But my reply didnt support the theory of everybody being gathered to one literal place on Earth, and how impractical would that be? Rather, due to immigration, all the nations of the world are being gathered together in all parts of the Earth, ready for, as you say, the Spiritual battle, though it will be a phsical one as well, many scriptures discribe the horrible things that will occur to people who fight against the One on the Whire Horse!

Pete Charlton Of course, it would help if there even WERE such a place as Armageddon. Har-Meggido, "Mountain of Meggido," doesn't exist. John deliberately chose the flattest plain in the region, the plain of Meggido, and ascribed a tall mountain to it, to indicate the battle was not a physical one but a spiritual one. The plains of Meggido (where Josiah died when he tried to play world-policeman with Neco, Pharaoh of Egypt) never were and never will be a mountain, and that is by biblical design. Martin P.S. Some "scholars" so-called, aware of this insuperable internal collision between the term and the actual reality, have vainly tried to associate distant hills with John's symbol, or claim the geography will change (some slap-dash orogeny, as it were). All such specious evasions are vacuous and vapid on the surface.
