6--- THE LAST BATTLE.
6.1 Location of the last battle.
In Ezekiel 38 and 39
we can read in many verses that the last battle will take place in Israel.
More specifically we
read in Revelation 16 verse 16 that in “Armageddon” this battle will occur: “Then the spirits brought the kings together
in the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon”…
View of Jezreel Valley
also known as “Valley of Armageddon”
Verses from Ezekiel 38
that refer to this event are verses 8, 14, and 16 (“You will attack my people Israel like a storm moving across the
land. When the time comes, I will send you to invade my land”.), and also
verses 17 and 18. See also Ezekiel 39 verses 2, (“I will turn him in a new direction and lead him out of the far north until
he comes to the mountains of Israel”.), 4,7,11,12…. and more places.
6.2 Prophecies and visions about the end.
Prophecies and visions
about the end, when the final battle is over, are written in the Bible in many
forms. Some examples are:
- Isaiah 56 verse 5: The Lord says: “Then your name will be
remembered in my Temple and among my people longer than if you had sons and
daughters. You will never be forgotten”.
- Amos 9 verse 15: “I will plant my people on the land I gave
them,
and they will not be pulled up again.”
The Lord your God has spoken.
- Revelation 20 v 1-3:
“Then I saw an angel coming down from
heaven, holding in his hand the key of the abyss and a heavy chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient
serpent—that is, the Devil, or Satan—and chained him up for a thousand years. The angel threw him into the abyss, locked
it, and sealed it, so that he could not deceive the nations any more until the
thousand years were over”. (The scope of this document does not include an
explanation of the "thousand years")
We can read that after
the after the battle, there will be a new earth and a new Jerusalem:
- Revelation 21 verse
1: “Then I saw a new heaven and a new
earth. The first heaven and the first earth disappeared, and the sea
vanished."
- Revelation 21 verse.
2: "And I saw the Holy City, the
new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared and ready, like
a bride dressed to meet her husband."
