A man posted this to Twitter in 2014. What does it mean? What was he listening to? What does the "X" mean?

He was listening to "X Gon' Give It To Ya" by DMX on his Xbox while on vacation in Xi’an, China.

What's up with all these X's? It means something significant for these people. I searched for DMX, wondering what that name means and found that it stands for Dark Man X. I still don't know what the X stands for even in that context. According to this source, one of the most famous albums of DMX is ‘It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot’. X in this context seems to be related to darkness and hell.

    You proved you can read upside-down! It's encouraging to me to see a reference to The Rapture. Jesus does promise a rapture, which is a mystery, for those who are faithfully waiting. And your username reminds me of the book of Revelation, which was given by Jesus after his resurrection, giving clues about the times we are now in.

    I still do not understand the X. Is that how a promotional CD is marked?

    It's an Ed Sheeran album. He used X as in multiply.

    You seem to have answered the question correctly!

    I never heard of him. I see he also has albums called + and ÷ and =. It almost looks like I am making a joke, but it's documented.

    does the bible say something about the euphrates river running dry?

    ChatGPT Yes, the Bible does mention the Euphrates River running dry in the context of end-times prophecy. In the book of Revelation, specifically in Revelation 16:12, it is written:

    "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 verse is part of a series of events described in Revelation that depict cataclysmic occurrences leading up to the end of the world and the return of Jesus Christ. The drying up of the Euphrates River is seen as a significant event in this apocalyptic narrative, symbolizing a preparation for the final battle between good and evil.

    I saw a movie called X recently, a horror comedy partly influenced by Texas chain saw massacre. But old senile people are the killers. I feel like the theme is the old generation being replaced by the new, who are the same tho.
