(I-2) Significance of the Name Armageddon The prophets speak for themselves this summary is provided only to guide your study of the prophetic sources, not to become the subject of your study itself. The information in the scriptures was given by the prophets. Let us now examine what the prophetic record reveals, leaving out all unsubstantiated speculation and discussion. All of them speak of it and when that time comes, the Lord is going to come out of His hiding place.” ( The Signs of the Times, p. 170.) We find Joel, Zephaniah, Zechariah, all proclaiming that in this last day, the day when the sun shall be darkened and the moon turned to blood and the stars fall from heaven, that the nations of the earth would gather against Jerusalem. Here you will find Isaiah saying the Lord will pour out war upon all the world Jeremiah saying the same thing and speaking of these terrible things Daniel saying so Ezekiel saying so. Elder Joseph Fielding Smith, after quoting from several of these prophets, said: “Now I have read these passages of Scripture from these various prophets. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah, John, Joseph Smith, and others have all talked about the battle and the events associated with it. It is not surprising, considering its great importance in the winding-up scenes of the earth’s telestial existence, to find that the prophets, ancient and modern, have spoken at great lengths and in much detail about this final war that will usher in the Millennium. How much is known of this great event in the world’s history? How much of what is heard can be believed? Have the prophets really spoken that much about it? What about modern prophets? Have they too spoken of it? Where does it get its name? It has created a host of speculations and much embellishment that is not scriptural. The very name conjures up pictures of vast armies, horrible suffering, and widespread devastation.

Armageddon! The name has inspired books, movies, and an almost endless amount of commentary.
