The Bible code’s (聖經密碼)statement that the final battle(最後之戰), Armageddon, could begin in the Middle East with an act of nuclear terrorism(恐怖分子) seemed all too real.
The word ‘Armageddon’ comes from the last Book of The New Testament(新約全書), in a verse that seems fanciful: ‘The spirits of devils(魔鬼), working miracles, go forth unto the kings of the Earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the Battle of that Great Day of God Almighty.”
And he gathered(集合) them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.’
But Armageddon is a real place. It is the Greek name for an ancient city in Israel, Megiddo (not far from Endor - JAH). In Hebrew, ‘Mount Megiddo’ is ‘Harmegiddo’.
I stopped to see the ruins of this ancient fortified city when, late one night, I was en route for Jerusalem. It seemed inconceivable that this remote place would ever really be the site of a major battle.
But near Megiddo, hidden from tourists, is one of Israel’s(以色列) most important Air-Force bases, Ramat David. It is in the North, facing Israel’s implacable foe, Syria(敘利亞). It would be on the front line of any real war in the modern Middle East(中東).
‘Armageddon’ is encoded in The Bible with the name of Syria’s leader, Hafez Asad. In fact, the name of the actual site of the long-prophesied Final Battle appears with his name in a single skip sequence: ‘Armageddon, Asad holocaust.’ ‘Syria’ is encoded with ‘world war’. It is the country that stands out, because it is not expected*. ‘Russia’(俄羅斯) and ‘China’(中國) and ‘USA’(美國) also appear with ‘world war’(世界大戰) but they are the three superpowers most likely to be involved. Syria is the surprise.
*By Michael Drosnin perhaps. However, I wrote to the Chief of the Joint Staff General Colin Powell at the beginning of the Gulf War in 1990 to warn him about Syria – JAH
But if Armageddon is real, it may begin the way it is prophesied in the plain text of The Bible (in Revelation 9 – JAH).
Revelation 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels [Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran] which are bound in the great River Euphrates.
9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for The Hour, and The Day, (the month, and the year) for to slay the third part of men.
9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen [were] two hundred thousand thousand (200,000,000): and I HEARD the number of them.
The last Book of the New Testament predicts a final war of unprecedented fury: ‘Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations in the four quarters of the Earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle.’
No one knows where the ancient ‘Gog and Magog’ were located (please speak for yourself Mr. Drosnin. They are Mesech [Moscow] and Tubal [Tobolsk] – JAH). But the original prophecy of the final Battle, told in Ezekiel, is that Israel will be invaded from the North. The only modern enemy north of Israel is Syria (and then Russia – Revelation*).
* Rev. 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great River Euphrates; and the “water” thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the East (eastern block) might be prepared.
‘Syria’ is encoded in Ezekiel, starting in the verse that predicts the invasion. Syria’s allies are named: ‘Persia’ and ‘Phut’ – countries that are now called Iran and Libya.
The plain text of Ezekiel predicts a terrible battle between Israel and the surrounding Arab nations. According to The Bible code, that is how World War 3 might begin – with an atomic attack on Jerusalem, followed by an invasion of Israel...”
