Revelation 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

  9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

(Could some of the answered prayers of all saints,

that were with the incense, possibly be according to the following?)

Matthew 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

(What is a mountain burning with fire like?)

Jeremiah 51:25 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.

Deuteronomy 4:11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

(“as it were” a great mountain burning with fire, what will that be like?

Is it burning upon atmospheric entry due to air friction?

Something as large as a great mountain, yet burning with fire,

but it is not called a star, so is it a meteor or an asteroid?

Doesn’t it say that it was “cast” into the sea,

and not “fell”, like the great star in line 10.

What is the difference?

Could the difference be in the final velocity of impact,

which results from the initial velocity?

When something very large “falls” to the earth,

from the top of the atmosphere, doesn’t its final velocity,

depend upon the acceleration due to gravity,

and the height it falls, e.g. for atmosphere of 62 miles?

But then, doesn’t air frictional drag force and buoyancy,

causes a maximum terminal velocity, e.g. 500 mph?

However, couldn’t something “cast” to the earth,

with an extremely high initial velocity in space,

possibly hit the earth as fast as 150,000 mph?

So, is this cast from above the atmosphere? It doesn’t say.

How fast is it initially “cast” at? It doesn’t say.

Will it probably hit the sea at a very high speed,

and being that large, result in a great tsunami?

I was originally taught that the plagues are worldwide,

and taught that the word “sea”, like in line 9,

represents the “oceans of the world”.

However, in line 8, it wasn’t it cast into “the sea”,

and not into “the seas” or “the oceans”?

i.e. it didn’t say that it broke up upon entry?

So, wouldn’t it have hit in only one place,

into the one sea that it was cast into?

Which sea that is, it doesn’t say, correct?

Could be the Mediterranean, or the Aegean,

or the Black Sea, or the Caspian, etc?

However, whichever sea that it is,

won’t it have devastating consequences there?

Doesn’t it say that third part of that sea becomes blood,

actual blood, not red tide algae,

or some other reddish, blood-like effect?

No, doesn’t the scriptures,

by inspiration of the Holy Ghost,

say, “the third part of the sea became blood”?

Won’t this be a frightening thing,

after a large fiery object hits the sea,

with a huge splash, tsunami,

and much steam released,

the waters of that sea then become blood?)

Revelation 8:9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

(How many of the creatures died,

as a result of the sudden impact,

or by the fire, or by the steam,

or by the blood? It doesn’t say.

However, won’t the total effect of all of these,

be that one third of all the creatures,

that were originally alive in that sea, will die?

Wouldn’t there be millions of fish,

and other creatures living in that sea?

Is it possible that some creature deaths,

result from the initial creatures killed,

which decay, and pollute the water around them?

Also, doesn’t it say that the third part of the ships,

in that sea, will be destroyed?

It doesn’t say how many destroyed by the impact,

but couldn’t some be by fire, or the tsunami?

However, a third are destroyed,

and depending upon which sea that is,

couldn’t that be a lot of ships?

Could they be fishing vessels, or shipping, or cruise,

or military, or charter, or personal vessels?

How many people onboard those ships die?

Could their number could contribute

to the total third of the creatures killed?

Won’t this be a hideous and enormous

environmental disaster,

affecting the people around that sea,

and possibly in much of the world?)

(Don’t those who consider evolution,

doubt that Jesus actually made

all the creatures in the sea on the fifth day?)

Genesis 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

  22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

(But then they won’t they realize,

that the same creator, Jesus,

who made all the sea creatures in one day,

destroys a third of them

in one sea in one day?)
