THE Edmonton, Alberta, Journal reports in a special dispatch that the ruins of Megiddo, ancient Armageddon, are to be excavated. There will possibly be press reports shortly to the effect that another and a more important “Armageddon” will be investigated, but it will be a sick and sorry world that will investigate it! It is a very good idea for all people of good will to investigate a little now. A good deal of information about the forthcoming Armageddon has been excavated and is available by writing this magazine.

The world has got to realize that peace is not a matter of covenants nor treaties, but a matter of inward righteousness. . . . An Armageddon is nothing more than an exaggerated version of a back-fence squabble.

Publication title: Pastor C. T. Russell in his still up-to-date book, “The Battle of Armageddon,” written some thirty years ago, gives a very striking survey of the times in which we now live.

This barrier was named by the Hebrews Megiddo, or Battle of the Mountain, and by the Greeks Armageddon, meaning the same thing. When General Allenby took Palestine away from the Turks, he did it by seizing this ridge. A literal battle of Armageddon was fought there in the summer of 1918. The fortresses which have crowned the heights of Armageddon are at present the subject of a five-year archaeological expedition financed by John D. Rockefeller and supervised by Prof. C. S. Fisher, formerly of the University of Pennsylvania, as field director.

It is called “the battle of Armageddon”, and “the battle of that great day of God Almighty”. (Revelation 16:14)

Finally, in this time of the end, when Satan is permitted a latitude in power of deception vastly greater than hitherto, and bewildered humanity comes more unreservedly under his spell, traditional restraints and safeguards will be cast off, to the confusing of ethical values and the forfeiture of that sense of proportion in the interrelations of life which guarantees social cohesion. In summoning the gathering to Armageddon, no factor is more potent than this-the gradually dawning conviction that all existence implies a sheer mutual will-contest, in the face of which stupefying revelations, pity and mercy must be relegated to the discard as suicidal weakness.

(9) Armageddon, universal anarchy, would supervene.

The Protestant churches are string to confederate themselves, through the Methodists still hold aloof. Anglicanism poses as the source of authority at large. However, this “rolling together” is yet in a tentative stage. Capitalism has regained its prestige over the radical elements since the war. Zionism is meeting with predicted success. In fact, all the aforementioned “signs” are manifesting themselves in true prophetic order, leading up to the final Armageddon conflict.

The Toronto Star in reviewing a recent book “Twenty-Five Years 1892-1916” by Vinscount Grey of Falloden, as a contribution “to the already voluminous and ever growing literature of Armageddon”, quotes him as saying: Even now, with all the experience of war behind us, it is doubtful whether Europe is penetrated with a sense that war must be prevented in future, and that this must be common purpose of all nations-learn or perish is the rule for nations as for individuals.

QUESTION: Please explain Revelation 16:13-21, relative to the three unclean spirits which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to Armageddon.
ANSWER:In the Bible an unclean spirit represents a doctrine that is not in harmony with the Bible-error. The doctrines taught by the modern clergy, ·who are represented in the “false prophet”, and by big business and by the political element, will cause the people to be drawn into a great war. This war is just ahead and is known as Armageddon. In this final battle of Armageddon, the last great battle between the forces of truth and error, the Devil will seek to destroy all who have any sympathy with the truth, and the enemy will seek the abject oppression of the people, Christ Jesus, as earth’s new King, will rescue the people, completely wipe out Satan’s evil organization, and secure for the people a real government of life, liberty and happiness.

The symbolic earth as well as the symbolic heavens will be destroyed and the elements thereof will be dissolved in the approaching battle of Armageddon, that terrific final conflict between God’s organization and the Devil’s organization. The symbolic heavens and the symbolic earth together make up what the Bible calls “this present evil world”.

These facts no one can deny. The question is, therefore, What are you, who are listening in, going to do about it? The issue is now being put squarely before all by the Lord. The Bible shows that the battle of Armageddon in its severest phases is approaching; and that Satan is organizing his earthly forces more tightly than ever against God’s incoming kingdom and His Christ, and is seeking to draw all people, even the elect of God themselves, into his organization. There is no middle ground.
The Golden Age. November 17, 1926 p. 123
When Satan’s empire is eventually overthrown in the approaching battle of Armageddon, and, to use the language of the Psalm, Christ comes down with His loving blessings like rain upon the mown grass and as showers that water the earth, then the people will really appreciate the change in earth’s affairs which God’s power hath wrought.

Surely in a world incorrigibly irreverent concerning sex, to suggest cynicism in this relation concerning immaturity is to add more fuel to the smouldering fires of Armageddon!

But Jehovah with His forces of truth on one side, and Satan and his forces of evil on the other, are marching to the final great struggle, known in the Scriptures as Armageddon.
