Is the book of revelation about the war with the inner self. good vs evil?

Question

I think that armagedon is a war but i don't think it will be a literal war. Can it be a spiritual war within us that we can't see..and in the end it's Jesus who wins. he conquers. Does anyone see this when they read this part of the bible?

Answer 1

It hink that is a really interesting perspective!

Answer 2

Absolutely!!

It doesn't look like too many other answers here agree. However, I have read the book that explains what EVERY verse in Revelation means, and you are quite right.

I used to believe Armageddon was going to be literal. Now I know I was wrong.

Here are a few paragraphs from pages 368-371 the book:

In order to understand what John is presenting as “a place” where this “great battle” between Christ and the world ensues, it is imperative to understand what the word “Armageddon” means “in the Hebrew tongue.”

The word Armageddon is derived from “Mount Megiddo,” Har Megido in Hebrew. This was the ancient site of the Great Battle of Megiddo. This battle occurred circa 609 BC, between the armies of Egypt and the armies of the kingdom of Judah.

...
The armies of Egypt, of course, represent our worldliness and the lusts and desires of the world. The armies of Judah represent the commandment to love your neighbor as yourself. Remember: ALLthe law and the prophets are predicated upon this law:

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. (Matthew 7:12)

...
As the ways of the “dragon, the beast, and the false prophet” become more evident and widespread in the lives of the people, they are confronted by the words of Christ. Each of us has “the light of Christ” within us, or better, the ability to understand that forgiveness, love, compassion, and caring for one another brings more peace and happiness than our own selfish pursuits and desires. When these two values meet, our conscience, which is the “light of Christ,” weighs the decision to love others, or love ourselves––and a “battle” ensues.

It is “the place” where the words of Christ (the army of Judah) that teach us to love one another “block” the selfish desires of our human heart (the army of Egypt).

...
The “place” where our choices are “gathered together” (our own Via Maris) is in our own conscience. In this quiet place, the word of truth meets up with the word of the world—this is the battlefield—yes, our own“Armageddon.”

Answer 3

Armageddon is a battle of good vs evil; and good will every time. God is not going to allow Satan to defeat Him. The battle of good and evil is in the mind and in the world. That is why christian are to be in the world but not of the world. Our behavior is to draw darkness to the light. He is calling all men everywhere to repent, because evil is NOT GOING TO WIN.

Answer 4

note

devil=left
4522912=125620
25=16
7=7

right=god

based on the same mathemATICS.

so it was said in NWToftHS Satan ruled as a god.

and in cartoons a devil on one shouldre and an angel on the other.

And the true god was the one who put a 1000 year seal on devil meaning 1000=M=IVI sealed together = IIII I sealed together. Thus your God who is Satan, the Devil has that description that is the God of Revelation who is a very different person then God Jehovah who outlandishly claimed to have created the world. well read on How this angel-god created....

Answer 5

I disagree. If it was an inner battle, then why the warning about 666 and so many other things. I believe it is a literal war, and it will be soon.
