Revelation of Jesus 60, Final Crisis 5

Satan recognizes that he has lost the cosmic controversy, but he is still determined to annihilate the followers of Jesus so he can rule the whole world. At this point, God steps in with the seven last plagues, which thwart Satan’s efforts. In response, Satan mobilizes his demonic team, symbolized by “three unclean spirits like frogs… who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty” (Revelation 16: 13,14). “And they gather them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon” (Revelation 16:16).

In this video, we will explore the fact that the Battle of Armageddon is more than just a military conflict at a specific location in Palestine. The word “Armageddon” is unique to this verse. Most scholars believe it is the combination of the Hebrew words har, which means hill or mountain, and Megiddo, a city in northern Israel.

The fact that Megiddo is not located on a mountain implies that Armageddon is a symbolic name; we will find the meaning by studying the Old Testament stories about the battles on the mountains around Megiddo.

The description of the battle of Armageddon in the book of Revelation informs us that the forces of evil will not give up easily. However, the study of events around it gives hope and comfort to Jesus’ followers. It assures us that God has an endpoint for the sin and oppression that plague this world. The hell of this existence will give way to the eternal peace, joy, and harmony that Jesus longs to provide for us.
