As excavators brought Megiddo back to life, they saw a stronghold. This place was the intersection between Assyria and Egypt – the main trade route between the east and the west. In Revelation 16:16, Har Megiddo is even referred to as Armageddon.

When we think of Armageddon, most of us think of Hollywood with movies like Terminator, or...yes...certainly Armageddon...and too many more to list. Guns, nuclear warfare, destruction, stars falling from the sky – violence beyond belief.

While terrible violence will certainly be an aspect of The End, The Lord is wanting to redirect His children to strategy. The kind of strategy led not by carnal tools or of “...might or power, but by My Spirit” (Zechariah 4:6).

What does that mean for you and me?

We can arm up, store food and water, become almost “prepper” in mindset. None of these tactics being necessarily wrong, but when they become our focus, it most likely means we’re operating in fear.
