The 200 Million Man Army
200 Million Man Eastern Army
“It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, ‘Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.’ And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number” (Revelation 9:14-16). “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East” (Revelation 16:12).
There is a very interesting set of prophecies found in the book of Revelation. Although the two prophecies are different they both tie in together, and they both have to do with “wars or rumor of wars.” Jesus said in the end times the Euphrates River was going to dry up. When the river dries up, there would be an army that numbers 200,000,000 that will cross this river. While it is true China does in fact have an army that numbers 200,000,000 men we need to take a closer look at Revelation 16:12. Notice if you will this verse says “kings”. I do not believe China will cross the River alone although it is possible. Since we are warned that the (kings) will cross the river, it will probably be a host of nations from East of the Euphrates that will cross the river to make their way toward Jerusalem. These nations include, Iran which at the present time has an army that numbers 954,000, Afghanistan has an army of 70,000, Pakistan has an army of 619,000 with a reserve of 528,000, Iraq has an army of 273,000, Kazakhstan has an army of 65,000 with a reserve of 237,000, India has an army of 1,414,000 with a reserve force of 1,155,000, and China has any army of 2,255,000 with a reserve force of 800,000. As you can see, if these nations want to attack together they won’t have any problem forming a huge military force of 200,000, 000 men. As long as man can remember, the great Euphrates River has never stopped flowing. However, in the last days, this great river Euphrates is now in the process of drying up as you will see. As this great river dries up it is causing tensions in the Middle East as nations begin to fight over water rights.
