The word is also used simply to describe a decisive or catastrophic conflict or event.
hnnn... wrongly so.

armageddon
occurs only in Rev. 16:16 (R.V., "Har-Magedon"), as symbolically designating the
place where the "battle of that great day of God Almighty" (ver. 14) shall be
fought. The word properly means the "mount of Megiddo." It is the scene of the
final conflict between Christ and Antichrist.

Calling anything else Armageddon, would be wrong.

Well Maybe it will be moved
But with the current events in the Middle East, I thought it would be ok to have it posted in here:)

I am Catholic, but don't "believe" everything the church says regarding prophecy. I keep an open mind
Sorry James was repping you and the silly system just went haywire.
Hope you recieved them.
I was told today by a friend that it may be soon especially if Iran gets way involved.
Not really sure though.

And people in my parent's church were "standing by the window" because they thought the gulf war was it. (the original, with bush senior.) Desert Storm.

I'm sure that people involved in WWI, and WWII thought the same. But Jesus told us not to be fooled, as there would be wars, and rumors of wars... that has happened constantly since the dawn of time!

Finally, someone has mentioned that.

I think it's different here though
Gulf War 1 did not directly involve Israel and I think that was a little bit of paranoia
The other two wars, WWI and WWII well occured before Israel existed so they don't count.
It appears the countries surrounding Israel are actually lining up against it...

Anyone know of the prophecy involving the Kings of the North which supposedly involve Iran and possibly Russia?

If you consider "Armageddon" to be an immense conflagration, then that will occur in about 5 x 10^9 years. The sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen into helium. The heavier helium sinks into the sun's core, with the hydrogen in the outer layers. The immense heat produced balances the internal gravity, which would cause the sun to collapse. But as the hydrogen becomes depleted, and less energy is generated, gravity will eventually take over. The core will become compressed, but this will temporarily generate such enormous heat that the star's outer layers will expand. The sun will become a red giant, and its diameter will extend beyond the earth's orbit. Our planet will be vaporized by this expansion of the sun's outer layer. Eventually, as this energy is dissipated, the sun will shrink down to a white dwarf. Our sun does not have enough mass to become a black hole. So the earth will ultimately be consumed by the sun. But we've got 5 billion years left. Or so the story goes.

let me know how that theory works out, will you?
