The article discusses which forces will participate in Armageddon and what the consequences will be. There have also been wars and political changes in various periods of history that have been associated with Armageddon. The site of the battle of Armageddon is thought to be Megiddo. There is various information about this region in history. The city of Megiddo has been the centre of many wars. The Battle of Armageddon has been identified with many events in history. This is mainly due to the interpretation of biblical information by researchers. The Bible does not clearly state when the battle of Armageddon will take place. Although there are different estimates in the Christian world, none of them gives a precise date.
