The Final Battle!
"For they are spirits of demons, performing signs,
which go out to the kings of the earth and of the
whole world, to
gather them to the battle of that
great day of God Almighty…. Together to the
place called in Hebrew, Armageddon."
Revelation 16: 14, 16
Napoleon Bonaparte reported to have called the plain of
Jezreel “the most natural battleground of the whole earth”
a place where “all the armies of the world could maneuver
their forces.” This vast plain in central Israel
spreads out
from the base of Mount Megiddo.
Mount in Hebrew is har added to
Hebrew megiddon it
results in Armageddon, the site of the final battle when
Christ returns to judge the nations and establish His
Kingdom on earth.
This battle will occur at the end of the seven-year Tribulation
when Christ returns to earth from heaven with the armies of
His saints. Most of the nations of the world, deceived by the
Antichrist, will array themselves to fight against Christ
but
will succumb to His judgment (Revelation 19:11-21).
Following this victory over evil, Christ will
inaugurate His thousand-year, righteous
rule centered in Jerusalem.
Thank God today that the final battle is
coming when righteousness will triumph
over evil and peace will prevail.
"The first step on the way to
victory is to recognize the
enemy."
Corrie ten Boom
