The Battle of Armageddon
- The valley of Jezreel or Esdraelon is located west of the Jordan River and east of the Mediterranean Sea.
- The Battle of Armageddon will be fought in this area.
- The name “Armageddon” is taken from the strategic military city of Megiddo, which was the fortified chariot city of Solomon.
- Armageddon, it has been said, “will be the battleground for the greatest blood bath the world has ever seen!”
144,000 Sealed
- The Antichrist, with the false prophet, will rule the world with an iron hand for three and a half years. He will extend control over the political, religious, and economic life of the world.
- God will preserve 144,000 believers during this time. He will deliver this remnant, who will be hidden from the destructive power of the Antichrist.
- Most believe that the 144,00 will be Jews who turn to Jesus during this time.
Preparation for Armageddon
- The Jews will be a thorn in the flesh of this world leader. He will be able to break the will of the other nations but not them.
- He will determine to destroy them and will gather his leaders and armies together for this purpose.
- At this time the Lord will intervene with a heavenly army.
- Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army
- Rev 16:13-14; 16 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty… And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Armageddon Closes Out the Tribulation
- This battle will be the end of the Tribulation. It will be the final attack of the Antichrist against God and His people.
- The cup of God’s wrath will be full at this time, and He will personally come to end the wild and savage earthly reign of the beast and his system.
- After this battle Jesus will set up the millennial reign on earth (one thousand years of peace).
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:11, 14, 16).
- And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge, and make war
- And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean
- And he had on his vesture, and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS
The Judgment of the Beast and False Prophet
- Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
