Revealing Eschatology.

The United Nations General Assembly where world leaders meet.

Rev. 16-13-14,16, "I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.---They gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Harmagedon."
What does Harmagedon mean?
First note, in the original texts the word John wrote is how it is given here, with one "d" not two "d's" as is usually given in today's Bibles. Most translations give us "Armageddon", and this is to mean "city of Megiddo. For "Ar" is to mean "city" and "megeddon" is to mean "megiddo." The word "megiddo" means "a place of crowds." The city megiddo was in a very marked position on the southern rim of the Plain of Esdraelon (the Valley of Jezreel) on the frontier borders of the territories of the tribes of Issachar and Manassah, 6 miles from Mt. Carmel and 11 miles from Nazereth.
But the word "Armageddon" given us by the translators is not the word John used, and the word we should follow. The word John wrote and gave us is "Harmagedon," and is important to follow in order to get the proper meaning of the word of why he would write it that way. First, "Har" means "mount"and "magedon" or "megido" is to mean "place of crowds." This is the proper translation of the Hebrew word "Harmagedon" that John wrote. And it is clear he had a good reason for doing so, for it was a prophecy to come, where the word meaning would be important to the revealing of the prophecy's meaning. So we can see the word John gave us to follow as meaning a "mount" or "mountain" of a "place of crowds." And not "city of megiddo" that once existed on the Plain of Esdraelon. There is a huge difference in meaning here as can be seen. So in following "the Lord's word" the word means "a mount or mountain which consists of a place of crowds."
Because of this translation given us by translators, many have come to believe its meaning. That the area John mentions is where the armies of the kings gather for this great battle against God. On the Plain of Esdraelon or Plain of Jezreel where millions upon millions of troops will converge there for this great battle. But they have a problem when they take this in that literal sense. That being there is no way these armies and their weapons of war could accomadate those many millions of troops in such a small and contained area. When these facts are brought up to them, they theorize other ways and means of how it may or could be done. Rather than looking to Revelation and John's reason of why he used that Hebrew word and its spelling the way he did. Then when followed properly they would see what he mentions is not the literal location nor place of the Plain of Esdraelon, but another place. Yes another place that would meet the meaning and place he was conveying in that word he gave us.
Reading Rev. 16-14 closely, "---and they (the demons) go out to the kings of the whole world, to "gather them" for the battle on the great day of God Almighty." We see these demons that come out of the mouth of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet go out and "gather the kings" of the whole world "for the battle" on the day of the Lord. And John tells us in verse 16 "where" they gathered them ; to Harmagedon, "the mount or mountain of the place of crowds." There is no mention here of "armies" that would be gathered, just the kings are to be gathered to this mountain place of crowds; though these kings have armies at their disposal. Just the kings are mentioned here by John.
This time of the prophecy is seen in Rev. 20-7-9, "When the thousand years are over Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to decieve the nations in the four corners of the earth (called) Gog and Magog--" We see here that Gog and Magog comes from the four corners of the earth. This expression means all those of the earth that are against the Lord and his people. And it is "to gather them for battle." ---and they surrounded the camp (dwelling place) of God's people. The city he loves (figure of speech--the heavenly Jerusalem where saints reside and are heirs to). But  fire (God's prophetic judgements) came down from heaven and devoured them."
The meaning of the two words "Gog" and "Magog" are given us in Ezek. 38-2 and 39-1. There they speak of Gog as being the chief prince, or leader of the land of Magog. Rev. 20-7-9 speaks of Gog and Magog as being the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, and they will be decieved by Satan. So here Magog is seen as the nations of the world and Gog is seen as the "chief prince" of these nations of the world. He is also seen as the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Many agree that these areas mentioned are a part of what once was Russia before her fall beginning in 1989. So here now, this chief prince called Gog is ruler, not only over Russia, the last superpower on earth to fall, but now is chief prince or ruler over all of Magog which is all the nations of the world called Gog and Magog in Rev. 20-7-9.
This chief prince called Gog of the land of Magog (the earth of nations) is the leader who would be in office at the time of the prophecy's fulfillment.Gog "of the land", Gog who is of the land of Magog (earth); Gog who resides in, is the United States of America. And at the time of the prophecy's fulfillment, George Bush Sr. was President. The prophecy seen in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39, in part was the Persian Gulf War. Gog was then the chief prince (leader) of Meshech and Tubal and the many nations with him. During the Persian Gulf War the Allied nations, including Russia were led by the United States. And even before the start of the war, the aim of the U.S. was to be that after the war's end, they would find a way to bring "peace" to the Middle East. After the war this is what they immediately began to do. "They went out to the kings (leaders) of the whole world, to gather them for the battle for that great day of God Almighty."
Satan and his demons decieve the nations using the beast and false prophet in a campaign (battle) against God and his saints, concerning Israel, by gathering the kings (leaders) of the world to break God's covenant land promise he gave to the remnant of Israel, of returning to their land and becoming a nation again "always."
When the prophecy was to be fulfilled, Israel would be back in her land again. The U.N. partition plan of 1947 is the original area of land given Israel, though she occupies much more now. But the original area of land given her in 1947 sees her western border by the Mediterranean Sea to begin at her northern end to be the border of Acre, not to many miles from Haifa, or Mt. Carmel and the Plain of Jezreel. Her southern border would be Eilat. In between Beersheba and Eilat is the Negev desert. From the days of the judges of Israel, Beersheba was the southern boundary or limit of the Promised Land, and this was always recognized.
Now the length in miles from Mt. Carmel to the southern border of Beersheba would be about 180 miles. From this northern and southern border, is what she occupies today, besides her occupied territories. This area can be seen in Rev. 14-20, "They were trampled in the winepress outside the city,---for a distance of about 180 miles."

This is the same distance of land that Israel occupies today, and the reason for God's wrath, the day of God Almighty. As was noted "Harmagedon" is to mean the "mount or mountain of the place of crowds," where they gather these kings of the world. So where is this place? Since we now know that the Plain of Jezreel in Israel cannot be the gathering place for the reasons given, and given that the beast is the U.S., the chief prince of the land of Magog and the nations of the world. We look there, to this mountain to find this place called the "mount and place of crowds. Where the gathering of these kings is being fulfilled very quickly now.
The Mount and place of crowds we seek is found in our U.S. history. Washington, D.C.; Capital of the U.S. A ten mile square diamond at the Potomac River. Chosen by George Washington in 1790 on land ceded from Virginia and Maryland. The White House stands at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, about a mile and a half northwest of the Capital building. The Capital (building) rises from a hill once known as "Jenkin's Hill," but now more familiarly called "The Hill "(mount, the place of crowds). This is where the east-west and north-south axis of Washington cross-at the heart of the nation standing as a symbol of freedom and democracy." We see this Capital building or area is called the "Hill" or mount and is a place of crowds. And history shows shows us that they gather kings from the whole world to meet here and discuss various and vital world issues.
Concerning Israel, when the time would come to fulfill the final "seven" seen in Dan. 9-27, just prior to that time, the Lord would bring in the phase of the prophecy that would go on to "begin the gathering of the kings worldwide." That phase being the Persian Gulf War in 1991. This war in the Middle East was the very reason that would bring about the following events called "land for peace" between the Arabs and Israel. This was the time when the gathering of the kings worldwide began. We see this in Dan. 9-27, "He makes a covenant with many---." To gather the kings and their nations together for "the battle on that great day of God Almighty." And that "great day" (consummation) is very near now, as the prophecy approaches its fulfillment; the fall of Babylon.
Rev. 16-15-16, "Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed. And they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Harmagedon."
Now the final phases of this prophecy have recently come to pass, because of the terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. The gathering of the kings continue to fight worldwide terrorism, while many of the Lord's saints are caught in the middle and "surrounded (Rev. 20-7-9)". The U.S. is again going out to the kings of the world to gather a coalition to stop this terrorism, wherever it may be found. AS in the Persian Gulf War, the locations and areas seen in the prophecy of Ezekiel chapters 38-39 remain the same, and the nations of peoples mentioned there. That being the East, the Middle East, parts of Africa, Somolia and etc. And of course the Israelis, Palestinians, Lebanon, Syria, Iran , Iraq, and other areas where terrorism is at its height. The signs are there for all to see that the final phases of the fulfillment of the Lord's prophecy is quickly coming to its fulfillment.
This gathering place called Harmagedon could properly be called the "mountain city, the place of crowds" where these kings of the world would gather. This mountain city is also called in Rev. 16-19 and 17-5 the Harlot, the Great ( mountain city) Babylon, the mystery name given her there. Whereas in Rev. 13-18 she is called a beast who has "man's number" and that number is 666. In this mountain city also lies the United Nations Headquarters in New York, right across the street from the very place where the Twin Towers fell, a sign of God's wrath of her coming fall, the Harlot, Babylon the Great. In that very place where the United Nations sits, the world nations that gather and meet. This is the mountain city that is called in Hebrew Harmagedon where they would gather the kings together for that great day of God Almighty.
"Hitherto is the end of (this) account. As for me, my thoughts much troubled me and my countenance (composure) changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart" (Dan. 7-28).
