How will Ar Mageddon / WW III End? The last two plagues seem to be really ramping up lately, with no (apparent) end in sight. One thing is for sure. The demon-possessed kings east of the Euphrates river (mostly dry these days) are hell-bent on defeating NATO and the 24 Christian nations that (for the most part) control it, which all lie to the west of the river.
At the same time, the demonic kings also want to destroy Israel, the other chosen people of the Bible and leave no traces of either of Gods chosen people.
Making things even worse, the Shiites and the Sunnis (the two branches of Islam) are trying to wipe each other out (which has been going on for centuries).
Now everything is happening at the same time, and theres also domestic terrorism to worry about. It keeps getting scarier every day.
So what are we supposed to do, you ask? Well, the answer is given to us in the Bible. The great world- wide earthquake, the Battle of Ar Mageddon, will end when Mageddon (meaning the Sanctuary of God or Eden) is split three ways. (See Rev. 16:19).
So the question becomes, where was the Garden of Eden, the sanctuary where God created modern man? Most scholars say Eden is todays Iraq and Syria (mainly) and likely a portion of Turkey (the land between the Euphates and the Tigris rivers the Bible says, also known as Mesopotamia by historians.
Actually, the Apocalypse literally says the Ar (or city) of the sanctuary, and its environs, will be divided three ways, which brings an end to the conflict that started there (where the Euphrates dried-up).
In reality, that is the way it already is in Baghdad, where Hussein dried up the Euphrates. The environs suggests the whole of Iraq (if not the whole of Eden). The southern third of Iraq is controlled by the Shiites, the Middle by the Sunnis, and the northern third is controlled by the Kurds, and is mainly Christians.
Verse 19 infers that the whole of Eden must be split three ways, then theres peace for a 1000 years! BM
