7. The Euphrates river plays a significant role in God’ God’s plan Rev 9:12 12--15 One woe is past past.. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things things.. 13Then the sixth angel sounded:: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the sounded golden altar which is before God, 14saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates Euphrates..” 15So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind mankind..

The Euphrates river appears in Scripture 20 times Gen 2:14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel Hiddekel;; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria. The fourth is the Euphrates.

8. An army of 200 million will reek havoc during the Great Tribulation Rev 9:16 16--19 Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million million;; I heard the number of them them.. 17And thus I saw the horses in the vision vision:: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow yellow;; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions lions;; and out of their mouths came 18 fire, smoke, and brimstone brimstone.. By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed killed— —by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths mouths.. 19For their power is in their mouth and in their tails tails;; for their tails are like serpents, having heads;; and with them they do harm heads harm..

And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars roars.. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices voices.. 4Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write;; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal write up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them them..”
