The warning signs that are presenting themselves are very clear; hence the posts I’ve made titled: Are You Ready for The Coming Perfect Storm?, and Are You Prepared for Turbulent Times Ahead?

Apparently the prophesy of Revelation 16:12 is taking place and will test our strength (all Christians) and our faith in the Lord, by bringing intense fear of the Islamic Nations throughout the world.

No matter how much we want to believe that we here in the USA are not or will not be effected, we must heed the Word of God and prepare for what He has planned for us.

While checking my RSS feeds today, I am humbled by the most recent post at Joel Rosenberg’s “Epicenter” blog titled: EUPHRATES RIVER DRYING UP: New York Times notes connection to Book of Revelation and the End Times.

‘”The front page of Tuesday (July 14, 2009) morning’s New York Times had a stunning headline: “Iraq Suffers as the Euphrates River Dwindles.”

The drying up of this historic river in the land of ancient Babylon is so stunning, that even the Times had to note that Bible prophecy says this will happen in the “last days” of history, in the lead up to the apocalyptic battle of Armageddon described in the Book of Revelation.

Excerpts from the Times story: “Throughout the marshes, the reed gatherers, standing on land they once floated over, cry out to visitors in a passing boat. ‘Maaku mai!’ they shout, holding up their rusty sickles. ‘There is no water!’ The Euphrates is drying up. Strangled by the water policies of Iraq’s neighbors, Turkey and Syria; a two-year drought; and years of misuse by Iraq and its farmers, the river is significantly smaller than it was just a few years ago. Some officials worry that it could soon be half of what it is now. The shrinking of the Euphrates, a river so crucial to the birth of civilization that the Book of Revelation prophesied its drying up as a sign of the end times, has decimated farms along its banks, has left fishermen impoverished and has depleted riverside towns as farmers flee to the cities looking for work.”’
