Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus (Titus 2:13)

ARMAGEDDON, SUMMARY Revelation 19:17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in midheaven, "Come, assemble for the great supper of God, Armageddon (the ancient hill and valley of Megiddo, west of Jordan in the plain of Jezreel) is the appointed place for the beginning of the great battle in which the Lord, at His coming in glory, will deliver the Jewish remnant besieged by the Gentile world-powers under the Beast and False Prophet. (Rev 16:13-16); (Zec 12:1-9). Apparently, the besieging hosts, whose approach to Jerusalem is described in (Isa 10:28-32) alarmed by the signs which precede the Lord's coming (Mat 24:29); (Mat 24:30) have fallen back to Megiddo, after the events of (Zec 14:2) where their destruction begins; a destruction consummated in Moab and the plains of Idumea. (Isa 63:1-6). This battle is the first event in "the day of Jehovah" (Isa 2:12) and is the fulfilment of the smiting-stone prophecy of (Dan 2:35).
