This is just like the remnants of Israel, the sons of Jacob, are represented at this time. It is amazing that the
Draconids, the remnant of Comet Giacobini-Zinner, are now known as the remnants of “Comet Jacob.” God has
named all the stars, including comets. *Source: http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Giacobini

Comet Giacobini-Zinner Draconids:

Meteor shower picture taken: by H.
Fukushima, S. Abe, and T. Nakamura on
September 20, 1998 at the National
Astronomical Observatory of Japan. The
Draconids are the remnant of Comet
Giacobini-Zinner. The name Giacobini is
derived from the Hebrew, “Yaakov” or
Jacob, meaning “following-after”.*

Comet Giacobini-Zinner:

The comet experienced seven close
approaches to Earth and two close

Draconids Meteor Shower (NAOJ) approaches to Jupiter in the past.

The comet Giacobini-Zinner is associated with meteor showers named the Draconids. That is why the scripture
says “fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters.” A meteor shower is many objects falling to the earth
which could easily affect the rivers and spring waters on the earth. The scripture says “burning like a torch, and it
fell” is the comet. Even though there may be meteor showers is scripture telling us that the comet will eventually
impact the earth? The angle of trajectory of the comet appears to be coming down onto the earth.

For the most part, a comet is an object in the solar system that orbits the sun. It normally has what is called a
coma (pear-shaped image) or atmosphere as well as a plasma tail. The comet's nucleus is usually made of rock,
dust, and ice. The interesting thing is that comets' orbits are highly variable. First, they are almost always highly
affected by close calls with major planets. Sometimes comets are moved into orbits that destroy them, due to
their nearness to the sun. One of the reasons why comets are so easily moved is because their out-gassing
propels them in mysterious and unpredictable ways. In other words, a comet that is thought not to be a danger to
Earth could conceivably become one with little notice. If the comet strikes in the ocean and you live anywhere
near a coastal region, you're likely to be wiped out by the massive tsunami waves that roll across the ocean. If the
comet strikes a continent, and it's a continent that you live on, the only way you could possibly survive is if you
