2) The Bible's Warning About Armageddon.

The Bible gives a warning. The Bible tells us what is going to happen. It also tells when and where it is going to happen. It even tells us why it is going to happen.

The workers in the Twin Tower Trade Centre had no warning. But, the whole world, thanks to the movies, has been warned that ‘Armageddon ‘ is a Biblical term, which spells disaster on a grand scale. Every individual has a responsibility to check it out and search it out for themselves if they wish to survive!

Do You Want To Survive?

If so, you owe it to yourself and your family, to search out the matter.

Throughout the Bible, there are frequent allusions, in the prophecies, to a great battle that will be fought. However, reference to ‘Armageddon’ is found in only one place in the Bible, Revelation 16:16.

We read,

Revelation 16:13-14: I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out 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.

Here we see that a spirit of warfare will arise among many nations, leading them to that “battle of that great day of God Almighty.”

At that time, Christ returns, as a thief, to the world. Christ, speaking to the apostle John in the book of Revelation states “Behold I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments.”(Revelation 16:16) That is the time of Christ’s (Christos/ anointed/ Messiah) return to this earth. It is then that they, the nations, “are gathered into a place called in the HEBREW tongue ARMAGEDDON.”
