It symbolizes the ultimate confrontation between God and the forces of darkness, leading to the end of the present age and the establishment of God's kingdom.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The term "Armageddon" is rooted in the ancient city of Megiddo, a strategic military site in northern Israel known for its historical battles. Megiddo was a significant location in the ancient Near East, often serving as a battleground due to its strategic position along major trade routes. In biblical prophecy, Armageddon represents the culmination of spiritual warfare and the decisive victory of God over evil.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Hebrew origin <a href="/hebrew/2022.htm">har</a> and <a href="/hebrew/4023b.htm">Megiddon</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Har-Magedon, a mountain of unc. location<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Har-Magedon (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 717: Ἁρμαγεδών</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Ἁρμαγεδών</span></span> (Griesbach <span class="greek2">Ἁρμαγεδών</span>; <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">ἁρ</span> <span class="greek2">Μαγεδων</span>, see their Introductory § 408; <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> Proleg., p. 106) or (so <span class="manuref">Rec.</span>) <span class="greek2">Ἁρμαγεδδών</span>, <span class="accented">Har-Magedon</span> or <span class="accented">Armageddon,</span> indeclinable proper name of an imaginary place: <a href="/interlinear/revelation/16-16.htm">Revelation 16:16</a>. Many, following Beza and Glassius, suppose that the name is compounded of <span class="hebrew">הַר</span> mountain, and <span class="hebrew">מְגִדּו</span> or <span class="hebrew">מְגִדּון</span>, the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> <span class="greek2">Μαγεδω</span>, <span class="greek2">Μαγεδδω</span>. Megiddo was a city of the Manassites, situated in the great plain of the tribe of Issachar, and famous for a double slaughter, first of the Canaanites (<a href="/interlinear/judges/5-19.htm">Judges 5:19</a>), and again of the Israelites (<a href="/interlinear/2_kings/23-29.htm">2 Kings 23:29</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/35-22.htm">2 Chronicles 35:22</a>, cf. <a href="/interlinear/zechariah/12-11.htm">Zechariah 12:11</a>); so that in the Apocalypse it would signify the place where the kings opposing Christ were to be destroyed with a slaughter like that which the Canaanites or the Israelites had experienced of old. But since those two overthrows are said to have taken place <span class="greek2">ἐπί</span> <span class="greek2">ὕδατι</span> <span class="greek2">Μαγεδων</span> (Judges, the passage cited) and <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">πεδίῳ</span> <span class="greek2">Μαγεδων</span> (2 Chronicles, the passage cited), it is not easy to perceive what can be the meaning of <span class="accented">the mountain</span> of Megiddo, which could be none other than <span class="accented">Carmel</span>. Hence, for one, I think the conjecture of L. Capellus (i. e. Louis Cappel (akin to that of Drusius, see the commentaries)) to be far more easy and probable, viz. that <span class="greek2">Ἁρμαγεδών</span> is for <span class="greek2">ἁρμαμεγεδων</span>, compounded of <span class="hebrew">חרמא</span> destruction, and <span class="hebrew">מגדון</span>.
