it with the broom of destruction.” (cometary tail
with its destructive forces, hail, ice, fire bolides and
pestilence.)
Isaiah
34:4 –
“All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens
shall be rolled up like a scroll” (the universe is
described by astronomers as being flat and rolled out in an
arc.)
Isaiah
24:19
– “The earth is violently broken (violent rocking back and forth
in its orbital pathway will produce catastrophic changes to
the crust of the earth) , the earth is split open (the
mid-Atlantic ridge in the center of the Atlantic Ocean is evidence of
a major rift of tearing of the earth’s crust. A smaller but equally
dramatic is the Great Rift Valley which traverses from the
Dead Sea (the former Vale of Siddon) all the way to the lower part of
the continent of Africa), the earth is shaken exceedingly. (The earth
is a magnetized floating ball rotating in orbit around the sun. Subject this
earth to a close flyby of another planet of our sun’s twin binary
red star that is also laden with an iron laden crust and both
stellar bodies will weave, rock, roll and twist like two floating magnets
near each other.)”
Isaiah
24:1 –
“The Lord makes the earth empty (empties molten lava) and makes it waste (
(look at pictures of Mt. St. Helen after she
erupted in a massive volcanoe, the earth was empty and waste, yet
splitting it open suggested the earth expansion such as the mid Atlantic
ridge) , distorts its surface (turneth it upside down KJV) (mountain
formation and earth crust deformation is a cataclysmic event, but
“turning it upside down” suggests a complete polar reversal) and scatters
its inhabitants (Man flees and human life is destroyed in every
cataclysm).
Isaiah
17:13 –
“like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.(Rolling
“galgal in Hebrew, is a rolling, rotating wheel or ball like
object. Thing is from the Hebrew word dabar meaning appoint,
to subdue or to destroy. It is similar to deberwhich means pestilence, meteorites, Murrain, plague” – therefore a
rotating, orbiting planetary object which will destroy and cause
pestilence, murrain or the plague.
Isaiah
37:36 –
“Then the angel of the Lord went out (flyby of a cometary or
planetary object), and killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred
and eighty-five thousand…” (In Hebrew mystical lore, all planetary objects have
an angel.)
Isaiah 5:28 –
“He
will lift up a banner to the nations from afar, and will whistle
to them (meteor shower) from the ends of the earth; surely
they shall come with speed, swiftly …..whose arrows are sharp
(cometary debris) , and all their bows bent; their horses’
hooves will seem like flint (rocks cutting the skin), and
their wheels like the whirlwind (rolling and tumbling through the air).
Their roaring will be like a lion (the sounds of bolides
crashing and exploding)…and lay hold of the prey; they will carry
it away safely, and no one will deliver (there is no safe
place)…and if one looks to the land, behold, darkness and
sorrow; and the light is darkened by the clouds (the land will
lay desolate, the trees destroyed and smoke and dust will darken the
sky).”
Isaiah 30:27-28 –
“Behold, the name (ISON?????) of the
Lord comes from afar (comet coming from the stellar spaces),
burning with His anger (fiery orb), and His burden is
heavy; his lips are full of indignation (appears angry and people
fear), and His tongue like a devouring fire (the cometary trail swirls
like a tongue). His breath is like an overflowing stream,
which reached up to the neck, to sift the nations with the
sieve of futility (the nations are scattered, empires are toppled) ;
and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people (the peoples
of the world watch in absorbing fear), causing them to err
(panic and loss of reason).
Isaiah 30:30 –
“The
Lord
will cause His glorious voice to be heard (incoming roar of a
comet), and show the descent of His arm (incoming arc of
the cometary trail), with the indignation of His anger and the flame
of a devouring fire (fiery destruction), with scattering (the inhabitants
flee), tempest (sweep of winds hundred of miles per hour), and
hailstones (meteor showers and bolides of fire). For through the voice of
the Lord, Assyria will be beaten down, as He strikes with the rod. (Assyria
will be an impact zone for a cometary strike) – see Revelations trumpet
plagues 1-3)
