Will UAVs and particle weapons be needed?

The end is not anytime soon.

Yes, I think so. There should be a "Destruction Tax", or a "Kill Tax", or a "Armageddon Tax" to help prepare the way for the four horses of the alpha and omega.
Towards that end, many Christians could tax the terrorist in the Middle East and in the West. This tax revenue could prepare a chilling preview of a coming military showdown that will determine if freedom and our way of life will survive.
Prophecy economists have uncovered evidence that the forces of extremist Islam are committed to destroying Israel and to conquering all of western civilization. Drawing from firsthand interviews and intelligence reports, plus exhaustive research into Scripture, historical trends, religious movements, and current events, a "Destruction Tax" could prepare the way for the opening stages of the next world war to begin.
This extra tax revenue would help the Israeli army to battle the invading forces of Russia and extreme Islam, so God canintervene to defend Israel without running up large national deficits that future generations will have to pay for..

I agree with Esther.
Looking up the definition of Armageddon in the dictionary only reiterates our point:
Ar·ma·ged·don [ahr-muh-ged-n]
–noun 1. the place where the final battle will be fought between the forces of good and evil (probably so called in reference to the battlefield of Megiddo. Rev. 16:16).
2. the last and completely destructive battle: The arms race can lead to Armageddon.
3. any great and crucial conflict.
Ar|ma|ged|don «AHR muh GEHD uhn», noun.
1. the place of a great and final conflict between the forces of good and evil at the end of the world (in the Bible, Revelation 16:16).
2. Figurative. any great and final conflict
I find it interesting that the first definition at both sources is the same...something to think about.
Another thing that I find interesting is that on WorldBook.com Armageddon is described as the final battle "at the end of the world"...so why would we be trying to prepare in any way other than coming to forgiveness from our personal savior and finding peace with ourselves. How could we prepare? How could our government save us? That's exactly it, they won't be able to. This is a subject where it comes down to us, and our beliefs, not the beliefs or weapons of our country and leaders. It comes right down to a personal battle, it will be the time when we have to depend on ourselves and our beliefs, and become independent of our country and fight for our beliefs and what we personally believe will save us.

Satan is deceiving the leaders of the world, preparing them for the Battle of Armageddon, which as we read in Re 16:14 is also called "the war of the great day of God the Almighty."
The humans on Earth will be fighting God Himself, just as they did during the first coming of Christ, in which they crucified Him. The difference now is that Christ is not coming to Earth as the Lamb to allow Himself to be slaughtered; He is returning as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and He will win this battle against Satan.
Our God and Lord Yeshua is not the "politically correct" weakling that most churches preach. He is a warrior Then Jesus' WILL destroy the Antichrist and his one-world empire in the awesome Battle of Armageddon.

Armageddon is Jehovah Gods war to sanctify his Great and Holy Name.
Governments can not cause it, only Jehovah can.

Armaggedon is the final battle between the forces of evil (satan) and Jesus. I hardly think God needs a particle weapon...since the bible says it is by the word of His mouth that His enemies will be vanquished.
