Might this have anything to do with their plot to burn off the Oil?

Or the Lava?

OMG Guys, the BP flower which resembles a sunflower or any number of tens of thousands of other flowers (almost excluding the hundreds of species of Artemisia, which it looks almost unlike, actually) It MUST be the 'wormwood' referred to in the Bible! (even though it looks almost nothing like the flowers produced by hundreds of genus associated with wormwood).

And, you know what else? The word "wormwood" comes from Middle English "wormwode"... get it? English! BP is an English Company!
And here's the real kicker! Artemisia has 9 letters, and England has 7 letters! 9+7 = 16. British Petroleum has 16 letters! OMG OMG!

Clearly there is nothing left to do now than head to our bunkers, cover ourselves in tin foil, and hang ourselves with our own underwear. The end is nigh!

No it's not!

Think this is a close match.


Waiting to see how this flower is the new harbringer of death and destruction.

I think trying to figure out what "wormwood" is and isn't is unimportant. It could be like a paradox where whatever fulfills that prophecy and kills 1/3 of the sea and turns the waters red IS wormwood regardless of its relationship to the plant or the meaning of the word. That's what it is called in the Bible so whatever fulfills it we will call it wormwood even if there's no other reason to call it that. Basically, someone just already named it before it happened. Then again you would think it is called that for a reason that would make sense but maybe not.

Just a possibility.

and obviously far too early to tell if it will kill 1/3 of the sea

and aren't these prophecies supposed to happen in order? I think there are many before this one that don't seem like they have happened.

I call Bull on this one. If anything it's a small coincidence. No prophecy in the Bible has ever came true. The bible has been "debunked" time and time again You are just looking for an excuse to convert people. Religious groups love disasters like this!

Actually I think " a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea" is the deepwater rig itself.

Imagine you saw an oil rig on fire and sinking a thousand years ago, you might call it a mountain. But hey who knows thats just my take on it.

I have a few wormword plants (scientific name Artemisia, and also known by the name of mugwort) growing in one of my gardens. They are not currently flowering, so I can't supply any pictures, but they don't look anything like the BP logo.

There are about 200+ different species of Artemisia though, so a google search for Artemisia flowers should bring up quite a few pictures of the different variations in their flowers. But on the ones that I have in my garden, they don't resemble the BP logo by any stretch of the imagination.

Perhaps the prophecy does not have aught to do with BPs fiasco...
But the burning rig did look kinda like a burning mountain cast into the sea didnt it?
There is definately a chance the waters will be madfe bitter,
and it sure WILL kill a lot of the creatures of the sea, maybe even more than a third of them if they dont stop this.....

You think me a troll, I asure you i'm not. I am simply open minded to the fact that people may have been warning us about a possible "End time". I guess only time knows the truth.

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:

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.


Here is another image of Artemisia absinthium.

Let's call it a bud, instead of a flower.



In botany, a bud is an undeveloped or embryonic shoot and normally occurs in the axil of a leaf or at the tip of the stem. Once formed, a bud may remain for some time in a dormant condition, or it may form a shoot immediately.

Let's not, because that would be lying.

The flowers (or buds) don't grow from the top:



They grow all the way up the stem.

Well whatever you want to call it surely you don't dispute that it looks like the BP logo?

For the record , I don't adhere to , or follow ANY religious dogma .

That being said , the word 'wormwood' in this verse , translates from the word which means 'undrinkable' , and has no relation to any plant , as far as I can ascertain . Youngs Analytical Concordance .

As do I, Chad.

That plant looks nothing like the BP logo. OP is grasping at non-existent straws.

I'll keep this short as I'm not informed in a professional way.
Good find..the bp logo does resemble wormwood plant.
wonder if the canadian tankers and / or others are taking in the
"oil" and then later when the water is seperated from the oil,
taking what is useful then disposing of the remaining oil/water mix?
got this from a good source but not a professional one etc..
ie: take the oil, any losses other than their own does not matter.
the oil is apparently worth more to them than anything else.
