Chernobyl - the third angel

I'm not too much into the book of Revelations, the end times and trying to guess which prophecy applies to which recent events, but today, I stumbled upon something I found very interesting.

I was reading about the Chernobyl area on Elena Filatova's website and there she mentioned Revelations 8.10-11. I went to look this passage up, and this is what it says (KJV) :

And 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;

And 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.

OK, this is a prophecy about the end times from the book of Revelations. Now, what does it have to do with Chernobyl? In the Ukrainian language, "chernobyl" means "wormwood" or "absinth". A coïncidence? Let's look a bit further.

The name Chernobyl

The little town of Chernobyl in Ukraine was probably named this way because it is located in an area that is full of absinth forests. Now that nature has taken back its right in this region after the incident of 1986, Elena Filatova reports that the wormwood forests are growing a lot around Chernobyl.

Maybe you don't remember what happened in Chernobyl in 1986, so let me refresh your mind. On the 25th of April 1986, one of the reactors of the nuclear plant in Chernobyl, Ukraine, exploded, freeing into the air tons of radioactive particles that were carried all throughout Europe in the weeks that followed. I recommend watching this movie if you want to learn more about this.

Bitter waters

The word "wormwood" is used quite a few times in the Bible, mostly in the Old Testament. It is often used to picture bitterness or poison, especially associated with water.

What happened in Chernobyl has to do with both. If you watched the movie linked above, you know that the nuclear plant in Chernobyl was built on the border of a small lake, and the river Pripyat', which then flows into the Dniepper, which in turn flows into the Black Sea. After the explosion of the reactor, the radioactive magma found itself dripping under the plant towards the water. As a result, the water was poisoned by the radioactive particles, which were then carried by the river.

Another effect was due to the radioactive cloud that resulted from the explosion. Tons of radioactive particles were released into the air and were taken all throughout Europe by the winds. When these particles fell on the ground again, they infected sources and rivers, making them bitter, so to say.

A burning lamp

In the movie linked above, you could look at time index 1:50, which gives an idea of how the whole thing looked. This is obviously not an original document, but it is likely to have been made from people's testimonies. The technician talking right after this passage explains that it was very beautiful, like a glowing rainbow. The image that we see at time index 1:50 resembles a huge burning lamp.



Like I said, I'm not much into prophecies, but I find that all this is very accurate. This is all too likely to not call my attention to it.
