Revelation 16:12


12 Then the sixth [angel] emptied his bowl on the mighty river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to make ready a road for [the coming of] the kings of the east (from the rising sun).

Here we see that the Euphrates River will be dried up for the Kings of the East to come to the battle. There is no mention of 200,000,000 million soldiers here. Jesus only shows John that there are king’s from the East here, not just a king! So is this China? It could be. But ask yourself this question, would China need the Euphrates River to be dried up to come to battle? America didn’t need the Euphrates River to be dried up when it went into Iraq. The U.S. armies just went over it. America’s technology and China’s technology is that advanced. But for the Kings of Iran, Iraq, and the other surrounding nations, they would need the Euphrates River to dry up. They would need it to be dry to allow millions of radical muslims, who are possessed by demons, to all come and attack at once. 

What is revealed to us in verse 12 is that the Euphrates River dries up. We are told by John repeatedly that the earth is scorched and the waters are ruined and so it makes since that the Euphrates River would dry up. This allows the warriors of many nations to easily come to Jerusalem to battle the children of God. You think that radical muslims hate Jew’s now, just wait till Israelis are filled with the Holy Spirit and one with Jesus!

Remember too, I speak of China here because all of my life I have heard that this passage of scripture is referring to China, that it will be almost impossible to travel by conventional means during this time. Air travel will be all but eliminated with all of the dust and smoke in the air. There will be so much dust that a 1/3rd of the Sun will be darkened, Revelation 8:12. Traveling by ship will be impossible because a 1/3rd of all of the ships will have been destroyed, Revelation 8:9. Food and water will be scarce, so feeding 200,000,000 warriors will be all but impossible. So to think that it will be China seems to me to be unrealistic, especially when we are told that King’s come, not just a King.
