So you know how in Revelations, it talks about fire coming down?

I've been thinking that IF it meant asteroids, we might be able to see them coming already? I say 'might' cuz I doubt the world will survive much longer, so I would think we should be able to see a bunch of asteroids coming our way. Hrmmmm.

What other ways could fire fall from the heavens? I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on it!

There are several places in Revelation where it speaks of fire coming down from heaven.

Rev. 8.7. This one sounds like a volcano to me.

Rev. 13.13. This one sounds like lightning to me.

Rev. 16.8. This one sounds like extreme heat (16.9).

Rev. 20.9. This one sounds like a metaphor for God's judgment.

It's the 8.7 one, and I hadn't thought of the volcano idea!

Won't know until it finishes playing out, but I like to imagine.
