Armageddon Wikipedia. According to the Book of Revelation in the New Testament of the Bible, Armageddon, from Ancient Greek Harmagedn,12Late Latin Armagedn,3 from Hebrew Har Megiddo is the prophesied location of a gathering of armies for a battle during the end times, variously interpreted as either a literal or a symbolic location. The term is also used in a generic sense to refer to any end of the world scenario. Mount Tel Megiddo is not actually a mountain, but a tell a hill created by many generations of people living and rebuilding on the same spot4 on which ancient forts were built to guard the Via Maris, an ancient trade route linking Egypt with the northern empires of Syria, Anatolia and Mesopotamia. Megiddo was the location of various ancient battles, including one in the 1. BC and one in 6. 09 BC. Modern Megiddo is a town approximately 2. Sea of Galilee in the Kishon River area in Israel.

According to the Book of Revelation in the New Testament of the Bible, Armageddon r m d n, from Ancient Greek. Megiddon or Megiddo, a place of crowds. The name refers to a fortification made by King Ahab 8. BC that dominated the Plain of Jezreel. ChristianityeditMegiddo is mentioned twelve times in the Old Testament, ten times in reference to the ancient city of Megiddo, and twice with reference to the plain of Megiddo, most probably simply meaning the plain next to the city. None of these Old Testament passages describes the city of Megiddo as being associated with any particular prophetic beliefs. The one New Testament reference to the city of Armageddon found in Revelation 1. Armageddon. 9 The text does however seem to imply, based on the text from the earlier passage of Revelation 1. Armageddon is for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. Because of the seemingly highly symbolic and even cryptic language of this one New Testament passage, some Christian scholars conclude that Mount Armageddon must be an idealized location. Rushdoony says, There are no mountains of Megiddo, only the Plains of Megiddo. This is a deliberate destruction of the vision of any literal reference to the place. Other scholars, including C. C. Torrey, Kline and Jordan argue that the word is derived from the Hebrewmoed, meaning assembly. Thus, Armageddon would mean Mountain of Assembly, which Jordan says is a reference to the assembly at Mount Sinai, and to its replacement, Mount Zion. OrthodoxyeditThe traditional viewpoint interprets this Bible prophecy to be symbolic of the progression of the world toward the great day of God, the Almighty in which the great looming mountain of Gods just and holy wrath is poured out against unrepentant sinners, led by Satan, in a literal end of the world final confrontation. Armageddon is the symbolic name given to this event based on scripture references regarding divine obliteration of Gods enemies. The hermeneutical method supports this position by referencing Judges 4 and 5 where God miraculously destroys the enemy of His elect, Israel, at Megiddo, also called the Valley of Josaphat. Christian scholar William Hendriksen says For this cause, Har Magedon is the symbol of every battle in which, when the need is greatest and believers are oppressed, the Lord suddenly reveals His power in the interest of His distressed people and defeats the enemy. When Sennacheribs 1. Angel of Jehovah, that is a shadow of the final Har Magedon. When God grants a little handful of Maccabees a glorious victory over an enemy which far outnumbers it, that is a type of Har Magedon. But the real, the great, the final Har Magedon coincides with the time of Satans little season. Then the world, under the leadership of Satan, anti Christian government, and anti Christian religion the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet is gathered against the Church for the final battle, and the need is greatest when Gods children, oppressed on every side, cry for help then suddenly, dramatically, Christ will appear on the clouds of glory to deliver his people that is Har Magedon. DispensationalismeditThe Dispensational viewpoint interprets biblical prophecy literally and expects that the fulfillment of prophecy will also be literal, depending upon the context of scripture. In his discussion of Armageddon, J. Dwight Pentecost has devoted an entire chapter to the subject, titled The Campaign of Armageddon, in which he discusses Armageddon as a campaign and not a specific battle, which will be fought in the Middle East. Pentecost writes It has been held commonly that the battle of Armageddon is an isolated event transpiring just prior to the second advent of Christ to the earth. The extent of this great movement in which God deals with the kings of the earth and of the whole world Rev. God Almighty Rev. Sydney Cole Sydney Cole Takes It In The Hole. The Greek word polemo, translated battle in Revelation 1. This distinction is observed by Trench, see Richard C.

The use of the word polemos campaign in Revelation 1. Armageddon at the second advent are viewed by God as one connected campaign. Pentecost, p. Pentecost then discusses the location of this campaign, and mentions the hill of Megiddo and other geographic locations such as the valley of Jehoshaphat1. Lord coming from Edom or Idumea, south of Jerusalem, when He returns from the judgment and Jerusalem itself. Pentecost further describes the area involved This wide area would cover the entire land of Israel and this campaign, with all its parts, would confirm what Ezekiel pictures when he says the invaders will cover the land. This area would conform to the extent pictured by John in Revelation 1. Pentecost then outlines the biblical time period for this campaign to occur and with further arguments concludes that it must take place with the 7. Daniel. The invasion of Israel by the Northern Confederacy will bring the Beast and his armies to the defense of Israel as her protector. He then uses Daniel to further clarify his thinking Dan. Again, events are listed by Pentecost in his book The movement of the campaign begins when the King of the South moves against the Beast False Prophet coalition, which takes place at the time of the end. The King of the South gets in battle with the North King and the Northern Confederacy Daniel 1. Jerusalem is destroyed as a result of this attack,2. Northern Confederacy are destroyed. The full armies of the Beast move into Israel 1. Edom, Moab, and Ammon alone escape. Beast2. 4The Beast moves his headquarters into the land of Israel and assembles his armies there. It is there that his destruction will come.

Satan is then loosed for a season and goes out to deceive the nations, specifically, Gog and Magog.
