Revelation 16:16 Battle at Armageddon
1. Revelation 16:16 Battle at Armageddon
Genesis 8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. [kjv]
… הרי … [he]
The battle of "
Armageddon" is from the Hebrew for
"Har" "
Megiddon", the
"Mountain" of "
Megiddo".
The mound (or city) of Megiddo is, in Hebrew, "
Tel Megiddo". The
"mountain" is actually a
"mound" of a "
city" that has built up, layer by layer, such that it is referred to as a
"mountain".
Megiddo is found twelve times in the
OT (Old Testament) and once in Revelation.
2. Genesis 8:4
KJV: And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

Greek: και εκαθισεν η κιβωτος εν μηνι τω εβδομω εβδομη και εικαδι του μηνος επι τα ορη τα αραρατ
3. Revelation 16:16 Armageddon
Revelation 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [kjv]
και συνηγαγεν αυτους εις τον τοπον τον καλουμενον εβραιστι αρ μαγεδων [gnt]
The term Armageddon is known in modern times as a reference to the end of the world. Armageddon is in the Jezreel Valley and is near Nazareth.
Is "
Armageddon" a "
battle" as in one part of a "
war" or is "
Armageddon" a "
war" consisting of a series of battles? Most "
wars" consist of many "
battles". Or does it not matter?
