According to a report released today (Dec 5, 2023), NASA is tracking over 20,000 asteroids that have the potential to smash into Earth, causing catastrophic damage, the Daily Caller reports.

Most of these 20,000 have broken free from a massive asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter. It is composed of millions of asteroids, and several of them are mountain-sized.

Having broken free from this menagerie of asteroids, some of them are now heading in Earth’s direction.

While NASA believes that most will ultimately pose no problems, not all of them will be harmless.

According to the Apostle John’s vision of end-times events, a mountain-sized asteroid will slam into one of the Earth’s oceans during the Apocalypse, causing catastrophic damage (Revelation 8:8-9).

And staying with the mountain theme, last year a group of Chilean scientists reported that there is a massive asteroid lurking in our inner solar system.

Our inner solar system is classified as that region of space closest to the sun composed of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

Called 2022 AP7, with the first number indicating the year it was first discovered, the asteroid is 1.5 km in diameter and its orbit crosses through Earth’s orbit around the sun.

Because of its precarious position in our inner solar system, researchers are only able to observe this particular asteroid during two ten-minute windows each night.
