..... and they worshiped the dragon because it gave the authority to the wild beast,

and they worshiped the wild beast with the words, "who is like the wild beast and

who can do battle with it? And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies

was given it....   REVELATION 13:4-5

         REVELATION  16:16

"They are in fact expressions inspired by demons and perform signs, and they go forth to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the almighty ...... Armegeddon!

In his dragon's lair    .......all His flags are flying, His kings are all arriving, with knights in shining armor at their sides,  and they're looking so prestigious all the nations pledge  allegiance, with sweet promises of peace he's well disguised. But in the name of love for neighbor, he has them forging nuclear sabers,.... beware of His nobles they have their price, their road to peace is paved with TOMBSTONES ....... of your children sacrificed !  And the ghosts of their delusions howl in the winds, of the rising tides of destiny.   Rv.16:14           "FLIGHT OF OUR MINDS"    2007

 Armageddon appears only at Rv.16:16. It means Mt. of Megeddio, in the Jezreel Valley in Israel, where the first recorded battle and many decisive battles were fought, thus it's a fitting name for the FINAL battle.  Being described as a "place",  it's a common misconception it will be the "location" of the war. However, the kings will not be bringing their aircraft carriers, submarines, tanks, etc. there and assemble millions of troops, in a standing room only arena, wait for the bell to ring and blow themselves up. The term "place" symbolizes their "attitude" or "standing", regarding their relative authority under God's, specifically meaning,.... RULE or RUIN. Jehovah God only tolerates their rival rulership temporarily to prevent TOTAL chaos in a world rejecting his Ten Commandments.  Ro.9:22 

 The 10 commandments provided all the law needed to expand civilization out from the Garden of Eden and make a planetary paradise, with REAL life, liberty, and justice for all. All the raw materials were designed into the earth and the eco system.

The first  commandment is , you must have no other Gods before me. make no graven images of anything (flags), do not bow down to them.. Ex.20:3. Disregarding this divine safeguard results in the horrors of political religion, "man dominating man to his injury" Ec.8:9. Their crusades and holy wars spread death and destruction thru out the earth, instead of prosperity. Century after century, a world of traitors suffers the same violent consequence for violating the divine law of universal love.

     "The kings of the earth take their stand and the high officials themselves have massed together as one" (foreseeing the United Nations) against Jehovah and his anointed one (Jesus) saying "let us tear their bands apart" Ps.2:2-3. But... isn't the UN blessed by God, they have a sculpture claiming they've "beat swords into plow shears" ? Isa.2:4. The UN does wonderfull good samaritan works, and humanitarian relief and rescue efforts after disasters. They're the pinnicle of the world's effort to unite and insure peace and security. They've even been called "the political expression of the kingdom of God on earth".  In spite of thier brave and noble hopes however, the ironic truth is, their own members themselves are the very ones beating plow shears into nuclear sabers (30,000 of them). These treasonous acts against the divine law of universal love, threaten to exterminate all life God created, as Jesus foretold; "nation will rise against nation" spreading famine and plague, then there will be great tribulation... unless those days were cut short NO flesh would be saved, but on account of the chosen ones, those days WILL be cut short.  Mt.24:7-22. How?

     The kings CANNOT disarm; all hope was lost when the atomic bomb blasted Hiroshima (Rv.13:13),  unleashing a hurricane of paranoia, the perfect storm of nuclear proliferation, August 6, 1945, the day this world crossed the point of no return. Neither will they surrender their authority to God so the fate of mankind is held captive by fear, greed, and pride, until the first shaky finger opens a nuclear brief case and unleashes genocide upon us all.

     For God and mankind's sake, why can't they break the CURSE ?

Because... "They are in fact, expressions inspired by demons and perform sings, and they go forth to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty.. Armageddon." Rv.16:14                                                                                                              

     Jehovah God will not interfere with the abuse of free will, but neither will he tolerate the destruction of his beautiful eco system, or his "chosen ones" who are learning true righteousness and loyalty in all nations, beating swords into plowshares. Isa.2:4  Armageddon is forced upon him and he will not tolerate tantrums turning into global genocide. The war begins "And I saw the heavens opened, and look a white horse. And the one seated upon it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness." .. And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war with the one seated on the horse and his army. And the wild beast was caught, and along with it the false prophet that performed in front of it the signs with which he mislead those who receive the mark of the wild beast and those who render worship to it's image. While still alive they both were hurled into the fiery lake that burns with sulphur. But the rest were killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the horse. Revelation 19:11-21.  Is Armageddon timed to PREVENT w.w.111? Maybe, but if it's precisely timed to INTERCEPT and destroy a massive nuclear launch, that could be the most CONCLUSIVE way to resolve the issue of universal sovereignty forever. Remember, divine judgment is not damnation, the demonic judgment IS, Armageddon is the divine opportunity for salvation from them, "unless those days were cut short, ALL mankind would perish". Mt.24:22 

   With Satan in the abyss and all opposition and weapons of mass destruction gone, Jehovah's chosen ones, his international spiritual nation, are "saved" from Satan's death wish by slow, agonizing radio active poisoning. This is when the" meek who inherit the earth" celebrate the defeat of Satan's reign of terror. surviving the great tribulation! Rv.7:9-14.

     Meanwhile Jehovah God is proclaiming his "kingdom to come" in all the inhabited earth, and his invitation to ALL mankind to learn" true righteousness and loyalty" Mt.24:14.

The 7 headed wild beast of Revelation (the conglomerate of world governments), claws into human society and carniverously devours our young with it's wars. "And all who dwell on the earth will worship it: (meaning bowing down and saluting it's graven image flags), the name of not one of them stands written in the scroll of life..." Rv.13:8

Divine justice WILL avenge a world of traitors, offering up their sons on the alters of war for the entertaining of demonic god's of human sacrafice. Jehovah God is not one to be mocked. Ga.6:7  Meanwhile, everyone is invited to learn his meaning of "beating swords into plowshaers", and "learning war nomore "Isa.2:4.

For evil doers themselves will be cut off, but those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will posess the earth. And just a little while longer, and the wicked ones will be no more; and you will certainly give attention to his place and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will posess thr earth, and they indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.  Psalms 37:9-11
