The end of the World is at hand.
August 24, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Revelation 16:12 "The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East."

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.

This is proof that the Angels are pouring out the bowls upon the World, as prophecized in the Bible. The shrinking of the Euphrates River is a sign of the times.

Well stop wasting your time on here, and get yourself repenting and prepared for the imminent rapture that awaits!

Angels are doing this and not some sort of global warming or ecosystem exploitation?

Why of course not, that would be rational.

Why would I get banned? I'm discussing religion in a religion section of this website.

Your preaching....

Are you saying that this is the first time that this river has dried up in the past 2000 years? And I thought that this was one of the last signs.

Quote:In Revelation 16, the last conflict is described in terms which remind us of the historical defeat of Babylon. As the drying up of the Euphrates had formerly led to the confrontation between Babylon and the kings of the East, so Armageddon is the confrontation between MYSTERY BABYLON and forces God has raised up to destroy the false church.

What happened to all the others then?

I don't know what you're talking about. We already know the world will end in 2012.

Bollocks ... I will give you my car (including shipping it to the US) if you are right!

Oh, I'll need an accurate date (at least one that says when it's over) though!
