The water level
in the Euphrates River in northeastern Syria is so low that five million people may be
left without access to safe drinking water.
There was a moment when the strip of land between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers,
in the Middle East, was so lush as to earn itself the nickname of "fertile crescent".
So, what does this mean for humanity's fate?
The drying of the Euphrates is significant both biblically and scientifically.
Many Christians are keeping an eye on the Euphrates River, which is virtually dry and
has a Bible verse related with it that mentions four fallen angels after it has dried up.
Strange sounds and tunnels beneath wrecked land formations accompany these biblical revelations.
So, is the historical Euphrates River drying up because of the imminent fulfilment of the
passages in Revelation, or is there another reason we should be aware of?
And are these tunnels where fallen angels are imprisoned, or are they simply forgotten
underground passageways of the ancient Mesopotamian empire?
Stick around till the end to get all the answers.
The civilization of Ancient Mesopotamia grew up along the banks of two huge rivers, the
Euphrates and the Tigris.
The peoples of Mesopotamia relied on these rivers to provide drinking water, agricultural
irrigation, and vital transportation routes in the midst of a huge desert.
Over centuries, the flood pulse of the Euphrates and Tigris left the southern plains of what
is now Iraq with the richest soil in the Near East.
For 3,000 years the peoples of Mesopotamia maintained a significant degree of cultural
unity, even though politically they were much more fragmented.
The rulers of various regions—Sumer, Akkad, Babylonia, and Assyria—dominated Mesopotamia
as a whole at one time or another.
During periods of great political unity, rulers extended their influence beyond the two rivers,
ruling surrounding territories and controlling the Near Eastern trade routes.
The Sumerian and Akkadian kings of the late third millennium BCE made the first known
attempts at creating large-scale empires.
The river, which stretches for 1740 miles, is regarded as Asia's longest.
The river flows from Turkey to Syria, Iraq, and Turkey before joining the Persian Gulf.
However, the Euphrates River is in peril; the river is significantly smaller than it
was a few years ago as a result of Iraq's neighbors Turkey and Syria's water policy,
a two-year drought, and years of abuse by Iraq and its farmers.
There are also two passages in the Bible that foretell the Euphrates River's eventual drying
up.
God pronounces judgment against Babylon’s officials and wise men and against its false
prophets, warriors, horses and chariots, and treasures.
Then God says, “A drought on her waters!
They will dry up.
For it is a land of idols, idols that will go mad with terror” (Jeremiah 50:38).
The waters of Babylon are the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.
Both rivers are drying up now.
Is this the fulfilment of Jeremiah's prophecy?
This prophecy was most likely fulfilled by military action when the Persian ruler Cyrus
invaded Babylon in 539 BC.
According to the Greek historian Herodotus, Cyrus diverted the Euphrates' water sufficiently
to allow his army to enter through the conduits beneath the city walls, or the prophecy will
be fulfilled during the great tribulation, which corresponds to the sixth bowl judgement
of Revelation 16.
The Euphrates River's drying up has also revealed several ancient ruins and a cave.
Some see the drying river bed as a fulfilment of the Bible's end-of-the-world prophecies.
However, a video has recently emerged from this location that is both intriguing and
disturbing for many people.
Have the four Fallen Angels trapped beneath the Euphrates River's waters been recorded?
What about the sounds of the Scorpion-like Beast expelled from the Earth when the bottomless
pit in Revelation 9 is opened?
A video purporting to show archaeologists working at the dried-up Euphrates River location
was recently made public.
The video also claims to have captured voices of Fallen Angels or demons imprisoned within
the bottomless pit.
We must underline that these sounds could be made up, and this is far from proof, especially
given we only have one video.
We do, however, know that there are four angels that are bound at the Euphrates River, and
that once they are unchained, they will slay one third of men with 200 million Horsemen.
This is something we've learned from the Bible.
Many individuals have questioned the veracity of the sounds from the pit, but everyone agrees
on the location of the strange tunnel beneath the riverbed, which could house the Fallen
Angels referenced in the Bible.
Who are the imprisoned Fallen Angels beneath the Euphrates?
The identity of the Angels beneath the Euphrates is known from Revelation chapter 12:7-9.
According to the Bible: “Then war broke out in heaven.
Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought
back.
But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.
The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads
the whole world astray.
He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.”
The Four Angels under the Euphrates are certainly members of the Fallen Angels that were cast
down with Satan, according to Revelation 9.
When you read Luke chapter 10 verse 17, Revelation chapter 12 verse 7 to 9, and Jude chapter
1 verse 6, you will see that some of the Fallen Angels, who were part of the one-third of
angels decided by the devil, were not allowed to roam freely on the earth like the others
but were instead chained or bound until the appointed time.
It is likely that these imprisoned angels were violent and could imperil humanity's
existence, thus God had to imprison them.
The Four Angels of the Euphrates are unmistakably among the chained angels.
They will be unleashed from the Euphrates, according to Revelation chapter 9, to fulfil
biblical predictions that call for the smiting of one-third of the Earth.
Everyone should be aware that everything going on in the Euphrates indicates that the rupture
is imminent, so we must serve the Lord with passion because we are in the latter days.
Instead, when we consider this in conjunction with the numerous prophetic signs converging
on our time, it serves as a marker of where we are prophetically, which should strengthen
our faith in God's Word and encourage us as our blessed hope approaches.
However, what is the scientific reason for the river's drying up?
Although the situation is complicated, climate change, conflict, and indiscriminate dam construction
in neighboring countries have all contributed to a water crisis that threatens the livelihoods
of millions of people in the region.
According to water ministry research, the Euphrates and Tigris rivers in Iraq will run
dry within two decades if nothing is done.
Regrettably, these two rivers provide up to 98% of Iraq's surface water supply.
Iraq could become a land without rivers as early as 2040.
According to Berkeley Earth, a non-profit climate research organization based in California,
Iraq's annual temperatures are rising at roughly twice the global average.
Since the late 1800s, the world has warmed by an average of 1.3 degrees Celsius, while
Iraq has warmed by an astounding 2.5 degrees Celsius.
The human-made component of the Euphrates' problems, on the other hand, begins more than
1000 kilometers upstream in Eastern Turkey, below the Taurus Mountains.
The Turkish government has been building dams for years in order to generate electricity
and develop agricultural land.
The Keban Dam on the upper Euphrates was completed in 1974, and the Ataturk Dam in 1990.
A 32-billion-dollar project to build 22 dams and 19 hydroelectric plants on the Tigris
and Euphrates rivers will supply roughly one-quarter of Turkey's electricity in the long run.
Meanwhile, Syria built the Tabqa Dam upstream from Raqqa in the 1970s, as well as a few
other dams on the Euphrates and its tributaries before the Civil War.
Since the Turkish and Syrian dams were built in the 1970s, water flow into Iraq has been
reduced by roughly two-thirds.
For decades, Iraqis fought with both neighbors over its fair share of the water.
When Turkey and Syria channeled the Euphrates River into a series of reservoirs, effectively
drying out the river's downstream stream in Iraq, the conflict was on the verge of escalation.
As a result, the Iraqi government built a canal network that connected the Euphrates
River to Lake Al-Tharthar northwest of Baghdad.
According to the Iraqi Ministry, the Euphrates River will only be filled to one-third of
its original capacity by 2035.
When combined with the loss of Tigris water, Iraq will fall short of 80 percent of its
annual consumption of 53 million cubic meters.
Furthermore, a recent NASA and German government satellite study found that, with the exception
of India, the Tigris Euphrates loses groundwater the fastest.
The World Resources Institute, a non-profit environmental organization based in the United
States, has identified Iraq as one of the countries that will face extremely severe
water stress by 2040.
The people of Iraq are already feeling the effects of the Euphrates' drying up.
According to relief organizations, Iraq's current water crisis is already threatening
the lives of at least 10 million people and limiting access to food and energy.
Wheat output in northern Iraq could fall by up to 70%.
To improve the situation, the irrigation system would need to be completely overhauled, which
could cost between $60 and $80 billion; money that the suffering nation simply does not
have, implying that starvation is on the horizon.
Aside from that, as dams fail, electrical supply decreases, affecting hospital operations
and other critical infrastructure.
Is the current situation the result of climate change and regional politics, or do you believe
Bible prophecies are being fulfilled?
