The Battle of Armageddon
(Resources and Comments in Purple)
What we know from the scriptures:
Armageddon Checklist in the scriptures, only one is not fulfilled:
The House of Israel will be gathered and returned to their land. (Ezek 36:24) (1948)
Numbers 24:9 …..” Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.”
Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
Zechariah 14:2-3, 12
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, ….and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
Revelation 16:14-16,
Revelation 11:14
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
President Benson: The Lord's three appearances.
The temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4; Revelation 11:1).
Jewish Elders have now drawn up the plans and are collecting artifacts to conduct temple rites. The Dome of the Rock is in the way, but the Jews are counting on God to make a way for them to build it when the time comes.

We know what happens after Armageddon:
• Wicked are destroyed (Woe #3).
• Resurrection (afternoon of the first)
• Second Coming of Jesus Christ
• Millennium
At the end of the Millennium is the Morning of the Second Resurrection and then Final Judgment.

What we know from the scriptures:
- Armageddon is 3.5 years in duration. Rev 11:2-3
- It is a war between Israel and the World's Army led by Gog and the Anti-Christ. The world's army will number 200 million.
- Two prophets will tread under foot for 42 months (3.5 years) (1)
- It will be in the Valley of Megiddo. (1) Clue: New Jerusalem has already started in order for them to be sent to Israel!
- The Anti-Christ comes on the scene and goes against Israel (Armageddon) and the Saints and is in power 42 months, which is 3.5 years. (Rev 13.5) (2) (2) Matthew 24:9
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
Notice the parallel between what is prophesied for Israel is also prophesied for the LDS. - Israel needs to build a temple, we will build the New Jerusalem temple.
- Israel will be under siege (Armageddon), we will be under siege (foreign troops).
- Israel is told to flee to the mountains, we are told to flee to the mountains.
- Israel is persecuted and hated, we will be persecuted and hated.
Armageddon Checklist in the scriptures, only one is not fulfilled:
The House of Israel will be gathered and returned to their land. (Ezek 36:24) (1948)
- The land of Israel will be rebuilt by the covenant people (Ezek 36:10-12, 33-36) LDS are the covenant people...a temple needs to be there....not done yet.
- The land will become highly productive (Ezek 36:8, 29-30) 3rd largest economy there.
- There will be one nation in the land of Israel (Ezek 37:22) Every time the Palestinians reject a peace agreement, they fulfill this scripture.
- Jerusalem will be reestablished as the capital city of the Israelites (Zech 1:16-17, 2:12, 3Nephi 20:46) January 2018 President Trump moved the embassy there and declared it!
- The two prophets are killed. (Rev 11)
- The Lord rescues the Jews. Stands on Mt. of Olives and it splits open, killing the world's army. (Zech 14:1-5)
