The humanitarian crisis caused by the decade-long civil war in Syria is worsening as the Euphrates River, the longest river of Western Asia, is drying up.
According to one rabbi, this is the realization of a prophecy from the Book of Jeremiah.
The Euphrates River
Originating in Turkey, the Euphrates flows through Syria and Iraq to join the Tigris in the Shatt al-Arab, which empties into the Persian Gulf. This year, rainfall in southern Turkey where the Euphrates begins was the lowest in 30 years and for the past two years, the region has received only 50-70 percent of normal rainfall. Syria is currently facing its worst drought in 70 years.
The 1,700 mile-long Euphrates is the main source of drinking water as well as powering three hydroelectric plants that produce electricity for about three million people in Syria. Two dams in northern Syria face imminent closure which would leave about three million people without any access to electricity. The water level at the Tishrin Dam, the first into which the river falls inside Syria, has dropped five meters and is currently about ten centimeters above “dead level” when the turbines stop producing electricity.
The sources of the river lie in Turkey and an agreement between the two countries in 1987 allowed an annual average of 500 cubic meters per second of water to cross into Syria. In recent months, that amount has dropped to as little as 200 cubic meters per second.
Some experts believe that Turkey is using the water crisis to exert a political agenda. Much of the path of the Euphrates inside Syria lies inside the northeastern region of the country which is controlled by the semi-independent Kurds which Turkey considers to be a terrorist organization…

We are not to Revelation 16 yet…but we could be close. Watch and Pray!
Exactly the verse I was thinking of upon reading the headline.
THEN the Lord will come and snatch us outta here like a thief and after that, all hell will break loose including Rev. 16.
We should be occupied with letting our lights shine that whosoever will, will come and take refuge while there is still time. Great reward for them and us by doing so.

Turkey’s Dam-Building Could Create New Middle East Conflict
https://www.maritime-executive.com › editorials › Nov 6, 2019 — Turkey’s dam and hydropower constructions on the Tigris and Euphrates are estimated to have cut water to Iraq by 80 percent since 1975.
Won’t be the first time it dries up.....happened before when droughts in Syria and Iraq happened over the years.
Sorry, but I disagree. This is a man made problem. Turkey is dam building and diverting water upstream which is causing this. Not the Almighty.
Climate change AND the unvaxxed!
The new MSM talking points.
</sarc>
(Except sadly, this IS what to expect VERY SOON out of the MSM 'talking heads', worldwide! Even worse, millions, if not billions, will believe this!
Those damn fraidy cats.
What is causing Mexico City to sink?
https://strangesounds.org/2021/09/water-crisis-mexico-city-video.html
(Has this happened before?)
Bkmk
The prophecy is from over 2,000 years ago and they looked back 70 years at droughts and proclaimed this the worst?
Ha. Ha. Ha.
Very funny.
Why is Mexico City is sinking?
Short answer is because it sits on top of a massive aquifer which provides the city with all of its drinking water but it is being drained faster than it can replenish itself. Thus leaving a massive open area beneath the city that the water would normal provide buoyancy for. Add to that the fact that Mexico City sits on top a very active fault along with an active volcano in the city and it’s a recipe for disaster.
The same reason the central valleys of Ca are, as is Phoenix AZ.
Draw the water out, and the ground settles.
Doesn’t say how the river dried up. Just that it dried up. Certainly looks like it could be manmade.
But there must be something more than meets the eye to this since it brings the whole world to a final gathering at the Valley of Meggido. (Keep in mind, the world’s population at this point is a fraction of what it is today because of the disappearance of the church and the many mega worldwide slaughters up to that point, so a world meeting in the Valley of Meggido could be plausible.)
She said it wasn’t prophecy from revelation. It’s what will happen though
Thank you, I’ve done the reading.
I didn’t say there was anything wrong with the prophecy. The article is silly.
I agree. I just posted because of the significance of the River drying up.
