Alexander Rykhlya, director of the department of international scientific and technical cooperation, gave this opinion: “My view is that as time passes the medical aftermath will become worse. Over 200 million people have experienced excess exposure to radiation because of Chernobyl.ĭr. One million extra cases of cancer are predicted worldwide within 70 years, Ukrainian scientists estimate. Disease rates in some regions are three times higher for children than before the accident, and four to five times higher for pregnant women. The Chernobyl meltdown released 10 times the amount of radioactive substances as was released by the bombing of Hiroshima in World War II!Īn estimated 125,000 people in the Ukraine have died because of the Chernobyl disaster, and two million have been infected. The explosion in Chernobyl’s reactor released an immense cloud of radiation north of the Ukrainian capital of Kiev.
Authorities evacuated 170,000 people, threw up barbed wire, and declared the area a permanent “exclusion zone.” In an 18-mile radius around the reactor, Geiger counters found extraordinarily high-level “gamma fields” where the fire’s plume brushed the ground. For three weeks the fire spread out of control, sprinkling iodine-131 and other nuclides as far as Scandinavia, Italy, and Britain. The explosion was so powerful that it blew the 2 million pound concrete lid of the reactor into the air. Deprived of coolant, 150 tons or uranium fuel melted into lava that oozed into the basement of the reactor.Ī second hydrogen explosion ignited blocks of graphite, rocketing a hot plume of radioactive particles a mile into the sky. Within 36 seconds the reactor surged out of control, and a steam explosion pierced the roof. Incredibly, Chernobyl is the Russian word for wormwood! It appears that the Chernobyl catastrophe was the fulfillment of the sounding of the third trumpet of Revelation 8!Īt 1:22 am on April 26, 1986, a Soviet reactor crew carelessly turned off the safety systems of the Chernobyl Unit 4 nuclear reactor to perform an unauthorized safety test. The world’s worst ever nuclear meltdown occurred in 1986 at Chernobyl in Ukraine, at that time one of the states of the Soviet Union. Parts of these events are signaled by the blowing of the third trumpet in chapter 8, a great star called Wormwood was cast into the earth. The book of Revelation describes cataclysmic events that are to happen in the endtime. The above facts have come to light since the article below was published in the May/June 1995 issue of Endtime magazine.Īnd the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. The article reporting the visit to Chernobyl by the two presidents also described a statue now standing on the site: An enormous angel blowing a trumpet! Is it merely a coincidence that the name of the memorial complex remembering those that died fighting the nuclear fires of Chernobyl is the exact same name of the fallen star called Wormwood referred to in the third trumpet prophecy of Revelation 8?
Chernobyl and the Third Trumpet By Irvin Baxter The headline reporting this visit read: Presidents of Ukraine, Russia visit “Star of Wormwood” memorial To commemorate the 25 th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown, on April 26, 2011, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visited the memorial dedicated to the “liquidators” (first responders) to the accident.
