WORMWOOD’S FALLEN ANGEL/FAMINE CONTEXT

With the concepts of Nibiru as a planet out of the way, and now that we no longer need to fear the wrath of the Anunnaki’s fateful collision, let’s take a look at what Revelation might actually be saying about a fallen angel/star in proper context.

But first, a quick trip down Biblical Interpretation Lane . . .

Revelation: literal or not?

When discussing whether the falling star could actually mean a falling angel, the conclusion based on so many supporting scholarly materials is an easier one to come to than the other, which suggests that the bitterness (poisoning) of wormwood actually means famine and has nothing to do with water. Nevertheless both concepts demand that the question of literality in the interpretation of Revelation is at least visited briefly so readers can understand 1) why the interpretations—even among scholars—vary so widely, and 2) why many of these theories are equally as plausible as several of the others. With that in mind, I’ll keep it short.

There is a popular (and respectable) principle of biblical interpretation that many instructional books (including college textbooks in the most reputable Christian universities) teach as one of the first rules to follow when studying the Bible. Though the wording may change a bit on a case-by-case basis, the gist goes about like this: “If a verse can be interpreted literally, it should be. The only occasion when a scripture should not be taken literally is when doing so creates an absurdity.”

For instance: “The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments” (2 Tim. 4:13). This is a clear, nonallegorical order for Timothy to bring Paul’s cloak and documents. It comes at the end of a didactic letter with instructions for ministry, not within the frame of poetry or apocalyptic, and so on. In other words, to take 2 Timothy 4:13 as literal does not create an absurdity, because it’s not illogical or unreasonable in any way to assume Paul wanted Timothy to swing by with some supplies next time he was headed out Paul’s way.

However, “except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). This statement, taken to the fullest application of literality, means that a man must crawl through his mother’s womb again before he can go to heaven. But as we know, even Nicodemus, the recipient of these words as Christ spoke them, realized that a literal interpretation would create an absurdity, so he sought clarification, and Jesus further explained that this rebirth was “of the Spirit” (John 3:4–6), leading us today to understand that this was a metaphor, a symbol of a spiritual change into what is elsewhere described as a “new creature” (2 Cor. 5:17).

Therefore, to follow one of the most fundamental principles of biblical interpretation, wormwood would be a poisoning of fresh waters (not famine), and Wormwood would be a space-body mass object of some kind (not an angel or fallen angel).
