Did you know the Euphrates River is drying up? Its in the news. Jesus is coming soon.
Revelations 16:12 - And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Its the fact that we are in the book of Revelation. Nothing more, nothing less. As far a Jesus coming soon. He has to be, in order for the saints to return at his 2nd coming in ;Huh? So you believe Christ is coming BECAUSE the physical Euphrates River in the Middle East is literally drying up? Really?! Do you actually think this is what God is talking about? Or do you need to be spiritually discerned in order to understand what He is talking about? For example, what does the river Euphrates often represent in Scripture? What does water represent in Scripture? Why is it drying up? And who are the kings of the East?
Let's see if you can research the REST of the Scripture, and compare Scripture with Scripture to find out what God talks about in Revelation. instead of allowing the prophecies to be interpreted by the world report.

Thousands of years ago, a river might impede an army crossing over; but today there are bridges, planes and who needs boots on the ground with missiles? Of course if there was a nuclear war, e.m.ps. would fry the electronics in any vehicles and planes, which would then leave them with no choice but boots on the ground. ?Huh?

Used to play tennis, a good game. Don't worry, you should be able to fit in a few more games before the end comes!Hold your thought, I will respond when I have time tonight. I am going out to play pickleball.
Don't know about that. Depending on where one lives today in the U.S., some say they won't even go out to check their mailbox without being armed.Used to play tennis, a good game. Don't worry, you should be able to fit in a few more games before the end comes!
We are told in scripture to try the spirits because many false prophets have gone out into the world. We are also told that a false prophet is one that denies Christ came.
I believe the beast and false prophet relate to denying God and could manifest in governments.

Some of these elect army of kings of the east then get pregnant, nurse infants, work in fields and are told to not go home, his house being local, to take anything with them when they flee to the mountains.Now, I have some time to explain lightly on Revelation 16 if anyone like to understand it better from a spiritual perspective. Revelation 16 is NOT prophesying about national Israel in the Middle East with a literal river in the East as most thought. God is not talking about the red Chinese army coming to invade national Israel here. Rather it prophesies about God's Church, the New Testament representative of God's Kingdom.
Rev 16:12-16
The Great River Euphrates signifies the SPIRITUAL borderline of New Testament Israel, the Church, that separates God's people from the people of the world. It being dried up signifies that it no longer exists as a border guard for the church. For example, the church is no longer protected by God for her unfaithfulness. The river Euphrates often seen by God as border for Israel.
- And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Genesis 15:18
Here, the great river Euphrates is signified as a border marker for the covenant Israel.
- "In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:"
Deuteronomy 11:24-29
If they obeyed the commandments of God, and if not, they would be judged. The drying up of the Euphrates signifies a way for enemy armies to come across to destroy the unfaithful congregation which signifies spiritual Judea. At the same time, God has prepared the way for His Kings of the East to FLEE Judea as we read in Matthew 24:15-16. The Kings of the East are God's army of chosen Elect who can see the abomination of desolation and witness the judgment of the whore.
- "Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
- There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
- Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
- A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
- And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
- And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal."
Why do we have so many who have no idea about the subject matter.
Just like in the post above, we read about the confusion of the poster and how mixed up the story is that he is trying to tell.
The Beast in Rev 13:1-10 are the four beasts of Daniel 7:2-12 working together in unison after the 1,000 years.
Some of these elect army of kings of the east then get pregnant, nurse infants, work in fields and are told to not go home, his house being local, to take anything with them when they flee to the mountains.
15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the [c]elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
