The Drying Up

"So it says the waters are dried up. (And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.)

Now the greatest support of ancient Babylon was its river. 

As long as the river flowed, Babylon was secure.

But Cyrus came from the east and he dried up the Euphrates and that led to the fall of Babylon. 

This is picked up in the end time. 

The symbolic Babylon harlot, a global system, the papacy sits on multitudes, nations, tongues, and peoples. In other words, rules over them. 

And as long as the multitudes support this system, the system does not fall.
But at some point, the waters, multitudes, nations, tongues, and peoples that supported the harlot are going to dry up on her. 

And then, just like ancient Babylon, global Babylon, is going to fall." Stephen Bohr
