The Euphrates River dries up, a mysterious tunnel has been revealed. The river,
the cradle of human civilization, is drying up. The Euphrates River finally dried up and something
amazing happened. These are just some of the headlines that have flooded us in recent years.
But the biggest sensation is far from what we will find buried under the ancient river.
The most incredible fact about what is happening is rooted in the fact that even thousands of
years ago it was written that this event would happen, and with such details that literally make
us cringe. A cursory example is found in the Old Testament. There, the Euphrates River is described
as an extremely important means of support for Israel's enemies - Assyria and Babylon.
The river runs through Babylon and is important to the city because it irrigates crops and
provides water for the people. Babylon cannot survive without the Euphrates.
Revelation 16:12: "The sixth angel poured out his bowl
on the great river Euphrates, and its water dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the East."
This verse is part of a larger narrative about the seven bowls of God's wrath being
poured out on the earth. The drying up of the river is believed to be a
symbolic representation of the removal of the barriers that prevent the forces of evil from
gathering for the final battle known as Armageddon. The "kings of the East" are
sometimes interpreted as the armies or forces that will take part in this climactic conflict.
Could it be that we are on the verge of witnessing the Second Coming of Jesus Christ? It's a
troubling possibility that more and more religious scholars are telling us we need to consider.
The Euphrates and Tigris rivers made their way through present-day Syria and Iraq, eventually
emptying into the Persian Gulf. These rivers nourished ancient civilizations for millennia,
giving birth to the cradle of human history in Mesopotamia. The Euphrates River is even
mentioned in the holy scriptures, as the river supplied water to the Garden of Eden.
A 2021 United States government report predicted that this vital river would dry up by 2040.
Could this be a mere coincidence, or is there a deeper, prophetic
meaning behind these events? - We are looking for the answers in this video!
The earliest mentions of the Euphrates come from cuneiform texts found at Shuruppak and
Nippur in southern Iraq. They date from the middle of the 3rd millennium BC. In
these texts written in Sumerian, the Euphrates is called Buranuna.
The way the river is spelled shows that it was considered divine.
In Sumerian, the name of the city of Siparv in modern-day Iraq contains the same cuneiform
sign used as a designation for religious names of deities and related concepts,
indicating the historically strong connection between the city and the river.
The Euphrates is the longest river in Western Asia. It originates from the confluence of the
Kara Su or West Euphrates and the Murat Su - East Euphrates upstream from the city of
Keban in southeastern Turkey. Dowdy and Frenken set the length of the Euphrates from the source
of the Murat River to its confluence with the Tigris at 3,000 kilometers (1,900 mi),
of which 1,230 (760 mi) are in Turkey, 710 (440 mi) in Syria, and 1,060 (660 mi) in Syria in Iraq.
Early occupation of the Euphrates basin was confined to its upper reaches, that is,
the area known as the Fertile Crescent. Acheulean stone artifacts have been found in the Sajur
Basin and El Kowm Oasis in the central Syrian steppe, along with remains of Homo erectus,
which have been dated to 450,000 years old. In the Taurus Mountains and the upper Syrian
Euphrates valley, early permanent villages such as Abu Huraira were originally inhabited
by hunter-gatherers, but later the earliest agriculturalists emerged here.

NASA satellites closely monitor the processes of drying up of this historic
river for mankind. Back in 2013, they found that since 2003, the Tigris and Euphrates
basins have lost a staggering 144 cubic kilometers of water. As Jay Familietti,
a hydrologist and professor at the University of California, notes, "The data show an alarming
rate of decline in total water storage in the Tigris and Euphrates river basins,
which currently have the second-fastest rate of groundwater loss on Earth after India."
What does it all mean? Are we witnessing the fulfillment of biblical prophecy,
or is this just a sobering reminder of the consequences of a changing climate?
The Euphrates River has been at the center of human history for centuries,
and now it is drawing our attention again as it dries up before our eyes.
It is difficult not to worry about the future development of the situation.
After all, the lives of millions of people connected to these rivers are at stake,
and if they continue to dry up, the consequences could be dire. The professor continues:
"After the drought in 2007, the rate of drying started to become monstrously fast.
Meanwhile, the demand for fresh water continuesd to increase, and the region does not coordinate
its water management due to different interpretations of international laws."
As tensions rise and water resources dwindle, the region is on the brink of disaster.
The problem is already affecting the people and currently many of
them are losing their lives due to the drying up of the river.
A report in the British Medical Journal highlights the increasing prevalence of
clean water emergencies in Iraq. A field coordinator at the Tigris
River Protection Association in Iraq told the publication: "Diarrhea, chicken pox,
measles, typhoid and cholera are currently spreading in Iraq due to the water crisis."
While reason often leads us to take Bible prophecy with a grain of salt,
what is happening to the Euphrates River may indeed signal a monumental shift in the region.
As rivers dry up and tensions escalate, we can't help but ask:
What future awaits the millions of people who rely on these ancient waters?
The Bible predicts that the Euphrates River will dry up and make way for the mysterious "kings of
the East" to pass through. The vast river, which stretches more than 1,800 miles long
and 300 meters wide, has long been a formidable barrier and a vital source of life in the region.
But who are these "kings from the East"? Biblical scholars and theologians hotly
debate this question. One compelling hypothesis suggests that they represent
the rise of China and other Asian nations as powerful political and economic powers.
Most impressive is an intriguing prediction recorded in Revelation 9:16-18:
Eastern kings will command a staggering army of 200 million men. Interestingly, at the time
the book was written, the entire population of the world did not even reach that number!
Yet today only China has such a large army - just as predicted in the Bible.
Regardless of their exact identity, the Eastern kings are undoubtedly significant
players in the end times, destined to take part in the climactic battles before Jesus returns.
One thing is certain, however: to reach the fabled valley of Armageddon,
this colossal force must first pass through the Euphrates River.
After all this, one can't help but wonder if we are witnessing
ancient prophecies unfolding before our eyes.
Some believe that this is a clear sign that Jesus' return will take place in the coming years.
Matthew 24:44 reminds us of this: "Therefore be ready also,
because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect."
Euphrates also appears with one of the seven
angels whose trumpets herald the approach of the final judgment.
"Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates," ordered а voice
тоthe sixth angel of God. The angel obeys and releases the agents of death, who are
prepared and ready "at this very hour and day and month and year" to destroy a third of mankind.
You can find a detailed video about the 4 angels chained to the Euphrates River in our channel.
In Chapter 9 of Revelation, John speaks of the leader of the army of locusts unleashed upon
mankind, known as Abaddon in Hebrew and Apollo in Greek. Intriguingly, both names mean "destroyer",
which is one of the meanings of the name Saddam.
"The fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth.
The star was given the key to the Abyssal Shaft. When it opened the Abyss,
smoke as the smoke of a giant furnace rose from it. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke
from the Abyss. And out of the smoke, there came down upon the earth locusts, which were given
strength like the scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth,
nor any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have God's seal on their foreheads.
They were not allowed to kill them, only to torture them for five months. And the torments
they endured were like those from the sting of a scorpion. In those days men will seek death,
but they will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
These locusts had as king over them the angel of the abyss,
whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek Apollo.
According to Irwin Baxter,
founder of Endtime magazine and pastor of Oak Park Church in Richmond, Indiana,
"Iraq fits like a glove" - the apocalyptic descriptions. He foresees a key role for Iraq,
which will lead to the end of the world, due to the ongoing conflicts with the United States.
However, Craig Hill, professor of New Testament at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C.,
expresses concern about such interpretations. As an expert in biblical scholarship,
he argues that end-time theorists often manipulate Scripture to make it conform to their views.
Although they claim to read the Bible "literally," they
often select passages from very different historical contexts.
Hill, explains that interpreters of prophecy often conflate verses from sources to support their
views. In doing so, they ignore the intricate tapestry woven by the biblical testimony.
For now, the only clear thing is that more than once in the ancient religious writings the river
Euphrates is mentioned, and in a way that is not particularly favorable for us. Are the scriptures
and prophecies correctly interpreted? Will we humans today be able to deal with this natural
problem we are facing? Will there be a judgment at all? Apparently, we are yet to find out!
