To: paraclete, interpreter (#14) You think there is anything worth fighting for in Syria and yet the world is fighting there, Megiddo is just over the hill and is an ideal place for a battle but more importantly it is a crossroads between Africa, Asia and Europe. Yeah, I also didn't grasp why Megiddo as a site for a final battle was somehow insufficient. Geography alone makes it a credible enough choice in a number of scenarios involving a final battle for control of Israel as a holy land and Jewish homeland. Certainly, Armageddon was an established Greek term (Harmagedon) during the era of Jesus and His disciples. It refers to the cities/forts built on a certain hill, composed of 26 different layers of settlements rebuilt through the ages after conquests. The word "Armageddon" appears only once in the Greek New Testament, in Revelation 16:16. The word is translated to Greek from Hebrew har mYgiddô (הר מגידו), har - Strong H2022 - meaning "a mountain or range of hills (sometimes used figuratively): - hill (country), mount (-ain), X promotion." This is a shortened form of Harar - Strong H2042 - "to loom up; a mountain; -hill, mount". Megiddo - Strong מְגִדּוֹן H4023 /meg-id-do'/ "Megiddon or Megiddo, a place of crowds.")[4] "Mount" Tel Megiddo is not actually a mountain, but a tell (a hill created by many generations of people living and rebuilding on the same spot)[5] on which ancient forts were built to guard the Via Maris, an ancient trade route linking Egypt with the northern empires of Syria, Anatolia and Mesopotamia. Megiddo was the location of various ancient battles, including one in the 15th century BC and one in 609 BC. Modern Megiddo is a town approximately 25 miles (40 km) west-southwest of the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee in the Kishon River area.[6] So, throughout the ancient era, this was a well-known city/fort in the area vital to protecting a major trade route. It also laid along the path of conquest for any empire wanting to conquer Egypt (or get close enough to try). Tooconservative  posted on  2016-01-13   9:19:07 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #16.

Megiddo is nothing today but ruins. I am a Jew and I know exactly what Ar Mageddon means. It means City of the Sanctuary. The Battle of Ar Mageddon begins when the Euphrates is dried up. It was dried up by Saddam Hussein to prepare the way for the kings of the east in the Battle of Ar Mageddon, as prophesied, and it was dry on 9/11. interpreter  posted on  2016-01-13   20:08:23 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #17.

Once you turn everything into a prophecy allegory, you can make any kind of assertion about it. The word is found once in Christian scripture and it has no disavowal that anything other than the tell of Megiddo is meant by the word.

Revelation 16:16 KJV http://www.biblestudytools.com/kjv/revelation/16-16.html 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. Same results with all the popular bible translations. Armageddon is a specific word and had a specific meaning. Often, by people talking about it at great length or expounding and trying to connect other verses to it, they make it sound like Armageddon is every tenth word in the Bible. But it isn't. Rev. 16:16 is the only reference. And it is a word whose meaning was well-established in ancient times. Educated Jews would have known that word. Scripture was never written for the illiterate. They assumed a certain basic knowledge by the reader. Tooconservative  posted on  2016-01-13   21:16:58 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #21. To: TooConservative (#12) I don't generally argue with the Left Behinders. Too stressful. THANK YOU. Bible prophecy is absolutely hopeless -- no interpretation ever actually works, or works out -- and God doesn't want any clock watchers. In addition, it's just another big placebo or substitute for action. The more people stand on the hilltop looking for the second coming, the more liberals still the ground right from under them. God never tells us to sit back and let evildoers take over but that's about what churchianity amounts to. "Liberating a key Iraqi city from ISIS was 'a victory in the worst possible sense'" -- that's us! It's what we DO in the Jew Age, mauling everybody Israel hates and calling it liberation. We "make a desert, and call it peace." Now there's an ancient prophecy (Tacitus) that fits America to a T! America is indeed Babylon the great, "the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird" if anybody's looking for one per Revelation 18 etc. NeoconsNailedAgain  posted on  2016-01-13   22:07:31 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #22.

Megiddo and its variant, Mageddon mean sanctuary as any Jew knows. The ancient city of Megiddo acquired that name because it was the site a sanctuary dedicated to a foreign God (and the Jews consequently destroyed it). The modern word, ghetto, originally meaning a sanctuary for Jews, is a shortened form of the word Megiddo. It is found many times in the OT and always means Sanctuary. interpreter  posted on  2016-01-14   10:10:24 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #24.

Nothing of any real historical significance has ever happened at Megiddo, except an ancient unknown pagan cult erected a sanctuary there (thus the name), and it was destroyed when the Jews conquered the Holy Land. So its ancient ruins are pretty much unimportant, to anyone that is, except crazed eschatologists, and definitely not worth fighting a great world-wide war over. interpreter  posted on  2016-01-14   17:05:14 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #29.

The kings who start Ar Mageddon are the three "kings" pointed to by the Jerusalem-Euphrates vector. That is, a straight line drawn from Jerusalem to the epicenter of where the Euphrates dried up, and then extended eastward, very accurately points to, and bisects, the capitals of the three "demon-possessed" kings of the east who have started the Battle of Ar Mageddon. The first two, in Baghdad and Kabul, have already been dethroned and killed. And the leader(s) in Raqqa is next in line. And I am definitely not a "left-behinder." The "rapture" is a heresy taught by Paul the heretic. The history books say the coming of Jesus with a kingdom was in 312 AD when the sign of Christ appeared in the clouds, and Jesus appeared to St. Constantine and said "By this conquer." That day is called the turning point of history because ever since that day Christian nations have been the dominant force on earth. Instead of a rapture, Constantine sent his messengers with a trumpet and gathered the elect of all the Church together, to Nicea. All the attendees said they felt like they were in heaven. interpreter  posted on  2016-01-14   19:11:08 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #31.

So there can be no doubt that a world war fought over the City of the Sanctuary signifies either Jerusalem or Baghdad (where the Euphrates recently dried up) or both. If we take the two words "city" and "sanctuary" and relate it to Christians rather than Jews, does not Vatican City represent both a city and a sanctuary? Is there not a prophecy in Daniel about the destruction of the "city and the sanctuary"? Also, Pope Francis is predicted to be the last pope because the "city of the seven hills will be destroyed".This could be Vatican City as easily as it could be Rome. They could both be said to "sit on seven hills!" Is it possible that the battle of Armageddon or Ar Megeddo is the destruction of Vatican City, and is the final battle, before the return of Jesus, in which the pope is killed? Jesus then returns before a new pope can be elected. If so, we can almost exactly pinpoint the arrival date of The Messiah alpete  posted on  2016-04-26   17:53:43 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest
