16:16 to be exact. Although, I am *not* a believer:
"And he gathered them together into a place called in
the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. "
I wonder why John of Patmos used the phrase "in the
Hebrew tongue"? <eg>
He was writing in to a greek and latin audience who would pass the measage on
to the jewish churches.
One tank commander said the valley of megidoo is the beast place he's seen for a major tank battle. A wide valley with flanking hills makes for a deadly killing zone and there's only one way through for either side. Straight through the gauntlett.
A major intersection and the site of many a battle! But,
I believe the one you allude to is described in Zechariah
14:12
"Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon
their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their
holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their
mouth."
