"And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof 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, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.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.And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon."Past fulfillment
As an historical fact, a gathering of the Roman army had occurred at Megiddo as a staging ground for one of the Roman army's assaults on Jerusalem in AD 67.Another interpretation is that the sudden death of Josiah, a religious reformer in his early 30s who showed great promise of renewing a theocratic Jewish state, resulted in myths of his triumphant return.His death precipitated the decline of a strongly monotheistic faction in Judea in the years prior to the Babylonian captivity.The idea that a Davidic king would return someday to fight and win at Megiddo is an example of the myth of eternal return.The Hebrew Bible, The Book of Kings and the Books of Chronicles
Megiddo is mentioned various times in the Hebrew Bible.Other books such as The Book of Kings and Chronicles describe a battle that took place there in 609 B.Some critics may argue that the word "Armageddon" is an early example of a mondegreen.Dispensational (Christian) Teachings
The Dispensational viewpoint interprets biblical prophecy literally and expects that the fulfillment of prophecy will also be literal, depending upon the context of scripture.In his discussion of Armageddon, Doctor J.Dwight Pentecost has devoted an entire chapter to the subject titled "The Campaign of Armageddon", in which he discusses Armageddon as a Campaign and not a specific battle, which will be fought in the Middle East."It has been held commonly that the battle of Armageddon is an isolated event transpiring just prior to the second advent of Christ to the earth.English Lexicon of the New Testament, p.Vincent, Word Studies in the New Testament, II, 541).The use of the word polemos (campaign) in Revelation 16:14 would signify that the events that culminate in the gathering at Armageddon at the second advent are viewed by God as one connected campaign."The ten kingdom federation (see also, European Community) of nations under the Beast

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Armageddon is the battle when Satan unites the kings of the Earth against God's appointed King, Christ.It is called in the Bible, "the battle of that great day of God Almighty."Unlike many Christian groups, Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that an individual 'Antichrist' will be involved.Revelation says that "expressions inspired by demons" cause the kings of the entire inhabited Earth to gather together for the war of the great day of God the Almighty (Revelation 16:14).But then, the "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" because of his righteousness will defeat them for the glory of the Almighty God.The Witnesses believe it is evident from this text that this war is not one of nations fighting against one another with nuclear, biological, or other weapons of mass destruction, since it says that the kings of the Earth "gather together" against Christ.Jehovah's Witnesses believe the collective action to persecute God's chosen people on earth is what finally triggers this war.Ezekiel 38 prophesies that Gog, king of Magog will collect an army of many nations to attack God's people, believing them to be vulnerable and unprotected.God responds by causing them to fall one against another's swords; he strikes them with pestilence, floods, hailstones, fire and sulphur.The Jehovah's Witnesses believe a prelude to Armageddon will be the attack on all religions by the United Nations very soon under their own laws and statutes left to be put into effect.According to the Rastafari, it is Haile Selassie who appears in the Book of Revelation.Armageddon (or rather "Amagideon") is a slightly different theological concept, meaning not so much a specific battle, but rather the general state the entire world is in now, and has been getting progressively deeper in since 1930, and especially since 1974.Satan and his followers will attempt to overthrow Christ's followers, but he will be overcome by the power of Christ.Christ and His redeemed saints will be declared victorious.Revelation 16:16 (King James Version).Zechariah 12:2 (King James Version).Zechariah 12:4 (King James Version).Daniel 11:45 (King James Version).Matthew 25:41 (King James Version).Matthew 18:8 (King James Version).Jeremiah 25:33) Thus, Armageddon is not a human war confined to a particular location in the Middle East.Its Grand Climax at Hand!These hold the center stage on earth as the one people to have refused to worship the wild beast and its image.Their spiritual strength and prosperity enrage Gog.So Gog and his numerous military force, including the wild beast out of the sea with its ten horns, swarm in for the kill."Walk by Faith, Not by Sight!Yes, the entire world empire of false religion stands on the brink of destruction.Religious bodies have financed political revolution.In pursuing the goal of peace and security, elements within the United Nations would like to see the elimination of any religious influence that stands in their way.Zondervan Publishing House (Ministry Resources Library).Kregel Publications, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49501 Library of Congress Catalog Card No.Your guide to understanding the end times."The Man The False Prophet and The Harlot", subtitled "The Name of the Antichrist Finally Revealed" by Dr.Registered Offices, 80 Strand, London WC2R 0R1, England."Daniel's Prophecy of the 70 Weeks" by Alva J.NOTE: The author has a new, updated book titled "When will Jesus Come?"."Whatever Happened to Heaven?""Armageddon, Oil and the Middle East Crisis" Revised, by John F."The Late Great Planet Earth" by Hal Lindsey with C.The Aorist Corporation Bantam Books."The Revelation Record" by Henry M.Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49506.The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago."Israel In Prophecy" by John F."The Church in Prophecy" by John F.Grand Rapids Michigan 49506.NOTE: See Millennium on Wikipedia)."The Nations in Prophecy" by John F."The Return of the Lord" by John F.Alpha Omega Publishing Company.NOTE: this book contains information on Gematria, a mathematical science).Gilles Quispel, Collins St.James Place, Comdon, 1979.West 34th Street, NY, NY 10001.Look up Armageddon in

Jonathan Hensleigh
J.It was directed by Michael Bay, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and released on Disney's Touchstone Pictures label.The film's tagline is "For Love.It's just a question of when."Several landmarks and skyscrapers in New York City (notably, the Chrysler Building, Grand Central Terminal and the World Trade Center) are destroyed by a similar bombardment.The team also determines that this asteroid will strike the Earth in 18 days, causing the total destruction of all life.They work frantically to develop a plan to stop the asteroid, though most scenarios are dismissed as impractical because of the size and speed of the object.The plan is to approach the asteroid from behind, land on it, drill to 800 feet, plant a nuclear bomb in the shaft and detonate it remotely after evacuation.Harry recruits a motley crew made up of his best workers and they prepare for the mission through rigorous space travel drills, modification of their equipment and pointed psychological tests to determine whether they are able to work in space.At the end of the training missions, a meteor penetrates the Earth's atmosphere and collides with Shanghai, annihilating the city and causing the deaths of some 50,000 people.The two shuttles take off into space and head for the Russian space station Mir orbiting Earth to stock up on the fuel required for the mission.Lev sends AJ down a shaft to monitor the pressure of the fuel exchange.The crew must abandon the station, Lev and AJ barely escaping as it explodes.The primary boosters of the Independence are destroyed, however, by a tail debris and it hurtles out of control as another piece of rock smashes the front windows, sending pilots Davis and Tucker flying into space.This mishap kills crew members Oscar, Freddie, and Lt.AJ, Lev and Bear survive.After determining that they have overshot their landing site and are sitting on an area comprised of iron ferrite, making it extremely difficult to drill, the crew begins their project anyway, but quickly figures out that the drilling will be nearly impossible, delaying the mission.Colonel Sharp and Nuclear Technician Gruber are able to defuse the bomb mere seconds before it detonates.Rockhound, has a negative psychological reaction to working in space, aptly named space dementia.He causes a distraction while playing with a Gatling gun, nearly shooting a few crew members.An asteroid fragment penetrates the atmosphere and strikes Paris, sending a shock wave that destroys much of the city.As he and Harry return to the drilling site, Harry pulls out A.His last thoughts are of Grace as he pushes the button just before zero barrier is breached.The camera then zooms in on the photographs of the deceased crew members in the church.Cast
Bruce Willis: Harry Stamper: Father of Grace and the world's best oil driller.He nobly sacrifices himself to destroy the asteroid and save Earth.Billy Bob Thornton: Dan Truman: NASA Administrator.Harry's patch after they land back on earth.Liv Tyler: Grace Stamper: Harry's daughter and A.Will Patton: Charles 'Chick' Chapple: Harry's friend and team member who was banned from seeing his wife and child due to a gambling addiction.Therefore he has some sort of death wish and does a lot of things that nearly get everyone killed.Sharp also had to make sure plan B would work (letting the bomb explode on the surface) and used a gun to threaten Chick and Harry.Owen Wilson: Oscar Choi: A spacey but brilliant geologist on the drill team.He dies when the Independence crashlands, his helmet and face punctured by flying glass.Peter Stormare: Lev Andropov: A somewhat looney, although courageous Russian cosmonaut.Ken Hudson Campbell: Max Lennert: A tough drill member who drives the first Armadillo.He dies when the Armadillo is blown off the asteroid by a gas pocket explosion.Ronald Quincy: A research scientist who comes up with the mission's plan.He's one of the smartest people in the world.Grayson McCouch: Gruber: Nuclear munitions expert of the Freedom.He is killed during the second earthquake.He is killed during the crash.Davis: Pilot of the Independence shuttle.He is pulled out of the shuttle when an asteroid hits the windows.He is killed during the crash.Ebert gave it a "thumbs up."However, it was also nominated in seven categories for the 1998 Golden Raspberry Awards for bad films; only one was awarded: Bruce Willis received the Worst Actor award for Armageddon, in addition to his appearances in Mercury Rising and The Siege.Despite the general critical disdain, a DVD edition of Armageddon was released by The Criterion Collection, a specialist film distributor of primarily arthouse films that markets what it considers to be "important classic and contemporary films" and "cinema at its finest".She sees it as a celebration of working men: "This film makes these ordinary men noble, lifting their efforts up into an epic event."Further, she states that in the first few moments of the film all the main characters are well established, saying, "If that isn't screenwriting, I don't know what is".Despite the poor reviews and criticism, Armageddon was nominated for four Academy Awards (Best Sound, Best Special Effects, Best Effects Editing, and Best Original Song).Scientific inaccuracies
The physics and scientific approach of Armageddon was criticized for its poor adherence to the laws of physics.Prospective managers are asked to find as many inaccuracies in the movie as they can.Nevertheless the movie adheres to standard Hollywood conventions when it comes to science, such as having noise in space (there is no sound in the vacuum of outer space).Among the myriad choices to divert the asteroid from its course towards Earth, the movie implies that using a nuclear device would be the best solution, while in reality using a nuclear device would prove risky.Whatever the real size of the asteroid may be, it would not have a gravity similar to that of the moon as is implied in the movie.Also, the surface of the asteroid is extremely craggy and sharp, but real asteroids as large as this one would be worn smooth and look more like a potato.Indeed, most asteroids larger than 300 km in diameter are spherical, and an asteroid the size of Texas (1244x1270 km) would certainly be so, lacking the vast craggy canyons as depicted in the film.For an asteroid 1200 km in diameter (assuming the asteroid was round), drilling 800 feet would not be deep enough in order to plant the nuclear bomb in the "core".The explosion that shears the asteroid in two slices would not prevent both parts from striking the Earth if they were as close to the Earth as depicted in the movie; neither fragment would have enough momentum to clear the attraction of the Earth.Kennedy Space Center launch pads 39A and 39B appear to be only a few hundred feet apart, but in reality they are more than 1.In either case, two shuttles could never be launched simultaneously; the vibration involved would destroy both vehicles.In a related issue, the space shuttles used in the movies (although specified to have been modified) are designed for orbital space travel, not for landing on objects in outer space.The shuttles are also shown performing banked turns after it escapes the Earth's atmosphere, this method would never be used in space as there is no air resistance to make it actually possible hence no spacecraft, modified or otherwise could ever move in this manner.During the slingshot around the moon, the characters are subjected to eleven times Earth gravity for an extended period of time.Additionally, the Space Shuttle is not designed to survive anything like eleven times the force of gravity.Oxygen is an oxidizer, which a fuel requires in the vacuum of space.This also raises the question of why the Mir would have so much extra fuel on board in the first place.The Russian space station's portrayal is unlikely in itself: initiating a rotation to accommodate artificial gravity would in reality threaten the structural integrity of such a pronged modular craft, and spinning the station before docking would be impractical, as it renders a normally tricky docking nearly impossible since the docking ports are on the external rotating pods.Furthermore, a rotating station would need its docking area along the axis of rotation, plus the docking vessel would have to match that rotation, and match its center of gravity along the docking point approaching along the station's axis of rotation.Obtaining special suits that use small thrusters to keep the astronauts on the ground would be a waste of fuel; their backpacks could not offer sufficient thrust for more than a few minutes.At the opening scene, an asteroid flies overhead towards earth accompanied by a loud roar, when in fact, there would be no sound in space, for in order for sound to occur there must be some medium for the sound waves to vibrate, such as air.However as there was a time limit on the mission it might simply have been more efficient to put the drills on the ready made vehicles than to design and build a platform, though using thrusters rather than wheels to move the vehicles would be more sensible on broken ground.There is no mention of what kind of propulsion the large digging vehicle uses.Since there obviously is no oxygen on the asteroid the vehicle would either need a new type of engine to be invented, or carry with it the oxygen as well as the fuel for whatever type of conventional engine it uses.Additionally, the detonation of the nuclear bomb is visible from many different places on Earth simultaneously: from the United States to India.However, only a small portion of the planet would have been in a position to observe the explosion from the surface.The script's dialog also seems to negatively present valid and proven scientific theories.An odd example is where the character Rockhound, an apparent genius who obtained his Ph.The soundtrack features the song "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", written by Diane Warren and as performed by Aerosmith (fronted by Liv Tyler's father, Steven Tyler).There was also an instrumental score titled Armageddon: Original Motion Picture Score by Trevor Rabin."Armageddon XP from Intuitor.Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy: Review: Armageddon from BadAstronomy.The Astronomy of Armageddon
