895. The Kings of the East.

In Rev. 16:12 we read that the river Euphrates was dried up, "that the way of the kings [that come from the sun rising] of the East might be prepared." What country do they come from?

J. H.

From the territory east of Turkey and Persia, where the Euphrates River is. It may come to mean such powers as England, Germany, France, Russia, and the United States, when they divide up Asia among themselves, and the last power takes the Philippines. Thus the kings of the West become the kings of the East.
