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!

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.

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.
