Armageddon is the final battle between Satan and Jehovah's armies where the final battle before heaven will descend upon Jerusalem. It is a square mile battlefield that is in the plains of Megiddo, Israel. Armies from the East will challenge armies from the West. At the end, there will be only one victor, and all the evil in the world will be vanquished. This is foretold in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. This battle is told to John the Baptist before Jesus came into prominence...It definitely bears study, because the prophecy says that Israel will be victorious in this final battle.

Armageddon refers generally to end times or giant, apocalyptic catastrophes in various religions and cultures. It may also refer to any great loss of life in battle or use of weapons of mass destruction.

The word Armageddon is known only from a single verse in the Greek New Testament, but it is thought to be derived from the Hebrew words Har Megido (הר מגידו), meaning "Hill of Megiddo". The referred site is a valley plain called Megiddo, which was the location of many decisive battles in ancient times (see Battle of Megiddo). One of these, which took place in 609 BC and is described in 2 Kings 28-30 (see Books of Kings) and 2 Chronicles 20-25 (see Books of Chronicles), resulted in the death of Josiah, a young and charismatic ruler whose quick and untimely death precipitated the decline of the dynasty of David and may have inspired stories of the return of a Messiah from this lineage. The valley is marked by the presence of the archaeological mound or tell, representing the accumulated ruins of Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements that flourished between 5,000 years ago and 650 BC. Some would argue that the word Armageddon is an early example of a mondegreen.

The only mention of the word Armageddon in the Bible appears in Revelation 16:16: "And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon" (KJV).[1] The Bible includes many passages that refer to the concept of Armageddon, however. But this specific Bible prophecy reference is ambiguous whether any event actually takes place here, or whether the gathering of armies is only to be seen as a sign.

In fact, a gathering of the Roman army occurred at this place as a staging ground for one of their assaults on Jerusalem in AD 67. This is consistent with the preterist interpretation that the events of Revelation 16:17-21 refer to events culminating in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. However, one indication that the book predicts a future event is the mention of an army from the east of two hundred million, a number that would not have been likely in any battle of that period.

Another interpretation is that the sudden death of Josiah, a religious reformer in his early 30s who showed great promise of renewing a theocratic Jewish state, resulted in myths of his triumphant return. Josiah is said to have died at the hands of the Egyptian pharoah Necho II just as the Davidic monarchy was in ascendancy after a period of disarray and corruption. His death precipitated the decline of a strongly monotheistic faction in Judea in the years prior to the Babylonian captivity. The idea that a Davidic king would return someday to fight and win at Megiddo is an example of the myth of eternal return.

Before the Second World War, the First World War was commonly referred to in newspapers and books as "Armageddon", in addition to "the Great War".
