REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Two - The RIver Euphrates Dried Up - Continue

 In ancient Babylon's heyday, the abundant waters of the Euphrates were a major part of her defense system. In 539 B.C.E.  those waters dried up when they wer diverted from their course by the Persian leader Cyrus. Thus, the way  was open for Cyrus the Persian and Darius the Mede, the kings from "the rising of the sun" (that is the east), to enter  Babylon and conquer it.  In the hour of crisis, the river Euphrates failed in the defense of that great city.  (Isaiah 44:27-45:7; Jeremiah 51:36)   Something similar is due to happen to modern-day Babylon, the worldwide system of false religion.
