I say ----
So this Bitter Herb Wormwood can have both Good anf Bad effects on us in this Physical World ----
The Bible uses the word Wormwood in both the Old and New Testament ---metaphorically in a symbolic way---
3 The lips of an adulterous woman drip with honey.
Her kiss is smoother than oil,
4 but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood,
as sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet descend to death.
Her steps lead straight to hell.
18 lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
Jeremiah 23:15
Therefore thus said the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
Lamentations 3:19
"Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall" (ESV)
Topical Encyclopedia
Wormwood is a term found in the Bible that refers to a bitter substance, often associated with judgment, sorrow, and calamity. The word "wormwood" is derived from the Hebrew term "la'anah" and the Greek "apsinthos," both of which denote bitterness. In biblical literature, wormwood is frequently used metaphorically to describe the consequences of sin and divine retribution.
Symbolism and Interpretation
Throughout Scripture, wormwood symbolizes the bitterness and sorrow that result from sin and divine judgment. It serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of turning away from God's commandments and the inevitable suffering that follows disobedience. The recurring theme of wormwood in both the Old and New Testaments underscores the seriousness with which God views sin and the importance of repentance and faithfulness to His covenant.
In a broader theological context, wormwood can be seen as a representation of the moral and spiritual decay that occurs when individuals or nations forsake God. It calls believers to remain vigilant in their faith, to seek God's guidance, and to avoid the spiritual pitfalls that lead to bitterness and destruction.
and -----We see it in Revelation ----as a Star ---Wormwood -----
New Testament Reference
In the New Testament, wormwood appears in the apocalyptic imagery of the Book of Revelation. Revelation 8:10-11 describes the third trumpet judgment: "Then the third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star burning like a torch fell from heaven and landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter like wormwood oil, and many people died from the bitter waters."
wormwood is personified as a star that brings calamity upon the earth, turning the waters bitter and causing widespread death.
I say -----Wormwood is released on the 3rd Trumpet sound ------
We talk about the Mark of the Beast ----and the 4 Horsemen ----but no one seems to mention Wormwood and how devistating this will be on the people here ---Water is a necessity of life -and One Third of the Water will be unfit to drink --and many will drink this poison water out of necessity to quench their thirst ---
Science can only get you so Far---- Folks ----then there is God -----
