I’ve become inured to the shock, of seeing Biblical prophesy come to life. Paving the way for the armies of Armageddon. What I’ve not become inured to, is amazement at people who are otherwise Christian, who do not or will not see. Must be Replacement Theology, clouding their judgment.
That the way might of the kings of the east might be prepared.
In the infancy of the Christ, the wise men of the East, also called kings in the Psalms, came to offer homage to the kingly child. The prophecy implies that when this obstacle is removed, the way of the inhabitants shall be opened.
The drying up of the Euphrates will, in some manner, open the way for those that are signified to come to Christ, as those of the old did to the manger.
16:12 And the sixth poured out his phial upon the great river Euphrates - Affected also by the sixth trumpet. And the water of it - And of all the rivers that flow into it. Was dried up - The far greater part of the Turkish empire lies on this side the Euphrates.
And here the phial, poured out on the throne of the beast, is immediately followed by that poured out on the Euphrates; that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared - Those who lie east from the Euphrates, in Persia, India, and c., who will rush blindfold upon the plagues which are ready for them, toward the Holy Land, which lies west of the Euphrates
I’ve not become inured to, is amazement at people who are otherwise Christian, who do not or will not see. Must be Replacement Theology, clouding their judgment..EXACTLY.
Which is also biblically prophetic...
Titus 1:10-16 (New American Standard Bible)
10(A)For there are many (B)rebellious men, (C)empty talkers and deceivers, especially (D)those of the circumcision,
11who must be silenced because they are upsetting (E)whole families, teaching (F)things they should not teach (G)for the sake of sordid gain.
12One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, “(H)Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13This testimony is true. For this reason (I)reprove them (J)severely so that they may be (K)sound in the faith,
14not paying attention to Jewish (L)myths and (M)commandments of men who (N)turn away from the truth.
15(O)To the pure, all things are pure; but (P)to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their (Q)mind and their conscience are defiled.
16(R)They profess to know God, but by their deeds they (S)deny Him, being (T)detestable and (U)disobedient and (V)worthless (W)for any good deed
Drought is no doubt an unheard of situation in the thousands of years worth of Syrian history. Furthermore, the flow of the Euphrates has been a constant over the millennia, it hasn’t gone up and down with shifting weather patterns and agricultural usage. Although I have become inured to the shock of seeing otherwise intelligent Christians unquestioningly pick out bits and pieces of prophecy whenever they see the slightest similarity to the events around them.
. . . more likely . . .
the Deceivers from hell
using REPLACEMENTARIAN theology
to neuter otherwise functioning neurons between their ears.
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.
Exactly. There are none so blind who WILL NOT see.
