Armmogeddon

If there was really a city it's likely that it was Megiddo, it's where a great many battles were fought, and there have been battles fought there in modern times as well, The battles take place there because it's where Syria and Palestine/Israel come together, the ground is very fertile which in desert country makes it extremely valuable.. When the Roman Emporer Constantine assembled what is now knmon as the Bible he included the Revelation of Saint John because Meggido is such valuable terrritory that the revelation was certain to come true.. Such skillful maniplation of facts is the hallmark of Dishonest Tyrants the world over. He was somewhat successful as the religions he created, now known as Roman Catholiccism and Easterm Orthodoxy, have lasted for 16 hundred years now... in fact the Byzantine Empire with it's headquarters at Constanople Turkey lasted for a thousand years until it was conquered by Islam and had it's name changed to the Ottoman Turkish Empire which lasted until it was dismantled at the end of the first world war.

Some people believe that the book of Revelation was actually written about events that were going on at the time. And other people think it is written about now. Or in the future. Some people believe its just a reminder that Christ will return. Some people believe that it was just a hallucination. There have been a series of both sincere and very misguided people who have been able to interpret the book of Revelation to indicate the time they are currently living in. There were groups in the 1880s that were able to be very convincing that the book of Revelation was talking about that point in time. (and then when the end of the world didn't happen, they moved their "date" back). And there have been times in other parts of history as well. If you really studied into things, you COULD make a valid argument for any of those cases. But the big factor is that sometimes people use that book - and different religious leaders are not exempt - to scare people into doing what they want them to do as well. To preach that the end of the world was going to happen right then . What modern Christians *ALL* believe is that Jesus Christ will come back. We don't know the day, the hour, the year. But where there is disagreement is that some people believe that a date can be pointed to, and some do not believe if there is a date announced its false and not to dwell on it.

Armageddon will come either when the earth is finally scorched steril by the sun or be blow it up either one. When is a complete guess.

A through discussion of Revelation is not something that can be addressed in forum like this one.
