the Deceivers from hell
using REPLACEMENTARIAN theology
to neuter otherwise functioning neurons between their ears.
“The Turks are stopping its water in their territory, so that Syria and Iraq are receiving a declining portion of the water. “
What would happen to the Mississippi River if Minnesota put up a damn to restrict water flow down the Mississippi River to the Gulf stream? Wouldn’t that result in a declining portion for all those states below?
Name another occasion, of the Euphrates drying up, eclecticEel. The written history of mankind is at it’s oldest in exactly this region, so certainly you can provide evidence.
Biblically speaking, this occurred only once previously, allowing Cyrus and his armies to invade Bablyon, again in accordance to prophecy, from centuries before.
Minnesota would float away... or become a lake..
As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
And Jesus answered them and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. “For many will come in my Name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. “You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.
“For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes, “But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Matthew 24:3-8
And in the Gospel of Luke Jesus says, “There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Luke 21:25-26
It’d result in large swathes of Minnesota being under water, barring some reduction in flow. It’d also be a very wide dam.
Only some will recognize the *Signs*
Jesus told them a parable: “Behold the fig tree and all the trees; as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near.
“So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near. “Truly I say to you, that this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
Not long ago we were told there were tens of thousands of Iraqis who fled to Syria.
Haven't heard much about the Euphrates River drying up in Iraq.

Going back to the throne of the beast, though, what significant event accounts for that, prophetically?
We have been in the End Days since Jesus left, however the LAST DAYS has to do with the FINAL GENERATION and prophecy which is why prophetically we can see this system of things coming to a final close with the return of our LORD Jesus Christ...
Ten years ago Syria was in a “crisis” over water aqnd ten years from it will likly be in a “crisis” over water.
I read that Saddam encouraged both Syria and Turkey to make free with the upstream water, the better to dry up the Southern Marshes.
He just did not give a damn.
There was a drought thousands of years ago that ended the Sumerian Empire. It lasted two hundred years.
I would like to continue this conversation but right now I have to leave and get my kid who is stranded with a flat tire.
The Kurds have the problem of being split between Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. For over 2500 years they have either been divided as regional minorities in other countries or swallowed up in an Empire (Persian, Alexandrian, Roman, Byzantine, Caliphate or Ottoman). They have lived a tragic national history, even when they have succeeded as individuals (Saladin).
Yes, I understand. This may sound strange, the way I’m going to phrase it, but once and future has played a prominent role in Biblical prophesy. That’s not as obvious and pedantic as it might seem at first; there’s a cycle of repetition in events. What was, is to be again. Many examples of this, as in the days of Noah, etcetera. We could have a very rare glimse of future history, by taking the “mystery” out of Mystery Babylon, here. Immediately preceding this event, a vial is to have been poured out upon the throne of the beast. What is or was that, and how could we have missed it? I certainly hope it’s not a forest for the trees situation, but what was, is, and what is, is.
A can of Fix-A-Flat is cheap and handy, for those who don’t know how to put the spare tire on, SatinDoll.
Self ping for mañana.
Or they just listen to Christ's words, telling us explicitly that NO one can know when the time will come. People trying to interpret contemporary events as part of prophecy have done this for almost 2000 years. They were and are all wrong. If you want to take the Bible at it's word... you won't know it until after the fact.

No one will know the exact date and time, but the season will be known to those who keep watch. The signs of the times are provided to us by the Bible for a reason, SolidWood.
