MEGIDDO — Situated here at the foot of Israel’s Mount Megiddo, the valley pictured below is believed by many Christians to be the site of the Battle of Armageddon, the final fight of End Times before the Second Coming of Jesus.

While all Christians believe that there will be a Second Coming, interpretations differ as to how that will go down.
Without getting too deep into the nitty-gritty of Christian theology, most American evangelical Christians are “premillenial,” which means that they believe Christ will establish a literal Kingdom on Earth after a period of unprecedented chaos and strife known as the Great Tribulation. The belief is based on a passage from the Book of Revelation, the primary eschatological text of the Christian faith, which says that “they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon” for “the battle on the great day of God Almighty.”
The location of the valley is also key to understanding the American evangelical community’s hardline support for Israel. According to most evangelical interpretations of the Battle of Armageddon, all of the world’s armies will descend on this plain for an epic battle against Israel; when the battle ends, the valley will be filled with “blood up to the bridles of the horses,” but the land will be restored to Israel under Christ’s rule, fulfilling God’s covenant with Abraham, which promised to restore the land to his descendants.
Christians have been predicting and preparing for the End Times since the first century, couching the Battle of Armageddon within the political context of their era. One recent theory, for example, postulates that Russian and Arab armies will form an alliance, invading Israel from the west and south, while the Chinese army will invade from the east; meanwhile, Western nations, led by the Antichrist, will fight back the invasion.
Despite the popular fascination with the Apocalypse, however, many American evangelicals have started to eschew End Times debates, signaling a growing shift toward nondenominationalism and political activism.
“Christians need not be divided over eschatology — we can all agree the Lord has it figured out,” California-based evangelical pastor Rob McCoy told Business Insider on a recent visit to Megiddo. “To argue over this while our nation crumbles is like fighting for deck chairs on the Titanic. Let’s get the ship fixed and forget about the chairs. The drug addict can’t even spell eschatology and the single mother raising her kids doesn’t need a lesson on the topic as much as she needs a church to help her with her intense challenges. We need to quit dividing and start uniting in order to change the culture.”

It is time to put these types of beliefs behind us in order to have peace!
None of this is real and things will get better and such ideas are used by the controllers for their ends not the peoples….

Mike me to. The 2nd coming is the Jesus in us waking up back to love / light and to for give. JES – US He is are GOD get it. It is so simple people listen what Mike just said Kingdom of Heaven is within you. That is who we are a part of Jesus A part of GOD him self. All of us as one as we are one is Him. That is the power the dark ones hide from us the trick.It is in all books all stone and all Native teaching.Right in front of our face and you know what I said to my self finding this? JES-ITS -US’
js thank you for that this is what I have said over and over again. Christ said the Kingdom of Heaven is within YOU!!!!!!!!!!!. End of story. The Bible tells us in several places WHO we really are. Christ, Paul, and so on and so on told us this. The problem is we don’t Know or understand how to read the book.
always looking “outside” for answers and help
what about going within ?
who are we & what are our own abilities
more than we realize, i think.
I forgot to say one more thing the Native Indian made tents.They could have built huts in a tent your grounded to Earth. I love to camp always went with trailers or motor home but sit up a tent to sleep out side.I am part American Blackfoot Indian It works for me.I think thats why I do it I don’t know?
Christ married marry the both came from the stars.Christ and marry had a child her name was SaRay.we came from her.Christs and Marry passed there blood to us it was a gift from God.As we or I should say are DNA connects back to more stands and we start to change. It is change from human to a upgraded human. That is what a light worker is higher more balanced out of fear to heart.As we balance earth will balance thats the secret The dark ones new this 2000 years ago.They know are feelings connect us to Earth She feels what we put out. They know She is alive .Are changing has stopped a pole shift why ? are heart people she over 10% of us are doing it and growing fast. If you want Armageddon I wish you well you will get it. The Romans meant that to be they wrote all the books not Jesus.They gave mass indoors Jesus gave mass outdoors and Marry did the same after him.WHY? Earth is alive your grounded to her thats what they mean light workers stay grounded.It is were we get are power the dark ones use Bohemian Grove its outside. all there places are out side thats why we war.Out side grounded, Love the Natives new it.
Sorry, I ment “Milennia” !
I would not be surprised if the so called “Anti-Christ” will be a Greek Nationality.
With the current situation they are in, I am sure, if the opportunity arises there will be someone who will gladly screw Christianity!
And he/she would be a HERO/SAVIOUR considering what Vatican and Christianity have done to the WORLD & HUMANITY over the last couple of centuries
In recent times, expecting parents are thinking of moving to Turkey for the birth of their child! Thinking that there might be a disruption/general strike type of action anywhere & everywhere when the time comes!
Why Turkey? Just because they can NOT afford to go to European countries.
Believe Constantine and the Biship of Rome have already destroyed the Christ conscientiousness represented by the Jesus figure with their Black Nobility (black has nothing to do with race.)
Hi, in the Bible “Ezekiel” it states to the foot and inches from Damascus where the Lords House is, and states that he will remain there forever, some believe that the rebuilding of this holy place and its destruction will mark Armageddon. However, it is written that the 3rd Anti-Christ will cause its destruction, a Evil person, much more evil than Hitler (2nd Anti-Christ), who will be of Greek nationality (the vision on the Ram (horns) & the Goat (wavy hair)) I find it amazing how GODS prophet’s back so long age have accurately described happenings for the future.
A lesson here, History repeats itself and GODS gifts are pure.
