Thought made me turn cold

I went cold all over when I heard it. People have been writing in the paper and on the website. Peter Keen, Trevor Mytton and possibly Ron Jones who have laid the blame for the atrocious weather conditions on the Sodom and Gomorrah type of existence they see us leading today.

I thought "fiddlesticks" once or twice, then I heard it.

Michael Palin visiting Chernobyl, and with an expression of "I told you so" mentioned the quotation from Revelations 8:10-11.

"And the third angel sounded . . . 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."

Thus he implied he thought the prophecy was fulfilled by the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant meltdown in April 1986.

The very name given to the third Trumpet star in the Bible is Chernobyl and was the catastrophe predicted 1,900 years in advance?

The word Chernobyl actually does mean wormwood.

Creepy indeed. I remembered the plants we were shown by our friends up at Lake Vyrnwy.

The mutations were unearthly, these were thought to be the result of the rain from Chernobyl falling on the highest ground in that particular area . . . and we do know how long the sheep were shining green lights and clicking thereafter.

Certainly makes one think.
