The Beast of Revelation (12 of 25) The Battle of Armageddon?

Question:- What about the Battle of Armageddon? Is it past or future?

Given the time-frame of Revelation ("soon"/ "near") and the focus on Israel's judgment in AD 70, the Battle of Armageddon (16:16) is an OT image applied to AD 70. This battle results in the collapse of "the great city" (16:19), which is earlier called "the place where their Lord was crucified" (11:8), i.e., Jerusalem.

What is amazing is the great degree to which all the specific elements of the prophecy through Rev 20 were fulfilled in the first century.

Babylon goes back to the tower of babel.. The Bible says "let us build a city.." and they built Babylon..

Jesus was crucified in sodom and egypt.. and today he is crucified in all of Islam..

Just as there was only one, Yeshua, who fit the prophecies of Messiah there is only one who will fit the prophecies of the AC. The idea that Rome is The Beast , or Nero, is wrong. Scripture clearly states that the AC is from Greater Assyria ...Isaiah 10:5-15, 13:1-22, 14:24-27, 30:27-33 & 31:4-9 The Assyrian, The King of Assyria, The King of Babylon (ancient Assyria & ancient Babylon) For an in depth study of the AC's attributes visit profoundprophecyDOTcom/theAnti­christDOThtml

Nero did not:

>war against and attempt to overcome the RETURNING Lamb & God and his faithful (Rev 17:14)

>fail said war or any war against Jesus and in turn was overcome by the King of Kings and his faithful (Rev 17:14)

>destroy the whore, that great city that ruled over all the kings of the earth (Rev 17:16-18)

The true AntiX of Revelation has to fulfill all the above and more.

These are not metaphors, "Doctor."

Nero did not:

>have the entire world worship him because of said miracle (Rev 13:15) (Did China, India, Britain, Africa worship Nero?)

>execute/behead all those on the face of the planet who did not take the 666 mark (Rev 13:15, 20:4)

>sit in the Temple of God, blaspheming God & heaven (Rev 13:6 // Matt 24:15, Mark 13:14)

>rule WITH 10 kings for 1 hours (a short space) (Rev 17:12)

[manchildministries]

Nero did not:

>make a 7 year covenant with Israel and break it mid-week (Dan 9:27)

>suffer a fatal head wound by a sword (Rev 13: 3,12,14) He killed himself

>recover from said wound (Rev 13:3,12,14)

>never had power over ALL nations (Rev 13:7)

>make an image required to buy or sale WORLD WIDE (Rev 13:16-17)

>give life to said image (Rev 13:15)

>place or imprint that image (666) on the right hand or forehead of anyone (Rev 13:16)

>have a false prophet who called fire down from heaven (Rev 13:13)
