Significance of the Euphrates River Drying Up

There is a quiet murmur on the interwebs. The Euphrates River is nearly dry. A note of fear and trepidation seems to linger in those surprisingly few articles and videos for a sensationalised world. No matter whether you believe in Christ, or God, or in Bible prophecies, it’s etched into our minds because on some deeper level we all know that God is going, regardless of our current belief, to…

Rivers have personalities. Some calm down with age, winding ponderously across fertile plains and meadows; others become bitter, surging with rage, tumbling through steep gorges; while yet others remain agitated and confused till the end. No two rivers are alike. The Tigris is, and has always been, “the mad one,” “the swift one.” Not like its twin, the Euphrates, which, having a gentler disposition, courses at a slower pace, taking its time, absorbing its surroundings as it passes by. These two mighty currents—though both spring from the womb of the Taurus Mountains in Turkey and run parallel for most of their lengthy peregrinations until they perish together in the Persian Gulf—are strikingly dissimilar—much as two siblings can be very different, despite sharing the same parents.

Euphrates, Othniel, Babylon

written by Will Schumacher

I posted on the number 4 a few years back. It is consistently associated with dividing one thing from another. The 4th Hebrew letter is dalet and its pictograph is a door. A door separates what is inside from outside. The physical created world is also depicted by the number 4.

In the Bible the number 4 seems to represent the separation of the physical world.

The first “4” in the Bible is in Genesis 2:

Genesis 2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

The 4th river is the Euphrates.

Genesis 2:14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

God later tells Abraham the Euphrates is the edge of the Promised Land.

Genesis 15:18 In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

So, the number 4 is about dividing the physical, and the 4th river, the Euphrates is the physical dividing line on the east of the covenant Promised Land. What is further interesting about the Euphrates is that it went through ancient Babylon. Its like God is painting a picture of His people on one side of the Euphrates and on the other is Babylon/not His people.

The New Testament mentions the Euphrates twice and only in the book of Revelation. The second time it is mentioned is a reference to how Cyrus conquered Babylon. His army dug channels to divert the Euphrates and they entered through the dried up river bed. Cyrus is a type of Christ.

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.

Strong’s G2166=Euphrates. Strong’s H3566=Cyrus. The following verse is interesting because it is verse 2166 with a gematria of 3566. Many see “him” as Christ.

Exodus 23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

Strong’s H6578=Euphrates. Verse 6578 is about Othniel:

Judges 3:9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

Othniel is also a type of Christ. He defeats a king of Mesopotamia. Babylon was located in Mesopotamia.

Judges 3:10 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the Lord delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.

I posted on Othniel awhile back.

Joshua 15:15-17 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher. 16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. 17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

Kirjathsepher means “the city of books”. Othniel means ”the lion of God”. He is from the tribe of Judah. Achsah means “anklets” or “fetters”. She is in bondage.

So we have the Lion of God from the tribe of Judah taking a city of books and marrying someone who was in bondage. We have the New Testament picture of this in the book of Revelation. This is the only time Jesus is called a lion in the Bible. The book is the book of life:

Revelation 5:1-5 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

This story of Othniel is a picture of the completed redemption work of Jesus and thus as king sitting down at the right hand of the Father as the owner of the Church/book of life. Jesus as the lion refers to His Kingship. The lion is called the king of the jungle/beasts.

Othniel is Strong’s H6274.

Verse 6274 from the end of the Bible. Perfect match.

Mark 15:2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.

Jesus defeated “Babylon” on the cross and will again permanently defeat Babylon at His coming.

Babylon is described in Revelation 18 as being full of the “unclean”. Strong’s G169 is used twice in this verse, once as ”unclean” and once as “foul”:

Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

The first verse in the bible with a gematria of 2166 matching the Strong’s number for the Euphrates is about the clean vs unclean:

Leviticus 11:47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.

Jesus uses “eating” as a metaphor for doing God’s will.

John 4:32-34 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. 33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? 34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Leviticus 11:47 is verse 3045. Strong’s H3045=”know” as used in the tempting of Adam and Eve. They also “ate” and believed the lie that they could know good from evil:

Genesis 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Strong’s G3045=”dainty” is used in Revelation referring back to the story of Adam and Eve and man not being able to discern good from evil apart from God.

Revelation 18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

As I said earlier Othniel is a type of Christ being the lion of the tribe of Judah defeating a king of Mesopotamia/Babylon. His Strong’s number is H6274. There is only 1 verse with a gematria of 6274 in the Old Testament and it is again about the clean vs unclean:

Deuteronomy 14:7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.

It would seem that obedience to the law of eating clean vs unclean is akin to relying on God to define that which is good and that which is evil. The children of God are wise in that they rely on God to define good vs evil and Babylon is full of the unclean because they have decided for themselves what is good vs evil in their own eyes

Al-Ma'mun set up an Iraqi Inquisition* to bully other scholars into agreeing, but a few hard-core clerics ignored his threats and insisted that the Koran, God's own words, trumped everything – including al-Ma'mun.

*As was mentioned earlier, historians generally switch from the Greek name Mesopotamia to the Arabic name Iraq for the lands between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers with the seventh-century Muslim conquest.
