The
Tribulation lasts seven years and there are three major wars. World War III is the 6th Trumpet between
China, the United States and India (
Revelation 9:14-16). World War IV is Gog and Magog when
Russia and radical Islam (Iran, Turkey, Libya) attack Israel (
Ezekiel 38:2-3, 4-5). World War V is Armageddon (
Revelation 16:16).
He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon (
Revelation 16:16).
After Antichrist and the Russia-Islamic coalition fight, they unite against Israel. Earlier when Antichrist sat in the temple, the Jews reject Antichrist as leader (
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). God pours out His
bowl judgments. The 6th bowl dries up the Euphrates River. Then three demons from Satan, the Beast/Antichrist and False Prophet compel leaders to send armies to Armageddon. See
Unholy Trinity. About sixty miles north of Jerusalem is Mount Megiddo. Throughout history, there were over forty battles there. The armies gather in the Jezreel Valley before attacking Jerusalem. All nations are represented by a coalition that fights Israel.
The sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon… For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty (
Revelation 16:12-13, 14).
