Armageddon is the old name for what is now called Megiddo. It's a Kibbutz in northern Israel.
But hey, if the goal is to bring war to the doorstep of the occupiers,there are probably worse goals to have.
- polotics 7mo agoI think you are mistaken: that lush green slow-sloped hill and beautiful valley was there before anyone built a Kibbutz on it, and was already called that in the bronze age when a Canaanite town stood there. In my memory of it from 20 years ago, it was surprisingly nice and green, a bit like a Windows background. As far as I understand, as it's got even neolithic settlement strata, this is as good as any other place name for signifying "the center of the world" as any Koine-writer was going to get.
