Just a small portion of the whole for your study.
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.

Dam on the Euphrates River in southeastern Turkey, the centerpiece of the Southeastern Anatolia Project. The Ataturk Dam is the largest in a series of 22 dams and 19 hydroelectric stations built on the Euphrates and Tigris rivers in the 1980s and '90s in order to provide irrigation water and hydroelectricity to arid southeastern Turkey. Completed in 1990, the Ataturk Dam is one of the world's largest earth-and-rock fill dams, with an embankment 604 feet (184 m) high and 5,971 feet (1,820 m) long. Water impounded by the dam is fed to power-generating units at Sanliurfa that have a capacity of 2,400 megawatts. From there the water is gravity-fed to vast irrigation networks in the Harran Plain and elsewhere in the vicinity.

More pieces of the ambitious 141,204-kilometer Asian Highway network slotted into place this month as Vietnam completed its section linking Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar. Do Ngoc Dung, vice director general of the My Thuan Project Management Unit (PMU), announced completion of the work. The US$144.77 million construction bill was partly financed by the Asian Development Bank.
The $44 billion Asian Highway network weaves through 32 countries, connects Asia with Europe, and promises to boost regional economies by facilitating trade and tourism through its linkage of Asian seaports, airports and major tourist destinations. It also fleshes out dreams of a Pan-Asian community with a common socio-political-economic identity analogous to the European Union.
Conceived in 1959, the Asian Highway took off with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) promoting it more ardently in the past two decades. A big breakthrough came in April 2004 when 23 Asian countries signed the Asian Highway agreement in the 60th session of UNESCAP at Shanghai.
The young Asian Highway system has the potential to have a socio-economic significance in this century that equals or surpasses what the historic Silk Route had in ancient times.

The People's Republic of China (PRC) is seen by many as an economic powerhouse with the world's largest standing military that has the potential to translate economic power into the military sphere. As one of the elements of power, a nation's military potential is based not only on its capability to defeat an adversary, but also its ability to coerce and exercise influence. China's standing armed force of some 2.8 million active soldiers in uniform is the largest military force in the world. Approximately 1 million reservists and some 15 million militia back them up. With a population of over 1.2 billion people, China also has a potential manpower base of another 200 million males fit for military service available at any time.
Scripture: Revelation 9:14 to16...Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand (translates to 200 million), and I heard the number of them.

i imagine people have requested an similar question via each significant wars, yet we've been handling to unravel issues and keep the steadiness. The non secular wars, wars over land and supplies, possibility of a warfare as an ultimatum are all not something new, and we've got guns which have the flexibility of nuc. with out the radiation fallout and somewhat precise. With the great ability like US expertise its duty of that ability and the international communities stressful scruples of humanity, i'd favor to imagine that inspite of the psychotic idiots obtainable, we've sufficient sanity between the human race to verify our survival. (I do have self belief, even if, that individuals such as you asking those questions help a lot in reminding people to imagine about their moves and outcomes. So, keep up the sturdy artwork.)

Think of the countless millions who were tortured and murdered in the first half of the 20th Century by Stalin, Hitler et al. If there was going to be a 'rapture', why not then? Today is paradise compared to what happened then. The 'rapture' is all just superstitious nonsense.
