live, far away from the impact zone. It will kill just about all life within hundreds and even thousands of miles.
Dust and dirt and gases will be kicked up into the atmosphere, blocking out the sun, likely across the earth for
many months. Let us take a look at a different comet that collided with Jupiter.

Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 (formally designated D/1993 F2) was a comet that broke apart and collided with Jupiter in July
1994, providing the first direct observation of an extraterrestrial collision of solar system objects. This generated a large amount of
coverage in the popular media, and the comet was closely observed by astronomers worldwide. The collision provided new information
about Jupiter and highlighted its role in reducing space debris in the inner solar system.

The meteor showers associated with the Jacob’s comet seems to remind us of the brimstone used in the
destruction of Sodom in Lot’s time. Lot escaped to the town of Zoar during Sodom’s destruction.

Genesis 19:22-25 “Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore
the name of the town was called Zoar.

23 The sun had risen over the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
24 Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven,
25 and He overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what
grew on the ground.”

Genesis 19:28 “and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the
valley, and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land ascended like the smoke of a furnace.”

It was the city of Zoar that was saved from the Wrath of God during Lot’s day. It will be Jordan that will be
saved during the End Times according to Daniel. Unlike Sodom’s and Gomorrah’s brimstone and fire
destruction, the heavenly event is not to destroy the earth with fire, but to pollute the waters and make them
bitter or poisonous upon the earth. There is a description in scripture of poisonous fruit in the land of Sodom
and from the fields of Gomorrah that tasted bitter. This is venom of the serpents and deadly poison.

Deuteronomy 32:32-33 “For their vine is from the vine of Sodom,

And from the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes are grapes of poison, Their clusters, bitter.

33 “Their wine is the venom of serpents, And the deadly poison of cobras.”
