What Is the Battle of Armageddon? Revelation 16 Explained

Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree reach the sixth bowl in their walk through Revelation, and with it the only verse in the Bible that names Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). Michael doesn’t think it describes a war between nations at Megiddo. Josh pushes back with Ezekiel 38–39, Joel 3, and Zechariah 14, and the two of them dive deep in back-and-forth dialogue. IN THIS EPISODE: - Why John calls it a mountain when Megiddo is flat - What the Old Testament prophets saw, and what they couldn’t have known yet - How “make war” gets used everywhere else in Revelation - Who Jesus says will be safe when it comes (Revelation 16:15) Join us for an interesting conversation exploring the Scriptures on the end times and Armageddon. 0:00 – Introduction 1:13 – Armageddon: One Last Battle 4:14 – Literal Battle Interpretation 10:37 – Safe in Armageddon 13:18 – Make War as Persecution 20:53 – Mount Megiddo Symbolism 22:34 – Progressive Revelation & Israel 30:05 – Logical Problems with Literalism 35:27 – Global State-Sponsored Persecution 43:01 – Revelation 14 Eternal Gospel 48:34 – Israel Alliance and Idolatry 54:41 – Revelation 19 Final Victory BOOK: 📖The World Made Right by Michael Rowntree: https://www.michaelrowntree.com/the-world-made-right/ Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
