Euphrates is drying up

[Brother Ben]

The Euphrates River is drying up. To the archeologists this is a great occurance. They have found many treasures that have been under water since Sadam started a project to dam up the river as a resevoir back in the 80's. It is interesting the bible speaks of this event also.

Rev 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.

I do not think in any way we are at this point of prophetic history, but did think it was very interesting. Also, the Quran speaks of the Euphrates drying up notice their writings:

* "Soon the river Euphrates will disclose the treasure [the mountain] of gold. So, whoever will be present at that time should not take anything of it." — Sahih Bukhari.

* The Prophet Muhammad said: "The Hour will not come to pass before the river Euphrates dries up to unveil the mountain of gold, for which people will fight. Ninety-nine out of one hundred will die [in the fighting], and every man among them will say: 'Perhaps I may be the only one to remain alive'." — Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim.

* The Prophet Muhammad said: "The Euphrates reveals the treasures within itself. Whoever sees it should not take anything from it".[5]

* "It [the Euphrates] will uncover a mountain of gold [under it]." — Sunan Abi Da'ud.

I'm not giving any validity to the Quran only making mention that other religious groups have written on these topics also, usually with varied outcomes or relevence.

These are only "look ups" for us to take notice of, for our redemption draweth nigh.

Rev 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.

Quote:The receding waters of the Euphrates River have revealed ancient archaeological sites, some of which were unknown until now.

I thought the quotes from the Quran were interesting too.

Quote:* "Soon the river Euphrates will disclose the treasure [the mountain] of gold. So, whoever will be present at that time should not take anything of it." — Sahih Bukhari.

* The Prophet Muhammad said: "The Hour will not come to pass before the river Euphrates dries up to unveil the mountain of gold, for which people will fight. Ninety-nine out of one hundred will die [in the fighting], and every man among them will say: 'Perhaps I may be the only one to remain alive'." — Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim.

* The Prophet Muhammad said: "The Euphrates reveals the treasures within itself. Whoever sees it should not take anything from it".[5]

* "It [the Euphrates] will uncover a mountain of gold [under it]." — Sunan Abi Da'ud.



Quote:It's an unexpected discovery, but on the heels of their elation comes concern.

Ratib says he is worried the area will be looted. In all of Anbar, just 10 guards protect vulnerable archaeological sites.

"The area is rich with things. You can find jewelry, coins and documents — all these things are temptations for professional thieves," he says.

"The river level is very low, it's the lowest it has ever been that we can remember," says fisherman Sa'ad Naji. "It's frightening. The fishermen have no work anymore."

The river here is only about 3-to-4-feet deep. Sa'ad says strange structures now jut out of the water. He points to what looks like a stone arch that stands crumbling, lapped by muddy waves. He says those aren't the only things archeologists have discovered.

"About a year ago when the waters started to recede, these artifacts began to show up. We began looking around the area, and we found clay jars and old bones, coins and even some gold jewelry," he says.


I wonder if they will find a mountain of gold....gold jewelry, expensive artifacts, maybe ''gold in them there hills''...liturally...who knows (God of course) but it will be interesting to see what happens.



Quote:In the mid-1980s, Saddam Hussein's government dammed the Euphrates in the area, flooding a 120-mile-long stretch of land near Iraq's border with Syria.

What once was an enormous reservoir that stretched as far as the eye could see has shrunk an astonishing 90 percent since summer, officials say.


90% since summer....Wow! that's alot!

Very interesting to say the least.
