2. Many have stated that it is impossible to know whether or not we are living in the last
days before the second coming of Jesus Christ. However, below you will find dra-
matic proof that these are the endtimes. The proofs below defy coincidence.
Euphrates River to Be Dried Up 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 head-
line “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 In Revelation 9:15-16,
the Bible prophesies that an army of 200 million soldiers will launch a war which would kill “the third part of men.”
Never in the history of the world until our present generation has there been a power on earth that could field 200 mil-
lion soldiers. However, the late ruler of China, Mao Tse Tung, boasted in his diary that he could field an army of 200
million. The CIA World Factbook reports that in the year 2001, it is estimated that China has 200,886,946 men of mili-
tary age, and this number is growing by 10 million per year.
Worldwide Numbering System Predicted In Revelation 13, the Bible prophesies that
a world dictator will soon rule over a world government. He will cause all people in the earth to receive a number with-
out 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 human being in the world now has been assigned a number. In America it is our Social Security num-
ber. 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 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 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 has 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 is 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.
or Divine Providence?
Is it coincidental that all of these major prophecies pertaining to the last times are being fulfilled simultaneously?
Hardly.
