Instead of Wormwood being a great Star from outer space, Wormwood (Accursed; Anathema Maranatha), says the commentary in the Geneva Bible, is a Minister and/or Pastor of the, quote, “Church of Christ”, unquote. 

This is a blog of my personal Bible study.  I truly enjoy studying the gospel of Christ and hope you do too and will enjoy this study.  Please note:  most of the study material in this blog comes from a Bible which is older than the King James Version, "The Geneva Bible".  I usually write and immediately post my Bible study while still studying, so don't be surprised to see errors, typing and otherwise.  I also update the Bible study from time to time as I continue my study.  This study comes from the book of Revelation.

 

II TIMOTHY 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. HEBREWS 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. II TIMOTHY 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17), if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead (Romans 4:24); But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:8-9).

 

LUKE 10:
  18    And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

  19    Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

  20    Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven (KJV).

 

According to the Bible, Revelation 8:10-11, “a great star called Wormwood” falls from heaven and corrupts the waters. Quote, “And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter (Revelation 8:10-11)” Unquote: The Holy Bible, KJV.  

However, according to commentaries (comments) in an older Bible Version, "The Geneva Bible of 1599", Revelation 8:10-11, of which you can view at  www.GenevaBible.org, that “great star” is not what some may think or say it is, instead of Wormwood being a great Star from outer space, Wormwood (Accursed; Anathema Maranatha), says the commentary in the Geneva Bible, is a Minister and/or Pastor of the, quote, “Church of Christ”, unquote.  The Pastor is said to corrupt the Scripture with false doctrine, thus corrupting many people (waters), yes, the Apostle John defines people as being the waters.  People (waters) swallow (believe) Wormwater's false doctrine which deceives many waters (people).  Then, deceived Stars (Pastors and/or Ministers) become Angels (Pastors and or Ministers) of darkness (Locusts), spreading Wormwood's false doctrine (the sting) all over the world, thus battling and/or working against the true body of Christ, thus keeping souls dead, and thus doing the work of the Devil to deceive people about the gospel of Christ concerning the doctrine of salvation.

Quote, "Revelation 8:10 (7) Then the third Angel blew the trumpet, and there fell (*) a great star from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell into the third part of the rivers, and into the fountains of waters.

(7) The third execution upon the floods and fountains, that is, upon all fresh water, in this verse; the effect whereof is, that many are destroyed with the bitterness of waters, in the verse following.

(*) That is, some excellent minister of the Church, which shall corrupt the Scriptures.

11 And the name of the star is called (8) Wormwood; therefore the third part of the waters became wormwood, and many men died of the (*) waters, because they were made bitter.

(8) This is spoken by Metaphor of the name of a most bitter herb, and commonly known, unless perhaps a man following those that note the derivation of words had rather expound it adjectively, for that which by reason or bitterness cannot be drunk, or which maketh the liquor into which is poured more bitter than that any man can drink the same.

(*) Which here signify false and corrupt doctrine.

That reminded me of what I read in the New Testament,  the Apostle Paul says he spreads the gospel of Christ (Galatians 1:8-9) without charge (1 Corinthians 9:15-18; 1 Timothy 6:10-11) and says to follow him (1 Corinthians 11:1) as he teaches and preaches the doctrine he received by revelation (Galatians 1:12) from Christ Jesus (Matthew 8:22).
