The Name of the Star is Wormwood

Revelation 8:11

the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

Anyone else think the BP logo looks like a star?

Now compare the BP logo to the budding flower of the wormwood plant.

Artemisia absinthium (absinthium, absinthe wormwood, wormwood, common wormwood, or grand wormwood) is a species of wormwood, native to temperate regions of Eurasia and northern Africa.

The leaves are spirally arranged, greenish-grey above and white below, covered with silky silvery-white trichomes, and bearing minute oil-producing glands;

Its flowers are pale yellow, tubular, and clustered in spherical bent-down heads (capitula), which are in turn clustered in leafy and branched panicles.

en.wikipedia.org...

The wormwood plant is known for it's ability to produce oil.

Pure wormwood oil is very poisonous, but with proper dosage poses little or no danger.

Edited - post comments:

Wormwood only shows up once in the NIV and yet it shows up multiple times in the King James.

Interesting to note that the word Wormwood only shows up in the new testement once, which could be the reason that it only shows up in the NIV once.

Also interesting to note that Revelation is the only reference that refers to the Star named Wormwood.

The russian word for wormwood is "Chernyobel"

There are reports the oil may now contain natural radioactive elements.

"...And a third of the see turned to blood"

cnn just reported oil may now be 4.2 million gallons a day

The BP logo does NOT look like a star but most closely resembles something flowery, as in your striking comparison with the WORMWOOD plant.

Sadly, the waters (in the Gulf of Mexico and maybe beyond) appear bloody red, too. And if the oil leakage is not stopped or cannot be stopped then 1/3 of the seas and its critters will die.

wow thats spooky. Im going to google wormwood and see what the plant looks like from above. Bizarre!

Here is what BP has to say about their logo:

Our visual identity reflects the revolutionary quality of our business

Our logo was launched in 2000, and was designed as a dramatic break with tradition. It is unlike any other energy identity, and symbolises a number of things - from the living, organic form of a sunflower to the greatest source of energy...the sun itself.

The colours of the ‘Helios’ – named after the Greek god of the sun – suggest heat, light and nature. It is also a pattern of interlocking shapes: like BP, a single entity created by many different parts working as one. This was particularly relevant, as the new brand was launched after a series of mergers and acquisitions. It united all the heritage companies and employees that now make up BP and its global brand.

This is just creepy beyond words...

Gasp! It looks like any number of flowering plants! It must be specifically Wormwood!

You're stretching way too much here. The "third of the oceans" stuff is interesting -- but this is just stupid.

After looking through several pics of wormwood plant this is one of the only ones that resembles the logo. Just think if you saw BP's logo in a prophetic vision two thousand years ago, how would you describe it? Did the island of Patmos have wormwood on it?

Good Post S&F

Nice find.
S+F.
And a crazy coincidence perhaps..?

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Helios:

Helios was imagined as a handsome god crowned with the shining aureole of the sun, who drove the chariot of the sun across the sky each day to earth-circling Oceanus and through the world-ocean returned to the East at night. Homer described Helios's chariot as drawn by solar steeds (Iliad xvi.779); later Pindar described it as drawn by "fire-darting steeds" (Olympian Ode 7.71). Still later, the horses were given fiery names: Pyrois, Aeos, Aethon, and Phlegon.

As time passed, Helios was increasingly identified with the god of light, Apollo. (They are not the same god however). The equivalent of Helios in Roman mythology was Sol, specifically Sol Invictus.

And then this:

The best known story involving Helios is that of his son Phaëton, who attempted to drive his father's chariot but lost control and set the earth on fire.

It is an interesting connection.

Still later, the horses were given fiery names: Pyrois, Aeos, Aethon, and Phlegon.

The four horses of the apocalypse maybe?

ZOMG!

Sunflowers can be used to make oil too!!!

Sunflower oil is the non-volatile oil expressed from sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seeds. Sunflower oil is commonly used in food as a frying oil, and in cosmetic formulations as an emollient.

It's all connected by TPTB, the NWO and HAARP!!!!

What sort of mockery is this? The Helios and Phaeton connection is quite interesting; while your shrewd attempt to ruin what could be a productive conversation amongst interested parties was amusing at best.

Very nice! I think it's indeed what the prophecy refers to! S&F.

I originally thought 'Wormwood' had something to do with Nemesis, but couldn't find a close match in reference to a brown dwarf and the plant wormwood in any way... Until your suggestion!

The BP logo does look like a variety of wormwood in flower. And since those who made the prophecy could only make a close example of a flower they knew they naturally came up with wormwood, a flower native to their region.

A third of waters indeed... Not the end of the world, but the end for many.

WOW! This is a strange connection. I don't think its a coincidence. Even the MSM is reporting the connections between BP and revelations.

"If followers of the Christian blogosphere are not yet familiar with Revelation 8:8, they soon will be:

'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; 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."

Yeah, I am not exactly sure what your point is, since I certainly made no reference to TPTB, and indeed, I have spent many a post dismissing TPTB, and NWO as nonsense. That said, I am not so sure what is wrong with taking the time to post what BP has to say about their own logo, and then following that up with a Wikipedia article on Helios. Is your problem that I admitted to being creeped out by it? Or is your problem that I took the time to do a little research, as other than admitting to being creeped out I really made no comments about the connection, other than it was interesting. Just want pick a fight do you?

How about the fact that Artemisia absinthium (wormwood) looks nothing like what the OP is attempting to portray.

The image posted is misleading because it has been cropped from a larger, more detailed image, namely THIS ONE.

Also, the OP failed to provide the full description of the leaves.

The leaves are spirally arranged, greenish-grey above and white below, covered with silky silvery-white trichomes, and bearing minute oil-producing glands; the basal leaves are up to 25 cm long, bipinnate to tripinnate with long petioles, with the cauline leaves (those on the stem) smaller, 5-10 cm long, less divided, and with short petioles; the uppermost leaves can be both simple and sessile (without a petiole).

The key words here are bipinnate and tripinnate, meaning the leaves are subdivided as they extend.

This image better illustrates what I am talking about:


And the BP logo for comparison:

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/7c91375754a3.jpg[/atsimg]

There is absolutely NO SIMILARITIES.

EDIT: Just re-read the OP, it seems he is calling the cropped image a flower. It is not a flower, it is young growth on the plant.

The FLOWER of the woomwood plant looks nothing like the the BP logo (see image above) at all.

20 flags for this?!

A new low for ATS.
