one of the guys at work told me he read in the bible that in the end times a river somewhere in the world is supposed to dry up. This will be a sign the end times are near. I can't recall ever reading anything like this. Can anyone tell me were in the bible this might be.

The reference is Rev. 16:12, also a verse Rev. 9:l4.
This reference is deep into the tribulation, near the end.
Watch Israel not the river. What happens to Israel and the temple mount marks the beginning of tribulation.
The Bible predicted the return of Israel to the Holy Land. They are there now with the same language, the same coin, the same religion and their own state. The odds of this happening are astronomical.
They are now beginning to water and populate the desert in the south; which is also a prophecy coming to pass. They have completed making all the vessels, hooks, musical instruments, and fixtures needed for rebuilding the temple. They have even completed the garment for the high priest.
I have heard rumors here in America that the stones for the new temple are already cut. This is not the time to be looking to some future because the future is now.
You can get the temple status at www.templeinstitute.org. You will find that the Sanhedrin just recently called for preliminary architectural work to begin on the third temple.
They don't say this, but a third temple and the Mosque of Omar are in conflict for location. If the Mosque of Omar goes, and you and I are still here; a dry river bed running through Bagdad is going to be the least of our worries.

I believe this is the Euphrates that is mentioned in Rev. 16:12. You may also want to know that this has been fulfilled:
Dams built in the 1970s have given Turkey the ability to dry-up the Euphrates. In 1990 they stopped the river for a month to fill a reservoir.
Hope this helps. God bless.

The river Euphrates will dry up. They are building a dam there now. When the army of 200,000,000 soldiers from the east (probably China because they hate us and they already have that many soldiers) go to attack Israel, they will march across the river to get there. I can't find the actual verse, but I remember reading about it. I don't think it mentions the name of the river, but hints at the Euphrates as the one.

ever hear about the seven signs of the apocalypse, this is the sixth angel or messenger of the seven angels with the seven last plagues
Revelation 16:12 The sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates. Its water was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings that come from the sunrise.

Its Revelation 16:12 & it's talking about the river drying up so armies can cross it. This is in the end time (last days) Read Dan. 11:44 & Rev. chapter 9.

The exact verse for the dry river is Rev. 16:12, and relates the sixth "bowl judgment" poured out upon the earth and humanity in the context of the last judgments that have begun with the Seven Angels and their Seven Bowls of judgment in Chapter 15 were verse 7 states that these the bowls are "full of the wrath of God" and these judgments are witnessed by "those who had come off victorious from the beast and from his image and from the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, holding harps of God".. I believe these are Believers in Heaven who have received salvation during the period know as the tribulation, have been martyred and are, joined around the throne of God with those who are already in Heaven from eternity past.
The river is named as the Euphrates, and is the same as God said in Genesis 15:18 marked the northern boundary of the land promised to Abraham and his "descendants". Some believe this is symbolic, others the actual river.
The following 7th Bowl Judgment, brought by the 7th Angel brings about the sound from the throne (in heaven) "It is done", i.e. the signal to all in Heaven and on Earth that final judgment is complete; the remainder of The Revelation completes the visions given to John, and the final end of Believers and Unbelievers for all eternity future. I believe for all of us, this eternity begins at death, unless Christ comes before we die.

You're wasting your time. People interpret the Bible differently and for centuries people have tried to interpret the Bible for Armaggedon to no avail. Jesus even said nobody knows the day or the time.
The Book of Revelation is nothing more than a man's nightmare that was put into paper. Dreams don't make sense most of the time and they are simply a way for our mind to make sense of what we experience every day.

the euphrates is supposed to dry up but that drying up signals that Jesus is about to come down and help with the battle of Armaggeddon (sry about spelling) there are a lot of online sites that organize the end times in logical order for regular people to understand it. if you would like more information IM me or email!!
