"ISIS, the Euphrates River Dam & the Bible"


 
Subject: ISIS , the Euphrates River Dam & the Bible
 
 Mesopotamia, one of the most ancient areas of human civilization, has always been defined by its two great rivers, the Euphrates and the Tigris; how ironic that these life-giving sources could potentially also be the vehicle of the country's doom.
 
Control of water is seen as key to the viability of the fledgling caliphate declared by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Without water, seasonal droughts cannot be managed, electricity cannot be generated, proper sanitation practices are near impossible and the local economy grinds to a virtual halt.
 
ISIS now controls some key waterworks on the Euphrates and Tigris rivers and is trying to win control over others – rivers, dams and desalination plants. 
 
The ISIS has two objectives: on the one hand, they want to drown the areas surrounding Fallujah, but the sudden attack by the [government] army foiled that plan; on the other hand, they want to cut off water supply to the central and southern governorates in order to give their war a sectarian dimension.

REVELATION 9:4  Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
 
REVELATION 16:12  And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
