By the end of this you will realize the immense danger we could have here on our planet if the world's powers use nuclear force against the comet and asteroid of the End Time to divert these objects hurtling at us from the dark of the night, undetected and invisible to our eyes. It's important to note that several of the "solutions" advocated by Hollywood suggest the use of nuclear force against them. The consequences of the nuclear solution are not considered and they are more devastating than we thought possible. The proper solution is a different way of applying force to them to divert them, but we need to plan for it now and act on it.
APRIL 1986 - JANUARY 1995
In less than 9 years over 126,000 people died in the contaminated areas, from this self-inflicted accident. The number affected (10,000,000) with this slow death is far higher than the approximately 275,000 who died in Nagasaki and Hiroshima in the world's first nuclear war during modern history. (And unfortunately, according to prophecy, not the last act of nuclear aggression.)
Normal death figures over this period, from natural causes, would be 45,000. The radiation accounts for 280% more deaths than normal. 20,000 of the deceased took part as liquidators in the immediate Chornobyl vicinity (liquidator is the Russian term used for those who dealt with the damage after the blast)
Ukrainian Health Ministry
In the early hours of 26 April 1986 a young inexperienced and tired operator at the nuclear plant at Chornobyl, 80km north of Kiev (Kijev) allowed the level of reactivity in one of the plant's reactors to fall dangerously low. As he attempted to correct this, the power in the reactor rose dramatically and uncontrolled, with a resulting melt down of the reactor core occurring and a powerful explosion of steam took place. This was closely followed by a massive second explosion of hydrogen, which started a huge graphite fire (in the reactor moderators) and blew 100 million curies of radioactivity into the environment. The radioactivity eruption continued for ten days. The worst publicized accident in the history of nuclear energy. (Another nuclear disaster at Obninsk 50 km SW of Moscow is almost unknown, as is another one in Khazakstan in the area north of Afghanistan and west of China. The dumping ground of nuclear ships and wastes in Novaya Zemlya has not been included although it is a dangerous situation.) [There is an apparent uncaring attitude amongst several nations who are nuclear powers already. France has not informed it's own citizens of the real dangers and they are oblivious. Pakistan and India flirt in aggressive fashion with their nuclear bombs playing an extremely costly game of one-up-manship. They too are oblivious to the damage these bombs create on the globe with the increased levels of radiation and higher frequency of severe earthquakes.]
During the explosion, flaming pieces of the reactor core were propelled onto the roof of the plant. The resulting numerous fires required immediate action to prevent damage and possible explosions in the adjoining unit 3 reactor. A fire there could double the potential radionuclide release to the atmosphere. The human cost in containing the fire was by itself large. The fire fighters had Geiger counters which went "off the scale". The radiation was so intense that 15-20 minutes spent near the fire was fatal to at least 31 people and fatally sickened several more. In the days following photographs and videos taken showed the effects of exposure to high levels of radiation. 37K pictureThe effect on several documetary videos showed innumerable small bursts of light randomly thoughout the scene, which was a nuclear effect on the film itself.
The information eventually released by the then Soviet Government was that 50 megacuries of the most dangerous radionuclides and 50 megacuries of chemically inert radioactive gases were released. This was millions of times more than the officially reported 17 curies released in the Three Mile Island accident in Pennsylvania in 1979. The public concern over that event was huge, and yet by comparison the vastly larger danger has far less action by a concerned public.
In the weeks following the disaster the radioactive fallout was spread throughout eastern and northern Europe and then the rest of the world in two ways. Primarily the fallout was carried by the winds and deposited by the rainfall pattern. Secondly the spread of the radiation was through the export of contaminated products from the areas affected by the direct route. The world was not notified of the danger of the resulting fallout.
The first warning of the disaster came at 9:00 hours on April 28 at the Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant, 60 miles north of Stockholm, Sweden, not from the Ukrainians, Russians or Soviet Federation. This is a nuclear facility more than 1200 km away from Chornobyl detecting the nuclear cloud as it drifted northwards more than 48 hours later. That the general population was kept in the dark by Soviet authorities is highlighted by the following comment by a Warsaw resident:
"We can understand an accident. It could happen to anyone. But that the Soviets said nothing and let our children suffer exposure to this cloud for days is unforgivable."
The situation in Ukraine was worse as the population was still not informed while Polish children were being given iodine solution (to lessen the intake of radioactive iodine isotopes).
Soviet authorities indicated that over 135,000 people were evacuated from a zone 30 km in
radius around the reactor's zone of extreme contamination. The authorities reported the
evacuation began "3 hours" after the explosion. However, reliable sources indicate the actual
evacuation did not begin until at least 48 hours after the explosion and that significant
numbers were not evacuated from the zone for up to 7 days.
Thirty-one lives were lost
immediately from direct radiation exposure. Estimates vary, but it is likely that some 3
million people, more than 2 million in Belarus alone, are still living in contaminated areas.
The city of Chornobyl is still inhabited by almost 10,000 people and the other reactors at the
same facility are still in operation on highly radioactive ground. The economic need for
electrical power were considered greater than the need for safety. The people were not well
informed as to the hazards of being exposed to that level of radiation. They need money to live
and continued to work even though the radiation risked their lives in a quiet, insidious way.
The Chornobyl plant is scheduled for total shutdown by the year 2000. They need money to
replace it and have none they can use. The area is not wealthy and as Russia cannot assist them they continue with their very risky situation.
Birth Rate
The birth rate (general population) has progressively declined: 750,000 children were born annually before the disaster within the affected area. In 1995 (9 years later) this figure was 496,000 or about a 40% decrease in births. (No doubt some of it planned considering the likelihood of having a genetically altered or deformed infant. Not all the defects of radiation occur in the generation exposed to the radiation.)

STATISTICS OF DECLINE OF GENERAL HEALTH OF UKRAINIAN POPULATION
Since 1986, the percentage of unhealthy people has increased from 35% to 68% amongst adults. In children, the percentage has increased from 25% to 58% In contaminated areas it increased from 44% to 82%! 95% of children from Chornobyl liquidators' families or children affected by intrauterine contamination are considered unhealthy in 1995.

CONCLUSION: The health of the young generation in Ukraine shows a clear trend towards deterioration
Estimates put up to 3000 sq km of farmland around the reactor to remain severely contaminated for decades, unless steps are taken to remove the topsoil. The long-lived fission products, cesium -137 and strontium-90 will be a problem for people, crops and animals for generations. Strontium 90 finds it's way into cow's milk.
National Geographic, August 1994:
Little progress has been made on cleaning up the surrounding region. There is no equipment to decontaminate topsoil, and contaminated groundwater is backing up behind a concrete barrier near the reservoir that supplies water to the 2.6 million residents of Kiev. More than 700 peasants evacuated in 1986 have quietly moved back to their farm plots, where they consume contaminated animals and produce. Their lives were devasted by the nuclear contamination but they have nowhere to go and no money to do it with so they live with knowing they are signing a slow death warrant for themselves.
Hot spots abound in the buildings and equipment around Chornobyl. A disabled bulldozer sets off alarms on hand held radiometers, showing 10 times the international accepted exposure level for nuclear power workers. The big Mi-8 helicopters that were used to drop sand into the blazing reactor in 1986 - collected such heavy radiation that some pilots died - rest in a field along with hundreds of contaminated trucks and armoured personnel carriers, many stripped of engines and electronic gear. The radiation is not enough to cause immediate illness, but looters are taking long-term risks. Health officials estimate that 10,000 deaths will result from fallout-induced cancers.
REMEMBER
- WORMWOOD!!!
SO THIS CATASTROPHE
AND ITS HORRIBLE EFFECTS
ARE NEVER REPEATED!
Consider the effects if we forget the consequences of the Chornobyl accident when, within the next decade or two, we deal with "cosmic marauders" as the one "named in scriptures as Wormwood". That will not literally be it's name but the analogy is if we attack a comet or asteroid on a collision course with us using nuclear weapons this is the legacy for us.
The bitter wormwood of Chornobyl is it's nuclear poisoning and the long term effects of it. (There is much more to it than this considering the effects of nuclear detonations in our own world and the dramatic increase of earthquakes it has spawned. We don't know what other effects such an attack could create in space. It must be more than trifling if ancient prophecies have made so many conceptual references to it.) Before the close passage of the comet and asteroid we will be reminded again of the dangers of nuclear warfare again by an act of war using a multiple nuclear warhead which will come from within the former Soviet Union. Can we stop it from being launched? Or do we have to settle for getting people out of harm's way?
Prophecies are warnings to us... we can choose to be deaf to the message or ignore them and suffer the consequences for our inaction. We need an intelligent response. Warnings need to be heeded or the prophecies will occur as foretold. The choice is ours and the Creator most certainly gave us a choice to act on the knowledge He conveyed to us through thousands of years. Learning to hear what He says to us through our dreams will give us a start at resolving the problems, then we have to deal with the cautions using our intelligence. Can we protect ourselves from our own negligence, apathy or foolishness?
If any of the nuclear powers of the world detonate a
nuclear device in space, or in or on these wayward bodies (which is clearly against United
Nations' laws to which most of them are signatories) then we would have a similar deadly
poisonous situation to endure with with comparable or worse results. The method for diverting
the specific comet and asteroid, must be
something other than nuclear. We have time to create the means to do it, and no time to waste
unless you think that living in a radioactive nightmare is living or the atmosphere you want
for your children or their children. This whole time will go too fast and yet it will be like
it's all in slow motion.
For those who want to see a scriptural reference to this
see Amos 5:7 (5:8 refers to the damage (if we do not divert the marauders from "the heavens")
of the sea covering the land, from an axial shift). The other major reference to it is in
Revelation 8:11. That one makes reference to the poisoning of the waters by the same effects as
what happened at Chornobyl, "and many men died." The other references to wormwood are less
clear but De 29:18 alludes to the godless nature of the people as if this is a judgment for
them. The "believing" people of the world will figure very largely in any work done to avert
or diminish this disaster.
The state policy of Ukraine officially allows worship but it and
indeed all of the former Soviet countries were "godless" for a long time (by association with
Russian political practices and in practice it is not back to normal.)
It's bad enough that we might have to endure the
catastrophe for failing to respond adequately but making it worse with a nuclear poisoning is
insanity. We cannot detect dangerous radiation with any of our senses and must rely on
high-tech equipment to tell us whether there is any nuclear pollutants.
If you doubt this is "the end time" of prophecies what would convince you? Other events have gone by us relatively quietly already. What
we have allowed to happen in our world through the political actions of our leaders has led us
to the brink of no return. We overuse or misuse our resources, including renewable resources
like fish and forests. We allow governments to act on our behalf with meanness towards
societies' members who need help, and with violence towards "enemies" (enemies created for
political reasons) so we collectively are complicit and not innocent. (If you aren't allowing
it what are you doing to say they are not governing on your behalf? What actions are you taking
to make changes?)
