[idle thoughts] the kings of the east

Bit difficult to see but the city boxed in purple on the left is Babil and the map on the right is Kashmir, a major obstacle for China until now.

Whenever I touch on this sort of thing, I prefer to just present it and stop there. It’s your decision whether it means anything or not. Have a look at:

# the international situation with the great rivers;

# poisoning and drainage of the marshes and basin;

# China’s leaders’ statements on future policy;

# Pakistan’s relinquishing of rights over Kashmir, including links to the rebuilding of the silk road route;

# China and Iran’s recent agreement;

# China and India’s recent agreement.

# A bit of far-fetched apocalyptic literature, from Revelations, to finish up with:

9:14: Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 15: And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. 16: And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

16:4: And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

16:12: 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.

The only other thing I can do is pose the question – why Babylon and Israel? Why not, say, Frankfurt in Germany or Columbus, Ohio?
