What is Armageddon?
What do you think about when you hear this word? About the death of humanity, about the destruction of our planet? Scary films on this topic immediately come to mind. Some people believe that Armageddon is a man-made disaster; others think Armageddon is a natural disaster. Armageddon is not a war between people. This is God's war. What will happen to humanity and our planet as a result of this war? Jehovah God created our beautiful planet, populated it with people and various beasts, not so that foolish people would destroy themselves and their own home. God will not allow to destroy the creations of his hands !!! Psalm 96:10 says that the earth is firmly established, it will not shake. And in Psalm 37:29 there are other words: "The righteous will possess the earth and they will live on it forever. The Battle of Armageddon is the great battle, mentioned in Revelation, that takes place in the Last Days before the new heaven and the new earth. One section in the Bible seems to have captured the attention of Christians and non-Christians alike: The Battle of Armageddon. The phrase itself conjures images in pop culture that are associated with the end of the world. From movie titles to references in books and of the explicit name, “Armageddon,” one can surmise this is some great battle (the last Battle, if you will) that takes place in the Last Days before the new heaven and the new earth (Revelation 21:1).The actual word for “Armageddon” only appears once in the Bible (Revelation 16:16) Even though most of the New Testament is written in Greek, this comes from the Hebrew word which means, “Mount Megiddo,” according to ( GotQuestions.Org) (Revelation 16:16) describes what happens after God pours out the sixth bowl of wrath (one of the many plagues that permeates the Revelation narrative). The antichrist gathers “kings” in a placed called Armageddon. These kings, loyal to the antichrist, will gather their armies to wage war against the people of God. |
