Concern over Euphrates River Water Depletion

It is in recent news that Turkey has stopped the flow of the Euphrates river, causing Syria to scramble to replace their main and only regional water source. This news has Bible Scholars in a frenzy contemplating the end of the world as the scripture reads:
Revelation 16:12
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.

This drying up is the last cup of wrath poured out befor the coming of man. This last wrath is preceded by loathsome sores, bloody seas with dead sealife, bloody rivers, scorching sun, and darkness and gnashing pain.

People need to stop. There is an order to the prophecy and one wrath will not come out of order. I could be lead to believe that aids lesions could be the loathsome sores, but the seas will have to be bloody and all sea life will die first....before the rivers, before the scorching sun, before the darkness and pain.

I believe in the whole word of God. and I don't support it being twisted or used for political reasoning. As a matter of fact, The euphrates runs strong from the melting ice caps of Mount Ararat to the persian gulf. Stong until May 2014 when the Turkish Government decreased the flow of the Euphrates for 6 days by damming the river in at least 4 of the 5 Euphrates dams, gradually stopping completely near the middle of May.

Historically, Turkey has been in conflict with Syria and Iraq over the control of the Euphrates. Since 1994, Turkey agreed to guarantee a minimum share of the water from the Euphrates to Iraq and Syria. But since Syria has been in a civil war tensions have risen. Syria downed a Turkish plane on a training flight 2012. Turkey has condemned Syria for supporting the PKK, which is listed as a terrorist organization internationally by a number of states and organizations, including the USA, NATO, and the EU and has claimed that Syria employed Alois Brunner to train Kurdish militants for attacks against Turkey.

Since the Syrian Civil War, Diplomatic ties between Syria and Turkey greatly deteriorated. The Syrian civil war began to impact Turkey when at least 3,000 Syrian refugees fled crackdowns by the Syrian Army on towns such as Jisr ash-Shugur. In June 2014, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan described to Anatolian Agency his feeling that "They are not acting in a humane manner. This is savagery."

On 23 March 2014, Turkey shot down a Syrian combat jet Turkish-Syrian border. Turkey claims that Two Turkish Air Force F-16s downed the plane that was heading Turkish territory and ignored warnings.

By May, the Euphrates River flow was stopped by a dam, so to speak the river still exists...and as a result this scenario does not fit bible prophecy.

Sidenote: Islam believes that the euphrates will dry up and reveal a mountain of gold.
