Euphrates River to Be Dried Up ü
In   revelatIon  16:12, the bIble predIcts that the euphrates rIver wIll be
drIed up  to prepare the way for the kings of the East to invade Israel. This
will happen at the time of the battle of Armageddon according to verse 16 of
the same chapter. The battle of Armageddon will be the final battle at which
time Jesus will return and fight on the side of the nation of Israel. Immediately
thereafter He will establish his kingdom and usher in his one-thousand year
reign of peace. On January 13, 1990, the Indianapolis Star carried the headline
“Turkey Will Cut Off Flow of Euphrates for One Month.” The article stated
that a huge reservoir had been built by Turkey. While filling up the reservoir,
the flow of the Euphrates would be stopped for one month and a concrete
plug for a diversion channel built. These things have now been done. With this
newly built dam, Turkey has the ability to stop the Euphrates River at will. The
conditions for fulfilling this 1,900 year-old prophecy are now in place.

China Goes to War ü

our Social Security number. In the past few years, we have seen this number
extended to newborns. A child without a Social Security number cannot be
declared as a dependent on an income tax return. We have seen the emergence
of electronic money, shopping with credit cards, and many people actually
urging the abolishment of cash. All of these things could not possibly have
been fulfilled until this present time. Only after the invention of the computer
could such a worldwide numbering system be administered.

The Emergence of a New World Order ü
revelatIon    13:7 and danIel 7:23 prophesy the establIshment of a world
government.     The term “New World Order” has become a prevalent phrase
in the world’s political culture. Mikhail Gorbachev made the term famous,
and Pope John Paul II referred to it repeatedly. In the September 12, 1990
issue of the Chicago Tribune, our former president George Bush said, “Iraq
is the first test for the New World Order.” He emphatically stated that the
Iraq War was Saddam Hussein against the world. The United Nations’ troops
are continually referred to as the multi-national forces. The decision has been
made to establish an interdependent community of nations that will rule the
world under United Nations authority. The Bible says that this will lead us into
a great world government. The formation of this government is at hand.

Coincidence or Divine Providence? ü
Is It coIncIdental   that all of these major prophecies pertaining to the last
times are being fulfilled simultaneously? Hardly!

  nally intended for Israel to be His wife, but he put her away be-
  cause she committed whoredom.
     Now He has turned to the Gentiles to take out a bride for
  his name’s sake. Referring to the church as the bride of Christ
  and also as the body of Christ has to be understood in spiritual
  terms. Can the millions of Christians individually be the bride of
  Christ, as we tend to think of it? Of course not. Not only are we
  called the bride and the body of Christ, but we are also called
  His children. All of these terms describe different aspects of our
  spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ.

  • 2. † Proof † we are living in the endtime Euphrates River to Be Dried Up ü In revelatIon 16:12, the bIble predIcts that the euphrates rIver wIll be drIed up to prepare the way for the kings of the East to invade Israel. This will happen at the time of the battle of Armageddon according to verse 16 of the same chapter. The battle of Armageddon will be the final battle at which time Jesus will return and fight on the side of the nation of Israel. Immediately thereafter He will establish his kingdom and usher in his one-thousand year reign of peace. On January 13, 1990, the Indianapolis Star carried the headline “Turkey Will Cut Off Flow of Euphrates for One Month.” The article stated that a huge reservoir had been built by Turkey. While filling up the reservoir, the flow of the Euphrates would be stopped for one month and a concrete plug for a diversion channel built. These things have now been done. With this newly built dam, Turkey has the ability to stop the Euphrates River at will. The conditions for fulfilling this 1,900 year-old prophecy are now in place. China Goes to War ü In revelatIon 9:15-16, the bIble prophesIes that an army of 200 mIllIon M soldIers wIll launch a war which will kill “the third part of men.” Never in the history of the world until our present generation has there been a power any have stated that it on earth that could field 200 million soldiers. However, the late ruler of China Mao Tse Tung boasted in his diary that he could field an army of 200 million. is impossible to know The CIA World Factbook reported that, in the year 2001, it was estimated that whether or not we are living China had 200,866,946 men of military age and that this number is growing by 10 million per year. in the last days before the Second Coming of Jesus Worldwide Numbering System Predicted ü Christ. However, there is In revelatIon 13, the bIble prophesIes that a world dIctator wIll soon rule over a world government. He will cause all people on the earth to receive dramatic proof that we are a number without which they will be unable to buy or sell. We are seeing this prophecy fulfilled before our eyes in a most astonishing way. Nearly every living in the endtimes – proof human being in the world has now been assigned a number. In America, it is that defies coincidence. our Social Security number. In the past few years, we have seen this number extended to newborns. A child without a Social Security number cannot be declared as a dependent on an income tax return. We have seen the emergence of electronic money, shopping with credit cards, and many people actually urging the abolishment of cash. All of these things could not possibly have been fulfilled until this present time. Only after the invention of the computer could such a worldwide numbering system be administered. The Emergence of a New World Order ü revelatIon 13:7 and danIel 7:23 prophesy the establIshment of a world government. The term “New World Order” has become a prevalent phrase in the world’s political culture. Mikhail Gorbachev made the term famous, and Pope John Paul II referred to it repeatedly. In the September 12, 1990 issue of the Chicago Tribune, our former president George Bush said, “Iraq is the first test for the New World Order.” He emphatically stated that the Iraq War was Saddam Hussein against the world. The United Nations’ troops are continually referred to as the multi-national forces. The decision has been made to establish an interdependent community of nations that will rule the world under United Nations authority. The Bible says that this will lead us into a great world government. The formation of this government is at hand. Coincidence or Divine Providence? ü Is It coIncIdental that all of these major prophecies pertaining to the last times are being fulfilled simultaneously? Hardly! 02 endtime magazine september & october 2005

Referring to the church as the bride of Christ and also as the body of Christ has to be understood in spiritual terms. Can the millions of Christians individually be the bride of Christ, as we tend to think of it? Of course not. Not only are we called the bride and the body of Christ, but we are also called His children. All of these terms describe different aspects of our spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ.
