Revelation 9
1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. 2When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace.
Now Read This....
Gulf of Mexico Basin, which contains the Sigsbee Deep and can be further divided into the continental rise, the Sigsbee Abyssal Plain, and the Mississippi Cone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Mexico
I know I'm pretrib but you got to admit the Oil Spill that is gushing from a well that is the size of the Grand Canyon under the sea bed is oddly lining up to Revelation 9:1
Thoughts anyone?
So I guess BP is the star that fell from the sky and opened the Abyss?
I think there is no way that Revelation 9:1-2 refers to the oil spill. I think such use of scripture is as bad as saying that Zephaniah 1:15-16 was about 9/11 or as bad as saying that the Mark of the Beast is going to be a microchip placed in your right hand or forehead.

No I don't think the oil spill is THE abyss but doing a little research on this oil spill and knowing that man has tapped into an oil well deep as the Grand Canyon with millions of pounds of pressure behind it is something man has nothing to stop as we see the oil still flowing with an amount that we really can't say because that keeps changing.Is this a judgement from God or a result of man's greediness?
So we can take scripture and speculate as we do but there is one thing we do know for a fact and that is if man had the technology to stop the oil spill from a well that should have never been tapped into we would already see this problem fixed.They can't fix this because they don't know how,no one does or it would have been fixed already.
So as a watchman(woman) I will see where this fits because you better believe this is no small catastrophe.Also folks don't realize that the Methane Gas bubbling up along with the oil is not only going to suffocate wild life.Research it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane

It's a ecological disaster, no doubt about it, but it's not God's judgment. It's an accident.

Of course! Every disaster, great or small, could be God's judgment. It would be nice if God would somehow let us know which ones are, but, oh well. Can't have everything.
