And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.
The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
Revelation 16:18 And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20 Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent (100lbs). Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
Revelation 16:12 Then (7) the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river (7) Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the (7) kings from the east might be prepared. (777)

What Should Christians Know about the Euphrates River?
Whitney Hopler Crosswalk.com Contributing Writer 20234 May
The Bible mentions the Euphrates River numerous times. This long river has played an important role in history. It also has spiritual significance. The Euphrates River has fascinating symbolic meaning in the Bible and is mentioned (7) in biblical prophecies about it drying up, as well. Learning about the Euphrates River can help us understand more about God’s power.
Where Is the Euphrates River and Why Is it Important?
The Euphrates River is a major river in Western Asia that flows from its source in Turkey through Syria and Iraq (7) before finally emptying into the Persian Gulf. The river is approximately 1,700 (7) miles long. It has played an important role in the history of the region, serving for thousands of years as a vital source of water for people to drink and irrigate crops, as well as a major transportation and trade route. The Euphrates River was a key factor in the development of early civilizations, such as the Sumerian, Babylonian, and Assyrian empires. It is home to many ancient cities that were once major centers of civilization and culture, including Ur, Babylon, and Nineveh.

23 “And (7) in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” (Daniel 8:23-25)

Its waters were used to irrigate crops, making agriculture possible in arid land. The river was also a key transportation route for people to travel and to trade goods such as timber, precious metals, and textiles. Today, the Euphrates River remains an important source of water for irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, and drinking water for millions of people in Syria, Iraq, and Turkey. However, the river currently faces several challenges, including drought, dam construction, and pollution, which threaten its continued viability as a vital resource for the region.
What Does the Bible Say about the Euphrates River?
The Bible often mentions the Euphrates River as a geographical marker, but it also describes the river’s significance as a symbol of God’s power over the natural world that he has created. The Euphrates River is a complex symbol in the Bible. It reminds us that God exercises both love and judgment. In various verses, the Bible mentions the Euphrates River in ways that speak of both hope and destruction. It is often mentioned in connection with the history and geography (7) of the ancient civilizations it flowed through, as well as in (7) prophetic passages that speak of future events.
In Genesis 2:14, the Euphrates is one of four rivers that flow from the Garden of Eden. This suggests that the Euphrates is a place of fertility and abundance. Genesis 15:18 mentions the Euphrates River as one of the boundaries of the land God promises to Abraham, and Deuteronomy 1:7 and Joshua 1:4 mention the Euphrates when describing the land God promises to the Israelites. Those passages present the Euphrates as a place of hope and promise.
In Isaiah 8:6-8, the Euphrates River serves as a metaphor for God’s judgment for sin. God speaks of allowing the Assyrian army to invade and overwhelm Judah like “the mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates”: “Because this people has rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah and rejoices over Rezin and the son of Remaliah, therefore the Lord is about to bring against them the mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates – the (7) king of Assyria with all his pomp. It will overflow all its channels, run over all its banks and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it, passing through it and reaching up to the neck. Its outspread wings will cover the breadth of your land, Immanuel!”
The prophet Jeremiah foretells (7) in Jeremiah 46:10 that Babylon will be conquered and (7) the Euphrates River will be dried up: “But that day belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty – a day of vengeance, for vengeance on his foes. The sword will devour till it is satisfied, till it has quenched its thirst with blood. For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.” That passage shows God’s control over the land and river he created.
Jeremiah 50:38-39 describes the Euphrates River drying up in the future because of God’s judgment against sin. God declares in those verses: “A drought on her waters! They will dry up. For it is a land of idols, idols that will go mad with terror. … It will never again be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation.”
In Revelation 16:12, the Euphrates River dries up, allowing for evil kings to invade Israel: “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.” That passage suggests the Euphrates is a place of judgment and destruction at that point in history.

What it (7) Means When the Euphrates River Dries Up
The Euphrates River, like all rivers, may dry up for a non-spiritual reason: simply because of people not taking good care of the river’s environment. Spiritually, Bible scholars have offered various interpretations of Bible passages about the Euphrates River drying up. Some see it as a symbol of the decline and fall of the Babylonian Empire, which was a powerful force in the ancient world but eventually lost its dominance. Others (7) see it as a sign of the (7) end times, which lead up to when (7) Jesus will return to judge the world (7) and separate the righteous from the wicked. In that interpretation, the Euphrates River drying up may point to the unleashing of (7) the forces of darkness on the world. It could be referring to (7) when the Antichrist will gather his armies to invade Israel. In that scenario, the dry riverbed (7) of the Euphrates can allow the armies (7) to cross the river and attack Israel. We don’t know precisely when that will happen. But pondering the (7) Euphrates drying up during the end times – whenever that actually takes place – is a sobering reminder (7) that God is in control of history. He will bring (7) judgment on the world for its sin, (7) but he will also protect his people. (7) We can trust in God, even in (7) the midst of the darkest of times.
Ultimately, the biblical meaning of the Euphrates drying up is a matter of interpretation and debate. What is (7) clear, however, is that the image of (7) the river running dry is a powerful (7) symbol of the spiritual dryness that can (7) afflict people who turn away from God. The (7) solution for spiritual dryness is a relationship (7) with God, who is our living water. The Bible refers (7) to God as living water numerous times. Jesus reveals in John 4:14: “… whoever drinks the (7) water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give (7) them will become in them a spring (7) of water welling up to eternal life.” (7) In John 7:37-38, Jesus encourages us: “Let anyone who (7) is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever (7) believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of (7) living water will flow from within them.”
Water (7) splashes God’s life-giving role into our focus, I share in the nature chapter of my book Wake Up to Wonder. God gives us life, sustains our (7) lives, and saves and renews us spiritually. When we think of water – like the mighty Euphrates River – in a spiritual context, we can be inspired by (7) awe at the wonder of God’s work as our living water. Pondering (7) a river like the Euphrates drying up reminds us that we need (7) to stay close to God’s living water to (7) prevent spiritual dryness in our own lives.
Conclusion
The (7) Euphrates River has spiritual significance for Christians because the Bible mentions (7) it in both historical and prophetic contexts. It (7) serves as a symbol of both positive and (7) negative change, and points to God’s power (7) over the natural world he has created. The (7) Euphrates also can inspire us to reflect (7) on the battle between good and evil, as well as (7) the contrast between spiritual dryness and the (7) spiritual fulfillment that God provides through Jesus – who provides (7) the ultimate satisfaction for our spiritual thirst.
Iraq Urges Global Action to Address Tigris, Euphrates Drought
Baghdad: Asharq Al Awsat 09:43-7 May 2023 AD ـ 17 Shawwal 1444 AH
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is calling for swift international action to address declining water levels in the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
Sudani blamed the water crisis on the previous regime, which has led to strained relationships with neighboring countries.
In a speech during the third Baghdad International Water Conference, Sudani said the (7) issue of water security has become a (7) sensitive and important topic for countries worldwide.
The prime minister noted that the “water crisis began in the 1980s, but citizens were not exposed to it due to the hostility of the ousted regime.”
He stated that his administration has placed the issue of water scarcity at the forefront of its priorities.
He acknowledged that the crisis has been inherited from the previous regime, with administrative shortcomings exacerbating the issue.
However, his government has taken steps to implement policies to address the crisis and acknowledge the importance of working collaboratively with upstream countries.
Sudani identified the introduction of modern irrigation methods as a key solution to address the crisis. He emphasized the need to regulate the winter agricultural plan and limit future agricultural plans to farmers who utilize modern irrigation techniques.
The premier highlighted the current government’s efforts to leverage the expertise of advanced countries in addressing the crisis.
The government is committed to exploring innovative solutions, such as seawater desalination. The formation of a high council for water is also a significant step towards effective management of this critical resource.
However, Sudani warned that water scarcity poses a significant threat to Iraq’s cultural heritage and must be addressed urgently.
He underlined the need to prioritize efforts to mitigate or eliminate environmental risks, in order to provide future generations with a sustainable environment.
Productive and constructive dialogue with neighboring countries has been central to addressing the water crisis and ensuring a fair distribution of resources, added Sudani.
Water Resources Minister Aoun Diab highlighted the need to strengthen international relations in order to develop cooperation and solutions for the water crisis.
He (7) emphasized that water is a vital resource (7) for life and is currently at risk.
Diab stressed the significance of diligent work and proper planning as potential solutions to the crisis, noting that the Iraqi government has prioritized efforts to combat climate change and its impact on water resources.
He reiterated the need to strengthen international relations to develop cooperation and create a large platform for finding solutions to the crisis.
But how can they call on him (Jesus Christ) to save them unless they believe in him (Jesus Christ)? And how can they believe in him (Jesus Christ) if they have never heard about him (Jesus Christ)? And how can they hear about him (Jesus Christ) unless someone tells them?” —Romans 10:14
