First consider this from wikipedia-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
99942 Apophis
(pronounced /??po?f?s/, previously known by its provisional designation 2004 MN4) is a near-Earth asteroid that caused a brief period of concern in December 2004 because initial observations indicated a relatively large probability (up to 2.7%) that it would strike the Earth in 2029.

Additional observations provided improved predictions that eliminated the possibility of an impact on Earth or the Moon in 2029. However there remained a possibility that during the 2029 close encounter with Earth, Apophis would pass through a gravitational keyhole, a precise region in space no more than about 400 meters across, that would set up a future impact on April 13, 2036.

This possibility kept the asteroid at Level 1 on the Torino impact hazard scale until August 2006. It broke the record for the highest level on the Torino Scale, being, for only a short time, a level 4, before it was lowered.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So this is an asteroid that could potentially strike the earth in either 2029 or 2036.

Then consider this from Revelation -

Rev 8:10 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
Rev 8:11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

This sounds like an asteroid strike that occurs in the great (final 3 1/2 years) tribulation.

If this possible asteroid strike is the same one described in the book of revelation then one could suppose that the tribulation would either begin or end 2000 years from the cross.
With the 2000 yr anniversary on approx 2030.

For instance with the final 7 yr period or Trib beginning in 2023, asteroid strike in 2029 and the end of the trib in 2030 or.....

with the trib beginning in 2030 and the asteroid strike in 2036 with the end coming in 2037.

This would give the world from 15 to 21 years to descend into war and reform into the 10 kingdoms of the new world order system of the Antichrist.
----------------------------------------------------------

No one knows the hour or day of Christ's return, but this points to the possible year of the Tribulation period.
Scripture says there would be signs and wonders in heaven.

Act 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Act 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

-----------------------------------------------------------
I'll head one off at the pass.
You say no, since it is named Apophis and not Wormwood.

Can you imagine the panic if they named it Wormwood?

I don't think so. The star that fell is symbolism, not an actual star. It is like the star that fell in Rev. 9 with the key to the Abyss, which opened it and released oppressing spirits. This already happened. May I send you a copy of my book? See my signature. Send me a mailing address by Private Message.

You are better off thinking 2000 years, two days, since Jesus' resurrection. That also gives you the one-third of 6000 years, and one-third streams of bitter waters. The six days are 6000 years of men's work.

The idea of a seven-year or three and a half year period is not associated in the Bible with tribulation.

It is best not to focus on years. The war isn't over until we win.
The Antichrist system is already in place. No need to look for a future tribulation, it started before 70 AD. "Great" trib means "Long" trib, as great distance means long distance.

The Antichrist is a spirit.
See 1st John 2:8. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour.
AND
1st John 4:3. and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

BUT, we win, tangibly. We have already won spiritually:
1st John 4:4. You are from God, little children, and have overcome them [antichrist spirits]; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

When we believe the above, we will DO the above. "Greater things than these will you do [while] I am gone to the Father." John 14:12

Scripture says there would be signs and wonders in heaven.

Act 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit [of POWER, love, and a sound mind]; and they shall prophesy:
Act 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

Acts 2:15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
