Spiritually speaking, the drying up of the river is also symbolic for the severed connection or separation to the one who gives life. Our spiritual enemy does not like the chosen people of God (known as the Jews) nor the followers of Christ. This would also include Christians not only Israel. But if we look at the meaning of the drying of the river, spiritually, we can see it can also be applied to many people of different nations that are against the people of God. This is Syria, Iraq, Iran and Jordan to name a few. So if we look at all the countries to the east of Israel we will notice these countries are often recognized as countries which do not get along with them. The scripture in verse 16:12 mentions “ it prepares the way for the kings of the East.” If we look at this in the natural let us first observe where do we find the river Euphrates? It begins in the country of Turkey and travels through to the southern portion of Iraq. The kingdom of darkness has been influencing people to participate in evil and clearly we see it advancing. This is not found in just one part of the world. If we look at our world today we are noticing a growing number of people in favor of evil. The Bible states the waters represent people and a multitude of different speaking nations. There will be a time when we will see a third of men dying for a year, a month, a day and an hour. Please remember that although we may see things occur in the natural we must also observe what would this mean in the spiritual realm? We cannot simply look at this as, “oh the river dried up.” Spiritually speaking what else does this mean? Let us look at what the Bible reveals about water.Īnd he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. So what does this mean for us? Let us read further to understand. Not only may an exact event happened in the past but it can and often times will occur again. This is the reason the Bible is considered alive. Many times events which occurred in the past are shadows of events that will happen in the future. This chapter of Revelation mentions the great river Euphrates would dry up. Read what the Bible says about the drying up of the river.Īnd 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. This is very important because it is mentioned in the book of Revelation. One important event that has caught my eye is finding out the river Euphrates has dried up. We are seeing bible prophesies confirmed before our very eyes which give us a clue about the return of our Lord Jesus. These events can also be linked to the spirit realm. I believe it is very important to be paying attention to what is happening around us in the world these days. Today I would like discuss the river Euphrates mentioned in the Bible.
