Armageddon: Where the Kings of the Earth Meet the King of Kings (Foundations & Faith)

The Bible ends with the story of a cosmic battle between God and all the spiritual and human forces opposed to Him in a valley called "Armageddon." There, the "King of kings and Lord of lords" defeats all His enemies once and for all, and He does it without any human "help" at all! The defeat is so decisive that the reader doesn't even see the battle take place! That's the end, but not the beginning of the story. Armageddon is another name for the Jezreel Valley, the scene of many divine victories in the Old Testament. In the Valley of Jezreel, divine sovereignty has repeatedly triumphed through impossible circumstances, inadequate human resources, and overwhelming opposition. Deborah and Barak, Gideon, Saul, Elijah, Ahab, Jehu, and Josiah are among those who faced conflicts in the Jezreel Valley and learned the truth of Psalm 20:7-8 (NET): Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we depend on the LORD our God. They will fall down, but we will stand firm. This book traces the message of the Jezreel Valley – the valley called Armageddon in Revelation 16:16 –that the victory is always the Lord’s! When the kings of the earth meet the King of kings, they don’t stand a chance!
