TOPIC:Armageddon - The War of the Ages

          by Rev. Dr. Reg Dunlap

 

TEXT:Revelation 16:13-16

 

“And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew

tongue Armageddon” (v. 16).

 

As we continue our study of Bible prophecy I want to preach tonight on the final great battle of this world. That our world is heading on a cataclysmic course to self destruction is something of which I have not the slightest doubt. It certainly doesn't take a prophet or a professional doom-seer to realize that there are striking signs prevalent today which point to a thermonuclear holocaust. It is my firm belief that the world as we know it is heading for a final global war. This will be the last war between all the nations of the world.

 

Now such a truth may be documented by large portions of the Bible which speak about this coming destruction upon this world. The prophets Daniel and Ezekiel, plus the writings of the Apostle John in the book of Revelation, give us detailed information about what will take place at that time. Let us search out together the facts of this coming world-wide war.

 

I.

 

Let's start with this: Consider the PLACE of the battle. The precise location of this great battle between the world-wide forces of Antichrist and the military armies of the East is given to us in the words of our text. We read: “And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.” The word “Armageddon” means “the mountain of Megiddo.”

 

Megiddo can be located on the north side of the plains of Jezreel, west of the Jordan between Samaria and Galilee. It consists of the plain of Jezreel from the Mediterranean to the Jordan. It was once a military stronghold where Israel recorded two of its great victories over the Canaanites (Judges 4:15) and over the Midianites (Judges 7:1-25). What a fitting place for the last great battle on earth.
