If we read [Rev. 19: 1,2] then the armageddon is about Judgement of the great whore and bringing salvation to the world. This will not be a war between nations but judgement comming directly from God. I have often mentioned that it's imperative to understand the theme of the bible to get the proper understanding.

The great whore has not only corrupted the earth with her fornication but had also spilled the blood of His servants, and must therefore be judged. We all know the saying: "what goes around comes around". Christ did mention racial wars, earth quakes in divers places, and famine and pestilence, but did not link this to the armageddon.

The destruction will come as a surprise and an object in the sky, send by God, will destroy the whore within one hour.

Israel didn't get their land back. Check [Luke 21:24]. They were led away captive and their land was given by America and England in May 14, 1948 to Gentiles who are inhabiting that land. They however, will in the future.

Sorry for the waiting! I already gave a Hint who the "Great Whore" might be!
Remember... this is all prophecy and we must treat it as such! Not all who read will agree or see it exactly the same way.

The great whore is actually a nation that is surrounded by many waters. I hinted about the Statue of Liberty, who is the "torchbearer" and because she is surrounded by waters.

The bible calls her the "Great Whore" or "Babylon the Great" because she is a leading nation with the sins of ancient Babylon (LGBTQ etc.) but much greater than Babylon, committing fornication and abominations with the lesser nations. God is angry with all these nations because they are buying and selling and even slaves and human traffickers were/are commodities in their trades.

The land is also polluted by innocent blood and God requires the cleansing of it, with the blood of those that shed it.

[Numbers 35:33] So ye shall not pollute the the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land can't be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

Note: In the scriptures Lucifer is not Satan, but the torchbearer (leading) nation or a people and not a person. It does make sense to mention that the Statue of Liberty, does have a torch in her right hand, held very high! People often get the wrong understanding from movie makers, who don't know the history or prophecy but because lies and talking a good game, pay the bills!

In Rev. 19: 2 speaks of God's judgment on the great harlot.
Who is she?
This is not literally a woman.

In a symbolic sense, the word “harlot” is applied to individuals, organizations, and nations who say they worship Jehovah, but in fact worship other gods.

In Revelation, the symbolic harlot is depicted sitting on a crimson beast. She has the name Babylon the Great written on her forehead. And in the Bible "Babylon the Great" is called the world system of false religion.

Therefore, the harlot of Rev 19: 2 is a worldwide system of false religion.

Jesus said He will come like a thief in the night. In other words we cannot predict armegeddon, I certainly do not want to experience it in my lifetime. There have always been wars and rumours of wars, even the Bible says this. Best to live each day to it's fullest.

Yeah to the very fullest hun🥰🥰

OK, first, we need to look at the origins of the word "Armageddon". Since we don't have the ORIGINAL writings, we have to use what we do HAVE...we have the Greek Septuagint. https://www.abarim-publications.com/Interlinear-New-Testament/Revelation/Revelation-16-parsed.html#.X8T1JVVKg2w
Revelation 16:16 gives us the only reference to the name "Armageddon"
REVELATION 16:16
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
A place, not an event. Αρμαγεδδων is the Greek word. This name can not be declined in Greek. This is common for names that are transliterated from other languages (such as Hebrew or Aramaic), but it means that its case must be derived from its context.

You got it right! The great whore and harlot are just the same entity and not a woman. The bible uses metaphor, similitudes, dark and secret sayings and even parables to give understanding to the elect. When God was talking to Moses, He told him to write down certain things and to keep others secret, for himself. God showed Moses and Edras the end of the world, but they were not allowed to write it down on paper or stone.

The word "Harlot is used" because those nations sold "boys for harlots" and gave "girls for wine" so that they might feast and drink and celebrate their victory.

We know that Babylon the great is not the old Babylon because the old Babylon is mentioned in the Old Testament and the Great Babylon in the prophecies, and it's judgement has not yet come.

Daniel saw four beast and these beasts are four nations/kingdoms, and Babylon was one of these beast. Beast and mountains are kingdoms and nations in the holy bible. Babylon the great is the mother of harlots and the one who have mislead the whole world with a false image and false religions and doctrines. Hence, all religions are false and none is biblical. First came christianity, slavery and then religion, to keep the slaves docile. The Holy scriptures are thousands of years older than christianity and Christ was not teaching Christianity but Moses.

We still have many prophecies to come before all is fulfilled, and we can close the bible and wait for new instructions and new things to come.

[Joel 3:2] I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

If we precept the above verse with [Isaiah 66:16] For by fire and by his sword will the LORD "PLEAD" with all flesh, and the slain of the LORD shall be many..... then the gathering of the nations will be for BATTLE.

Armageddon/Har Megiddo is an actual place on Earth -the site of the ancient city of Megiddo.

The surrounding area is where the greater Earthly military powers will gather to fight each other after moving toward the holy land to settle the mid-east peace crisis by force -claim land for their own, etc.
The modern-day country of Israel (house of Judah) will be attacked full-scale by their neighbors -and the rest of the world will be drawn into the conflict as they continue to fight.

Zech 12:3 "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it."

There will be a destruction/desolation OF the present city of JERUSALEM -called the "abomination of desolation".
Luke 21:10 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 11 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains;..........
MAtt 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:


At about that point, Christ will return (in power and "glory" -as the "glory" which Moses could not look upon when he saw his back parts) -and the armies gathered will turn to literally attempt to fight him.
Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them:
That is called "The great and terrible day of the Lord"

Zech 14:1Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee...

Rev 11:18And the nations were angry; and Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that Thou shouldest give reward unto Thy servants the prophets, and to the saints and them that fear Thy name, small and great, and shouldest destroy them that destroy the earth.

Christ will be accompanied -perhaps somewhat preceded -by HIS army -as described in Joel 2 (not the saints which he will bring with him, but angelic forces)....

1Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
7They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

Zech 14:8And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
10All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses. 11And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
12And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

[Luke 21:10] is referring to the Masada of 70 AD when the Roman army captured Jeruzalem, destroyed the 2nd Temple and took the Gold and riches of King Solomon.
Christ had warned his people to flee to the mountains (Egypt) where his parents fled too, when King Herod tried to kill baby Jesus. The Masada was terrible because the jews were surrounded, could not leave Jeruzalem, and had to cannibalize the death.

Right, Christ will rule with a rod of Iron but nevertheless Public Enemy no. 1, has to go. So, the nations will build Christ Kingdom in these 1000 years and then the major treat will disappear, forever.
