EPISODE 3105: Euphrates Drying Up
About this Episode
In this episode, we explore the drying of the Euphrates River—a waterway that has shaped civilizations and inspired deep meaning for thousands of years. As the river pulls back, revealing land and ruins hidden for centuries, rumors and interpretations swirl, linking this environmental change to ancient prophecies and modern fears.
We discuss the real causes behind the river’s decline: climate drought, geopolitical conflict, and infrastructure challenges. At the same time, we examine how these facts intertwine with religious texts from Christian and Islamic traditions, and how social media amplifies prophecy talk into a powerful, sometimes dangerous narrative.
This episode also reflects on the human side of this story—how fear and hope shape our understanding of such events, and how these stories resonate with Filipino folklore about rivers and spirits. Through listener stories and careful analysis, we reveal the complex layers behind a drying river: environmental crisis, spiritual symbolism, political tension, and the very human emotions that rise with them.
Trigger Warning: This episode touches on themes of war, displacement, religious fear, and anxiety. Please take care of yourself.
Join us as we navigate the intersection of water, prophecy, and humanity in “Euphrates Drying Up.
”Listen to the full episode for a thoughtful look at what happens when a river dries—and what it means for those who depend on it.
