Revelation 16:16




And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.


  • ·        The English word “Armageddon” appears only once in the Bible (Rev. 16:16). It is the place where God will gather all the nations to go to war against Him. It is the military staging area.

  • ·        The English word “Armageddon” comes from the Hebrew “Harmagedon” or “Har Magedon”, which means the hill of Megiddo. The Hebrew “har” means “hill-country”. Thus, “Har Magedon” is the hill-country of Megiddo.  Megiddo is a town in the valley of Jezreel (or Esdraelon) in northern Israel about sixty miles north of Jerusalem. The valley is about fifteen miles wide and twenty miles long.


Joel 3:2  I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will enter into judgment with them there…..

Zechariah 12:11 In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning at Hada Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
