Isn’t it amazing how universally known the term “Armageddon” has become to the world?
The word Armageddon only occurs ONCE in the Bible. Yet, it has become part of the world’s description of bad events.
In LA, traffic jams are called “Car-Meggon”; on the weather channel, a bad storm is called ‘Snow-megeddon,” and so on throughout our media.
All this starts with Megiddo, a city mentioned 12 times in the Bible, but never in a prophetic sense. It is today the ghost of an ancient walled city, now a sleepy tel or raised mound of layers of occupation and destruction.
Harmegeddon (or Hill of Megiddo) describes the area of the Plain of Jezreel where God declares in Revelation 16:16—that the final battle of mankind against God will take place. Napoleon said it was the greatest battlefield in the world.
The Pharaoh of the Exodus, Thutmose III, said to conquer Megiddo was like taking a thousand cities. Canaanites, Assyrians, Egyptians, Babylonians, Philistines, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Ottomans, French, British, Jordanians, and Israelis all have traveled through this valley in battle.
But in Revelation 16-19, all the world will gather here to defy God and to seek the destruction of His people, Israel, and His city, Jerusalem, as Zechariah 14 describes.
