What about Armageddon?

Here is a classic example of what happens when interpretation drives translation.  The so-called battle of Armageddon is a fabrication of popular end times prophets.  Take the time to read Revelation 16 for yourself and do a little word study. There is no battle of Armageddon.

What then did John see? The literal translation of armageddon is Mount Meggido. The text says nothing of the plain of Meggido as taught by most futurists today. John saw the enemies of Jerusalem assembled on Mt. Meggido in preparation for its destruction.

The Jewish historian Josephus was a general in the Jewish army until he was captured by the Romans under less than honorable circumstances.  He records that Titus, a Roman general went to Mt. Meggido and waited for the rest of the Roman forces to assemble there prior to attacking the city.

In A.D. 70, the city fell.

You don't have to worry about the "battle of Armageddon". Isn't that good news? You'll find a lot more good news as you begin to see how the gloom and doom of modern prophets is vaporized in the light of the glorious kingdom of Christ which came almost 2,000 years ago.
