For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty… and they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.  (Revelation 16:14&16)

Armageddon has become the byword for complete and utter catastrophe; but in the Bible, it is location associated with several battles.  Transliterated from Hebrew to Greek, Ἁρμαγεδών, this is Harmagedon, from הַר har, ‘hill country’ and Megiddo, a city in the old tribal land of Manasseh overlooking the Jezreel Valley.  Today, the site is known as Tel Megiddo and is found 19 miles south-east of Haifa in the north of modern Israel.
