| Riepilogo: | Although the cryptic word Armageddon appears only in Revelation 16:16, one wonders how it has claimed as much attention as it has in both religious writings and in the secular media.

This article will explore the relationship between Armageddon and Megiddo, the historical understanding of the word in the earliest Latin and Greek commentaries, and John's meaning of the word in Revelation. |
