Euphrates River is Drying Up

 The Bible tells us that one day some type of huge army is going to march across the dried up Euphrates River.  It also tells us that some type of demonic entities will be released upon the world that are currently bound by the Euphrates.  The Euphrates is currently drying up for the FIRST TIME EVER.  So when you throw this on top of everything else that is happening in the prophetic world, it's an exciting time!!

Revelation 9:14   It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”

Revelation 16:12  The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.

The region once known as the Fertile Crescent is on the verge of a food crisis as the main sources of water disappear. Officials struggle to cope as a prophetic scenario appears to materialize.

Iraqi officials are reporting that for three consecutive years, the rainy season has begun later and ended sooner than the historic norm. This has been coupled with less water flowing through its two main rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates. The region has also been plagued by ongoing conflict. 

"Desertification now threatens almost 40% of the area of our country - a country that was once one of the most fertile and productive in the region," Iraq's President Abdul Latif Rashid told the climate summit in Egypt last week.

Nadhir Al-Ansari, professor at Sweden's Lulea University of Technology, told Reuters that rainfall in Iraq had declined by 30% over the past three decades, with the lowest precipitation coming in the last two years.

"What was once known as the Fertile Crescent started to die about 35 years ago," he said.

Officials accuse Turkey of cutting the river's flow upstream over the last two years to half the level it committed to in a 1987 accord, a claim the Turkish government denies. 

In the year to September, rainfall in southeast Turkey where the rivers originate was 29% below the average of the previous three decades, according to Turkey's meteorological agency. Dams and drought have reduced the waters of the two rivers to about 20% of previous levels. 

All these elements combined have led to a food crisis in the region. Almost 90% of rain-fed crops, mostly wheat and barley, failed this season, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Iraq.

Remember how God tells us he destroys countries?  A major way is to just shut off the water and people are destroyed by famine.  If you can't eat or drink you die off pretty fast.  90% of the rain-fed crops in Iraq failed this year.  They can't dig wells to irrigate because there isn't any water left in the ground.

What was the fertile crescent is now turning into a desert.
