ARMAGEDDON
The final Gentile Global Government is headed up by the Antichrist and the False Prophet. In the middle of the tribulation they break the Israel Peace-Covenant and desecrate the Temple in Jerusalem. God steps in and obliterates their capital city - the city of Babylon in Iraq. In great fury the Anti-Christ moves his government over to Jerusalem and then plans to exterminate the nation of Israel. Great persecution follows and finally after three years demons are sent forth to gather the world`s armies to the plain at the north of Israel, Armageddon.
`...they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that Great day of God Almighty.....and they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.` (Rev. 16: 14 & 16)
Thus the armies of every nation in the world will initially gather at Armageddon. There, they will be consolidated into one mighty invasion force. It will advance in extended order, stretching from the Mediterranean Sea, to the Jordan valley. This gigantic army will sweep through the plains of Esdraelon and Samaria conquering and subduing every town and village, exterminating all Israelis enroute.
Finally this force will encompass the city of Jerusalem which will eventually be overwhelmed, conquered and looted. Two-thirds of the whole Israel nation will be slain. Jesus said -
`When you see, Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognise that her desolation is at hand.` (Luke 21: 20)
Israel as a nation will be broken and crushed. The armies of all the nations of the world will be marshalled in victory formation outside Jerusalem. What a triumph! The whole world of at least 300 million troops against Israel! What an overkill!! However it is predicted by Jesus that it will be a pyrrhic victory. (pyrrhic - costing more to the victor than to the vanquished).
`And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky.` (Matt. 24: 30)
