Armageddon Series

? Prophet Zechariah also placed the future decisive battleground near Megiddo (Zechariah 12: 9, 11): "And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem… In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon".

Revelation 16 : 1,2, 12-21 [KJ21]

"And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

Etymology (behind the name):

? Megiddo – referred in many texts in the Old Testament. The source of the name is not clear. Perhaps it is based on the root G-D-D, or Gdud, meaning: battalion (a great army was stationed here), or a mound (the city was built on an impressive mound).

? Megiddon – another form of the name

? Armageddon – the nearby Mount (Har) Megiddo probably gave its name to Armageddon.

Who will fight at Armageddon?

Jesus Christ will lead a heavenly army to victory over God's enemies. (Revelation 19:11-16, 19-21) These enemies include those who oppose God's authority and treat God with contempt.—Ezekiel 39:7.

Will Armageddon be fought in the Middle East?

No. Rather than being restricted to one area, the battle of Armageddon will encompass the whole earth.—Jeremiah 25:32-34; Ezekiel 39:17-20.

Armageddon, sometimes rendered "Har–Magedon" (Hebrew Har Meghiddohn'), means "Mountain of Megiddo." Megiddo was once a city in the territory of ancient Israel. History tells of decisive battles fought in its vicinity, including some recorded in the Bible. (Judges 5:19, 20; 2 Kings 9:27; 23:29) However, Armageddon cannot refer to the literal area near ancient Megiddo. There is no large mountain there, and even the entire adjoining Low Plain of Jezreel could not contain all those who will fight against God. Instead, Armageddon is the worldwide situation in which the nations assemble in their last stand against rule by God.

What will conditions be like during the battle of Armageddon? While we do not know how God will use his power, he will have at his disposal weapons such as those he has used in the past—hail, earthquake, flooding downpour, fire and sulfur, lightning, and disease. (Job 38:22, 23; Ezekiel 38:19, 22; Habakkuk 3:10, 11; Zechariah 14:12) In confusion, at least some of God's enemies will kill each other, yet they will ultimately realize that God is fighting against them.—Ezekiel 38:21, 23; Zechariah 14:13.

• Will Armageddon be the end of the world?

It will not be the end of our planet since the earth is humankind's eternal home. (Psalm 37:29; 96:10; Ecclesiastes 1:4) Rather than destroying humanity, Armageddon saves it because "a great crowd" of God's servants will survive.—Revelation 7:9, 14; Psalm 37:34.
