Armageddon is actually a battle. According to the bible it’s the battle where God finally comes in and takes over the world and rules the WORLD. It should have been ruled all along. The reason it’s called Armageddon means mount of MEGDDO IN HEBREW. I don’t know how much background you have in Bible prophecy, so I will keep to the basic Scriptural evidence. This division of theology covers a very broad spectrum, and can include much fanciful speculative. I even get carried away sometimes! Let me take you to view the Battle of Armageddon.
The Bible teaching about the Battle of Armageddon reveals that the times will be so desperate on earth that humanity will turn to anyone to deliver them – except God. At first the united world armies are reluctant to take on the forces of God led by the Lamb of God, which is Jesus (Revelation 6:15-17).
Consequently, Satan sends out, “spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty…And they gathered them together to the place which in Hebrew is called Har-Magedon” (Revelation 16:14, 16).
The miracles of Antichrist and his henchmen are enough to convince the world leaders that Antichrist has the wits and power to defeat God. They are under tremendous pressure. On the one hand the economic, military, social, physical, and political world is in chaos.
On the other hand, they refuse to turn to God. Thirdly, this charismatic, intellectual, crafty, and powerful figure cons them into believing he can defeat God with their help. Times are terrible, and they must act quickly. However, they are led into a horrifying ambush – the huge trap called the Battle of Armageddon.
The outcome of this ghastly battle is that the leadership will be captured. The Antichrist and his expert theologian, the false prophet, will be thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone (Revelation 19:20). The rest were killed. Satan, however, will have a different ending. He will be bound and sealed in the abyss for one thousand years, according to the Bible.
His access to the earth will be terminated. However, at the end of that imprisonment, he will be released, and allowed to assemble another futile effort against God. He loses.
The Bible states, “And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the best and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10).
