Tel Megiddo

The site of the final battle of this age in which God intervenes to destroy the armies of satan and to cast satan into the bottomless pit (Rev 16:16). Scholars disagree abouth the exact location of this place, but the most likey possibility is the valley between mount caramel and the city of Jezreel. This valley (known as the valley of Jezreel and sometimes referred to as the Plain of Esdraelon) was the crossroads of two ancient trade routes and thus was a strategic military site and the scene of many ancient battles.

Because of this history, Megiddo became a symbol of the final conflict between God and the forces of evil. According to the book of Revelation, at Armageddon “the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath (Rev 16 16) will be poured out and the forces of evil will be poured out and the forces of evil will be overthrown and destroyed.
