We survived Armeggedon! Actually, we visited Megiddo in the Jezreel Valley. Much like the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, the Jezreel Valley is fertile and prosperous with lots of green farm land. Tel Megiddo is an excavated site that dates as far back as 7000 B.C. It was the site of the Canaanite Temple in 3000 B.C. and where Joshua defeated the Canaanite kings there as described in Joshua 3:12. Throughout history it was also inhabited by the Syrians, Egyptians and Persians. This is the place that is identified in Revelation 16:16 where the final battle of Armageddon will take place. John's inspiration for this vision of Armageddon comes from the prophet Zechariah who describes such a battle in Zechariah 12:11.
