Revelations 16:16. "and in the Hebrew language it is called Armageddon."

There is no word "Armageddon" in the Hebrew language; the word Armageddon is a contraction or mistranslation for the words,"Mount of the Congregation Zion".

Ar / ma / ged / don. Also: Har / ma / ged / on.
Har / edah / siyyon.
Har: Mount or Mountain.
Edah or Mowed: Assembly, Community or Congregation.
Siyyon: Zion.


Revelations 16:13-16. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and that beast, and out of the mouth of a false prophet.
14. For they have evil spirits, working miracles for the rulers of the earth and the whole world, to gather them togather to do battle against God Almighty on that great day.
15. Watch, I come like a thief. Blessed is he that keeps watch, and keeps his cloths, or else he will walk naked, and people will see his shame.
16. And they gathered them together to that place, and in the Hebrew language it is called; Mount of the Congregation Zion.

Isaiah 29:8. So will it be with the hordes of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion.

Proverbs 9:1. Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn out its seven pillars.

Revelations 3:12. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God.

Zechariah 3:9. There are seven eyes on that one stone,

Zechariah 4:10. These seven are the eyes of the lord,

Revelations 5:6. He had seven horns and seven eyes,

Daniel 12:3. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars

Revelations 1:20. The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lamps is this: The seven stars are the angels (messengers of God) of the seven churches (congregations),

Zechriah 3:8. Listen O high priest of Joshua and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come; I am going to bring my servent, the Branch. (Yahshua)

It is a presumption by some scholars, and not a fact, that Megiddo is a battlefield described in the Bible, in relationship to Revelation 16:16, as a place of a predicted final struggle between good and evil. Some believe that the name may be taken from that of the battlefield of Megiddo valley. See Judges 5:19.
The word "Megiddo" appears in scripture twelve times, and never with the word "Har" for (Mount) in front of it. The word "Megiddon" is a King James translation in the Old Testament only; and in Revelation 16:16, the King James uses the word spelling "Armageddon". The Valley of Megiddo and Armageddon have no biblical relationship.


King James Version: Zechariah 12:9-11. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications; and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they will mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11. In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as (Like) the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

Zion is not only the faithful in Israel and the world, but it is also a city in the last days according to scripture.
There is a great deal of scripture to support what I claim, with the word "Zion". However, there is no scripture to support that the valley of Megiddo is a gathering place for Zion.
The false prophet will tell the leaders of the world that Zion must be destroyed, so that their decendants will inherit the earth.

From what you have read so far, would you say that Mount Zion is a physical place or a spiritual place or is it both?

I will go with it is like Mount Sinai when the Lord visited it.. It does have a physical location but will not be Mount Zion until the Lord arrives and the spiritual reality has made its physical presence known.

Mount Zion is a literal place in Israel, but it is also parabolic, for the general assembly of God's people throughout the world. More specifically it is the Seven Thunders aka the Seven Lamp-sticks. Before Yahshua's return there must be "Six Lamp-sticks" in order for prophecy to be fulfilled. As you can see there is not a one. This has been very stressful for me knowing this, even though I know the time of the end will go beyond what people think. The clock is ticking. There must be at least Six Lamp-sticks in the coming days of the Two Witnesses. And of the seventh it will be said that that is the middle Lamp-stick with Christ in heaven.
