The biblical concept of Armageddon

Abstract

"With regard to the study of unfulfilled prophecy in Scripture, most Christians seem to realize the need for and the indispensability of a responsible hermeneutic as the guideline for applying prophecy to our modern time. They agree that such a hermeneutic must be derived from Holy Scripture itself and should not be construed from any dogmatic philosophical or religious a priori. Our hermeneutic seems to be nowhere of such crucial importance as in the application of the final holy war in John's Apocalypse, popularly rendered as "Armageddon" (Rev 16:16)"
