Armageddon, the story of the last great battle. The culmination of all the events leading up to the return of Christ.

The kings of the East march on Israel with an army of 200 million men. China and its allies to the east. To stop them, the Antichrist with an army gather from many nations met them on the plain of Megiddo. The slaughter is so bad, blood flows like rivers. In the midst of the great battle, Jesus returns. They all turn their weapons on Jesus and his army to no avail and are swept away.

A story that has been expounded from all areas of Christianity. There is only one problem, it is wrong. Not completely but just generally.

 

The word Armageddon in the original Greek has a small squiggle at the beginning, giving the word an H sound. We should say Har- Mageddon. Har means, mount. There are no mountains on the plains of Megiddo. They took Mageddon to mean Megiddo because it looked the same in English. Without going through all the Greek and Hebrew on this word, the meaning of Mageddon is “assembly”. I refer you to the work of Dr Mike Hieser, who you can find on YouTube.

 

The place that this great battle takes place is at the Mountain of Assembly, which is Jerusalem. There are no other places in the bible that talk about this battle taking place on the plains of Megiddo. However, several times the minor prophets mention this future battle over Jerusalem.

 

Zechariah 12

2“Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. 3On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it”. 

 

This is a future event, not one of the previous sieges. Men may think they are gathering to fight each other, but there are other plans afoot.

 

Who is doing the fighting.

 

We have a good description of the Kings of the East, and we have the false prophet going all over the world with the help of demons raising an army. What we do not have is whether they are fighting each other or someone else. We also have Abaddon (his original name is Asbeel) and the Watchers there. Just three days before Jesus returns, Abaddon kills the two witnesses. Now we have the armies of the Kings of the East, the armies of the Antichrist and Satan (Satan’s real name is Gardrel). Gardel with his 310 Cherubim and Abaddon with his 200 Watchers. They have all gathered around Jerusalem waiting for a great battle. A great and cosmic battle, the greatest and most decisive battle to ever take place. Who are they battling, what is going to happen in Jerusalem.

 

Gardel and Asbeel know Jesus, the Son of Man, is returning, and they are not going without a fight. They have gathered every force they can muster to win the day. Do they know something we do not? The Bible was written by the spirit of God, and he is saying that his side wins. Micheal has beaten Gardel and in battle before and cast him out of heaven. This time Micheal is facing Gardel, Asbeel and all the forces of mankind.

 

All we know is, nobody beats the Father, the Lord of the Spirits. Christians are on his side. As for Gardel and Asbeel, your fate is sealed. Boys, you are fooling yourselves.
