I am interested in Bible prophecy about a Asteroid hitting the earth in the near future. What do you all think.

In the biblical view of the cosmos, the earth is not a planet as we know it to be. According to the Bible the earth is a flat immovable disk supported by pillars, the firmament of heaven is a solid structure (in the form of a vault on the earth) that holds back the waters above the heaven, and the stars are just lights set in the firmament and will fall to the earth in the last days. In that view of the cosmos, asteroids would not exist.



According to the Bible, God created the earth before he created the sun, moon, and stars, and he will destroy the whole cosmos in the last days when he judges the earth and its inhabitants. There are no other worlds in the biblical cosmos because there is no need or place for them. The points of light that we see in the night sky, that we know to be planets, were just considered by the Bible writers to be essentially the same as the stars, but were different in that they moved from night to night with respect to the other stars.



Jesus and Isaiah prophesied that the stars would fall from the sky in the last days. Since the stars are actually other suns like our own, which is more than 100 times the diameter of the earth, this goes to show how nonsensical the biblical cosmos is.



So you don't need to worry about an asteroid hitting the earth because of biblical prophecy. Though that is not saying it couldn't happen for other reasons.

And just where in the Bible does it do that? These people had no knowledge asteroids. They still thought comets were harbingers of disaster.... they had no idea what they really were.





EDIT: The Earth has been hit repeatedly in the past and will continue to be hit in the future... which one's are the Bible talking about. Those in their future (the last 2,000 years) or ours?

I have read the whole Bible and never once saw mention of the word "asteroid".



Given the fact that the people who wrote the Bible had no idea of celestial bodies and weren't even aware that the sun was the center of our solar system I somehow doubt they were aware of rogue bodies flying incredibly large orbits around our sun.

The people who wrote the Bible had no idea about asteroids. None.

Rev 8:10 a huge star fell from the sky burning like a ball of fire.

there is mention of Fire burning the earth in other scripture, Our Blessed Mother in her latest warnings talks about fire falling from the sky.(Akita japan apparitions).
