During our Summer Israel trip we climbed up Mt Tabor. Our tour guide said the view of the valley below was the future site of the Battle of Armageddon in Revelations. See the youtube video!

Ah, well some think the Russians will ride horses into that area to do battle. Then again other see it as symbolic of the final earth wide battle. Guess which makes more sense.

Warning against Presumption

The place where the final battle will be fought is between your heart and mind.
So I say, walk by the Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of your flesh.

Yes. Your tour guide is correct. The armies of the world will gather in the valley of Jezreel, also called the Plain of Esdraelon which will be the staging area for the Armageddon campaign which will spread out and cover the land. The name 'Armageddon' means Mount of Megiddo which is on the southern end of the Plain of Esdraelon. It's a big valley.

The slaughter of humanity through Religious beliefs:

"A war no one wants, but which man hasn’t the wisdom to avoid.
Thus, it is possible to bring it about through his own volition."

Read: The Battle of Megiddo (1918), if interested.
I wonder, how many more books will be written and sold?

Remember: The Bible book of Revelation is highly symbolic written in very-vivid word pictures or visions. That war to end all wars [ Armageddon ] is Not a literal place. Earth is the battlefield - Jeremiah 25 vs 31-33; Isaiah 11 vs 3,4; Rev. 19 vs 11,15

Actually, the name 'Armageddon' refers to the Mount of Megiddo which is at the southern end of plain of Esdraelon. The Armageddon Campaign which will take place at the end of the Tribulation will involve the Gentile armies being gathered to destroy Israel and is stated very specifically to take place in Megiddo and the plain of Esdraelon - valley of Jezreel (Rev. 16:16), Jehoshaphat Valley, east of Jerusalem (Ezek. 39:11; Joel 3:2), Jerusalem (Zech. 12:2-11; 14:2) and Edom (Isa. 34:1-16; 63:1-6). The armies will initially gather on the plain of Esdraelon.

While the Tribulation will involve the entire world, the Armageddon Campaign is specific to the land of Israel and Palestine. The phrase 'covering the land' in Ezek. 38:9,16 refers to roughly the area shown below and is the area that the Armageddon Campaign will involve.

In Revelations 16:14....says ``spirits of devils , working miracles, which go forth to the Kings of the earth and of the whole world to gather them to the battle of the great day of God Almighty ``.......Which literally says America and all nations will be there or support their cause against Israel and the Plan or purpose of God
