NASA has shockingly claimed Earth sits in a “shooting gallery” of asteroids and comets that could “lay waste to the whole planet”.

 big enough to wipe out the human race lurk in the depths of  and  is yet to find them all. The dire asteroid claim was made this week by NASA’s podcast host Leslie Mullen. Ms Mullen hosts NASA’s On a Mission podcast, where she discussed the threats of asteroids.

An episode of the podcast published on October 8 focused on asteroid impacts and NASA’s ability to spot them before certain cataclysm.
Speaking to guest astronomer Greg Leonard, Ms Mullen said NASA does not know of any imminent danger.
But undiscovered “monsters lurking in the dark” could threaten to flatten the Earth.
Ms Mullen said: “Movies like ‘Armageddon’ depict a massive asteroid hitting Earth, causing widespread destruction and chaos.

“Huge rocks falling from the sky could take out a city, a nation or even lay waste to the whole planet and that can feel like the universe is out to get us.
“Daily headlines that scream about asteroids coming too close to Earth encourage this paranoia.
“The truth is, our planet is in the middle of a cosmic shooting gallery.
“Asteroids fly by and the Earth is hit every day with hundreds of tonnes of dust grains and small rocks.”
When a six-mile-wide (10km) space rock struck the planet 66 million years, the impact wiped out two-thirds of life on Earth.
Scientists estimate the killer asteroid triggered a nuclear winter of sorts that ended the reign of the dinosaurs.

Since then, many smaller asteroids have pelted the planet.
In 2013, for instance, an undetected 65.6ft-wide (20m) space rock exploded in the skies over Russia’s Chelyabinsk Oblast.
According to Ms Mullen, the resulting shockwave blasted windows “into millions of flying glass shards” and “knocked some right off their feet”.
More than 1,500 people were injured by the sudden asteroid strike.
Ms Mullen said: “The small rocks from space do little to no damage. It’s the big ones we worry about.

“And there are big asteroids out there, monsters lurking in the dark, large enough to take us out.
“Currently, none of the really big asteroids are headed for us. But we haven’t found them all.”
For the most part, the Earth is protected from minor asteroids and space rocks by its atmosphere.
Any space rock up to 82ft (25m) across is expected to burn up before hitting the ground.
But incidents like the 2013 Chelyabinsk strike prove some asteroids slip past Earth’s defences.

Mr Leonard, an astronomer with the Catalina Sky Survey, said on the podcast: “Chelyabinsk was 20 meters.
“That is small compared to what we are looking for. And that produced a large shock wave in the upper atmosphere. It was a pretty serious event.
“But, we see now that these relatively smaller asteroids can be quite dangerous.
“So, we are wanting to up our game and find asteroids of all sizes.”

EVENTS BEFORE THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD

  Events Before The Second Coming Of The Lord. Brethren, I want to thank God Almighty the one who sees the end from the very beginning...the revealer of secrets...may his name be praised forever more in Jesus Christ's name. January 31 2023 Given to Sister Loveth Nwokeohuru On the 31st of January 2023, very early in the morning I had this dream, I woke at exactly 10 minutes past a.mam. The Dream: It happened that I belonged to a group of Christians who were being persecuted for the sake of Christ...I don't know what happened but I saw that we were thrown into the prison and the condition in the prison was very terrible...the place was dirty and uncomfortable. As we were there, we were all praying and asking the Lord, "When are you coming to deliver us from these sufferings"? We all knew that at any time, any of us could be called out and that would mean the end for that person. As we were sitting there, a man walked in and called on me...at that moment, I knew th

Another Plague/Pestilence?

-
 Greetings brethren, thank God for another revelation, may his Holy name be praised! I had this dream on the 13th of November 2023 I saw that we were outside, and suddenly,  I saw this swarm of insects/bees... There were so many. They were moving towards the sky and as a result of these insects, a part of the sky became darkened. It was a very horrific thing to behold. People were running trying to find safety.  In that dream, I knew that the swarm of bees or insects that I saw meant that a plague was coming, a plague of pestilence.   In that dream when I saw what was happening,  I remembered my younger sister and my mother, I quickly ran to go and warn them to get into the house and shut the door. I saw my mum trying to call some other people... I told them to leave whatever they were doing and come inside the house to avoid the plague that was coming.  Please brethren, I want us to understand that ever since 2020, the world has changed,  we are now in a New Era. The powers that be ar

The Trumpets Are Sounding

-
  September 2023 Given to Sister Loveth Nwokeohuru Greetings my brethren, I am so grateful to God for the opportunity to share this message.  It was the first week of September when I just come back from the hospital, I had a dream where someone was explaining the Trumpets to me in the book of Revelation. These were the physical signs that I was told: 1. Rivers turning into blood 2. Wildfires And as the person wanted to mention other signs, the cry of my child woke me up. A few days later, I saw a video that popped up on my phone that said: "Rivers Are Turning Red All Over The World". I was shocked, I knew that it was a confirmation of the dream I had about the Trumpets. The Seven Trumpets In The Book Of Revelation: Revelation 8:2-6 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with th
