What is the battle of Armageddon?

TONI101

Armageddon is the battle of the great day of God the Almighty. It will cleanse the earth of all wickedness. Revelation 16:14 They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and they perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty. Revelation 16:16 And they gathered them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon. Jeremiah 25:33 “‘And those slain by Jehovah in that day will be from one end of the earth clear to the other end of the earth. They will not be mourned, nor will they be gathered up or buried. They will become like manure on the surface of the ground.’ Psalm 37:29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.

It's a great gathering of armies from many nations. They meet in the Plains of Megiddo. They attack Jerusalem, accomplish taking a part of the city and forcing some of the population into bondage (slavery). The women are raped, the Antichrist falls and no one helps him. Then the Lord comes. That part in Matthew 24 where Jesus talks about "one will be taken, one will be left" is about that great gathering for Armageddon. Some Christians are mistaken in that they think it is the rapture, but it isn't. I use other verses to show things about the rapture.

It used to be a place, strategically located at the crossing of ancient trade routes. The profitable mission of the authority in charge of the fort built there was to protect/racket the traders passing by. Over centuries, and millennia, there have been so many battles to take over the fort that Armaggedon became a synonym of battle. Some ancient communities who hoped a big battle would solve all their problems called it Armaggedon. For example John s Apocalypse

6 man hell in a cell off what I remember... Wait this wasn't referring to the WWE PPV... Well, probably less fictional than the bible

Raystina: Revelation 16

Revelation 16:14,16 It is God’s war with all the nations, which he will remove and replace with his Kingdom or government which Jesus taught his followers to pray for at Matthew 6:9,10, It is not a war that man will bring about which some people believe. www.jw.org

Takes place at the city of Meggido in the Last Days between Christ and the Anti-christ.

It is where they send Bruce Willis and a bunch of oil workers to space (because it is easier to teach oil workers to be astronauts than it is teach astronauts to work a drill?), in order to destroy an asteroid coming toward earth.

There have been three battles for Armageddon. The first was when the demon lord Angron assaulted the world, until he was defetaed and banished by a company of Grey Knights. The second was when the ork Warlord Ghazghul Thraka attacked and was driven back by the Imperial Guard under Commissar Tarrik. He came back for another go (the third war), and that battle goes on even to this day.
