Order of events for the “campaign of Armageddon”

1. The Jewish remnant will call upon the Messiah for salvation and deliverance (Hosea 6:1-3; Joel 2:28-29; Zech. 12:1-13:1; Matt. 23:37-39; Rom. 10:13-14; 11:25-27)

2. Jesus returns to the same spot from which He originally ascended (Zech. 14:3-4; Acts 1:9-12)

3. The conquering Christ, along with the armies of heaven (Rev. 19:4), they travel to the valley of Megiddo (Armageddon), where He slays the armies of the nations using only the sword (word) of His mouth (Rev. 19:15-16, 21)

QUOTES:

“I pause here, overcome by the majesty of the subject, and instead of attempting to describe that brow, and those glittering crowns, I shall act the part of a seraph, and bow before that well-crowned head, and cry, "Holy, holy, holy, art thou Lord God of hosts! The keys of heaven, and death, and hell, hang at thy girdle; thou art supreme, and unto thee be glory for ever and ever.” –Charles Spurgeon

William R. Newell points to four different suppers described in the Bible:
· The supper of salvation, alluded to in Jesus’ parable
(Luke 14:16-24)
· The Lord’s Supper, a commemoration of Jesus’ sacrifice
· The marriage supper of the Lamb
· The supper of the great God

“If you reject the first supper, the second supper will mean nothing to you. Then you will not be present at the third supper, but will be present at the fourth supper. Everybody gets to attend at least one of these suppers, but some will eat and others are eaten at the suppers.” –David Guzik

“one of the most bizarre things that is prophesied in the Scripture: is that the kings of the world and their armies are knowingly going to make war against God.” –Chuck Missler

“We may wonder how rational men could be carried with one impulse into an attempt so daring and so absurd; but when people put the truth from them, and submit themselves to the Devil’s lead, what is there of delusion and absurdity into which they are not liable to be carried?” –Joseph Seiss

“This is just the logical extension of man’s constant war against God since the fall. It is no more unbelievable than the idea that God came to earth and men murdered Him.” –David Guzik

“It is not 100% clear whether Christ will first arrive at Bozrah to deliver the Jewish remnant or whether His initial point of contact will be the Mount of Olives. But either way, these prophecies tell us that geography is a specific aspect of Jesus’ return, one more indication that all these biblical predictions will be fulfilled literally and exactly as Scripture proclaims.” –Jeff Kinley & Todd Hampson

“The argument is that Jerusalem is what the nations are after, but what Satan is trying to do is wipe out the remnant before they issue their petition to God.” –Chuck Missler
