WORMWOOD - AS PETRIFIED WOOD

This is confirmation on that brief post that I did earlier that wormwood is mineralized wood that has been washed into the ocean, then bored by a worm and then mineralized which makes it exceedingly hard (which then could be fashioned into a "poor man's weapon").

Here is a piece that is currently available for sale on e-BAY, that shows the wormholes really well:



Additionally, that reference (to nuclear weapons), combined with the allusion to judgment (bitterness) and a comet falling from the skies, we possibly have our answer to what is being spoken about in Revelations.  Again, I re-iterate that there is almost 100% occurrence of duality in scriptural prophecy - and sometimes there is a third overlap to create the "mouth of two or three witnesses" to establish every word of God.  Remember, that when it is all said and done, life is  one big legal case.  We are convicting ourselves as we go through our lives and, sadly for me and most others, every minute, word and action will have to be accounted for.  Being such, God provides ample witness both in the heavens and the earth that He lives and that this is His creation and handiwork.  So that the average person who puts all that at naught will have NO excuse - and will have to proclaim that Jesus is the Christ who did the will of our Father in ALL things.  And that no one can return to God's presence - but through Him.

There is to be NO question when all the relevant facts and data are proclaimed and examined.  No one will have a valid excuse - there will be no one for the accuser of the brethren and those who chose to follow him, to point their fingers at.  Thus the banishment, at that point, into Outer Darkness.

Here is a write-up I found on Wormwood - as petrified wood:





Peanut wood is a silicified (petrified) wood, generally of a black colour with numerous borings, which were made by a marine wood-boring bivalve or clam, called Teredo.
This petrified wood was named peanut wood by the first people who found it, because they obviously thought that the light coloured areas resembled peanuts.
These light coloured areas are what used to be boreholes in the original wood. Before the wood was petrified, it was washed into the ocean as driftwood.
It was then attacked by the Teredo's (another name for these little clams is shipworm).
They bore a small tunnel into the wood and eventually the entire piece can be riddled with boreholes.
When the wood became waterlogged, it then sank to the bottom of the ocean and settled into the mud. The boreholes then filled with the light coloured radiolarian sediment. Some time later, petrification began.

The wood is of several varieties, the main ones being "Araucaria"...a conifer and podocarp.
It is found along the edges of the Kennedy Ranges about 100 miles inland from the coastal town of Carnarvon, Western Australia.
The geological formation that it occurs in is called "Windalia Radiolarite". The age is Cretaceous.....which makes it around 120 million years old.
