What Is the Battle of Armageddon? Revelation 16 Explained | Michael Rowntree

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.
