THE  FINAL  WAR

THE  FINAL  WAR

Some call it "Armageddon"
but that's really not its name
but only the Location
of this War of Greatest Fame

For Megiddo holds the secret
to the Final Prophecy
about the war that Christ will win
for all the world to see

Some say the mound is much too small
to hold those that will Fight
For all the rulers of this earth
need space to show their might

Twenty-five acres holds the hill
but it never was enough
For even older battles fought
spread beyond that bluff

For the Valley that surrounds the mound
spreads yonder past the brink
of what is needed to contain
the armys and their Kings

Megiddo is just the center
from which all will radiate
as far as needed by our God
as far as it will take

To Host a Battle that will fill
the prophecies of old
as clearly as the sciptures say
we'll watch them all unfold

It's not by chance the angel pours
his bowl upon the sea
The River called "Euphrates" is
The place that proves to be

The start of all the action time
where the spirits that were tied
will create a havoc on this earth
since released from the river's side

Held for just this special time
this hour and this day
the evil spirits that God released
will do what the scriptures say

They've gathered the rulers from the earth
From every land and shore
to bring their armies in one accord
to Jehovah's Final War

Where the Euphrates and Har'Megiddo
are seen as the Center Stage
they'll all spread out - in their Battle Shout
at the end of Mankind's Days

It won't take much to view this
in the vision of your own head
For even Christ fed thousands of men
on two fish and five loaves of bread

And once the battle's started
suddenly Christ will appear
upon the Mount of Megiddo
with his angels close and near

Mounted upon their horses
a spectacle in their robes
with materialized human bodies
with faces all aglow

Mistaken for a Rival Force
the armys down below
will view them as an enemy
as an army of their Foe

Attempting to use their cannons
or Fire with their guns
they'll find them all to be useless
some will throw them and they'll run

But Christ will call them to battle
he'll beckon them to fight
they won't recognize his identity
they won't realize his Might

Until they feel his Glory
as it fills the valley below
the power of his angels
now all will surely know

Jehoshua has risen
to take his rightful rule
with his sword of righteous justice
he'll command the final duel

And the battle will be even
and Fair beyond a doubt
for mortal man will take his stand
using fists and knives and clout

Christ has one advantage
to be King of Jehovah's Host
with Miraculous ways of power
quite similar to all of those

Who fought in Ancient Israel
at the Direction of the Lord
when Jehovah sent them to battle
against the enemy horde

They knew that they'd be winners
it was promised into their hand
when they warred against their enemies
on Jehovah's side they'd stand

So the Battle rages onward
and Christ will seize his Rule
out of the hands - of the evil bands
and the scriptures will come true

Alas, it will be finished
the yoke of wretched man
will be torn away from sinners
and placed in Jehoshua's hand

THE  EUPHRATES  RIVER

THE  EUPHRATES  RIVER

 A Little Background
About the Euphrates River

The River Euphrates is a historic river,
very significant in Biblical history. The
Tigris-Euphrates Valley was the birthplace
of the ancient civilisations of Assyria,
Babylonia and Sumer.  The cities of Babylon
and Ur were built on the river. 

This was one of the rivers which flowed
out of the garden of Eden (Genesis 2:14).
It was also the region of the great Flood. 
And it was along this river that Abraham
journeyed on his way to the promised land.

The Euphrates river is in southwest Asia,
rising in Turkey and flowing through Syria
and Iraq before joining the Tigris River.

The Euphrates, along with the Tigris River,
provided much of the water that supported
the development of ancient Mesopotamia.
It is believed that Ancient Mesopotamia is
where civilization began and was the home
to the "garden of eden" as described in
the Bible.

Mesopotamia literally means "between the rivers"
in Greek, and this area was the site of such
early states as Sumer, Babylonia, and Assyria.

The Euphrates River is 1,700 miles long.
The course of the Euphrates roughly parallels
that of the Tigris River.  And shortly after
the rivers enter Iraq they are never more than
100 miles apart.  The alluvial lands between
the two rivers was the site of the glorious
Babylonian civilization of ancient times.

Too shallow for navigation by all but
small boats, the Euphrates is important
solely for its water supply. The river is
the source of significant political tension,
as Turkey, Syria, and Iraq all compete for
the use of its waters for irrigation and
for the generation of hydroelectric power.

BABYLON, Iraq (April 16, 2003) - AP
One of Saddam Hussein's palaces
stands atop a hillside, overlooking
the Euphrates river and the ruins
of the ancient city of Babylon.

It was the Ancient City of Babylon
where the First Rebellion against
Jehovah God occured.  It was under
the rule of Nimrod - that the beginning
of all False religion began.


HOW  FITTING

From the garden of Eden all the
way to the center of today's Terrrorist
attacks - The Euphrates River has
played a significant role in mankind's
history and future.

And how fitting - that this same area,
"The Euphrates River" - which was
the setting for the creation of mankind
and later the seat of rebellion against 
Jehovah God - that this should also be
a place mentioned in The Bible Book of
Revelation - as associated with God's
anger and retribution to mankind for 
their rebellion against Him.
