Euphrates River and Middle East

Euphrates River Valley and surrounding countries -- battleground for World War III. The Bible says this river will be the initial division between the North and the South when the nations of the world begin to align in preparation for the battle of Armageddon. It is in this last battle that the nations of the earth will fight Jesus Christ and His angels coming down from Heaven. Jesus will conquer all the armies against Him. Our Savior will then begin to directly rule the world from His throne in Jerusalem.

** NOTE: The original map from Goodnews Christian Ministry showed Paul going from Ephesus to Assos to Thessalonika (in Macedonia), and not from Ephesus to Troas to Philippi. Conybeare/Howson show Paul leaving Troas for Philippi, then retracing his steps in A.D. 58 when he leaves Corinth. The map has been changed to reflect this research.
