Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: According to the Book of Revelation in the New Testament of the Bible, Armageddon (/ˌɑːrməˈɡɛdən/, from Ancient Greek: Ἁρμαγεδών Harmagedōn, Late Latin: Armagedōn, from Hebrew: הר מגידו Har Megiddo) is the prophesied location of a gathering of armies for a battle during the end times, variously interpreted as either a literal or a symbolic location. The term is also used in a generic sense to refer to any end of the world scenario. "Mount" Tel Megiddo is not actually a mountain, but a tell (a hill created by many generations of people living and rebuilding on the same spot) on which ancient forts were built to guard the Via Maris, an ancient trade route linking Egypt with the northern empires of Syria, Anatolia and Mesopotamia. Megiddo was the location of various ancient battles, including one in the 15th century BC and one in 609 BC. Modern Megiddo is a town approximately 25 miles (40 km) west-southwest of the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee in the Kishon River area in Israel.
Deutsch: Laut dem Buch der Offenbarung im Neuen Testament der Bibel ist Armageddon (/ˌɑːrməˈɡɛdən/, aus dem Altgriechischen: Ἁρμαγεδών Harmagedōn, Spätlateinisch: Armagedōn, aus dem Hebräischen: הר מגידו Har Megiddo) der prophezeite Ort einer Versammlung von Armeen für eine Schlacht in der Endzeit, der entweder als wörtlicher oder symbolischer Ort interpretiert wird. Der Begriff wird auch im allgemeinen Sinne verwendet, um sich auf das Szenario des Weltuntergangs zu beziehen. Der „Berg“ Tel Megiddo ist eigentlich kein Berg, sondern ein Tell (ein Hügel, der von vielen Generationen von Menschen geschaffen wurde, die an derselben Stelle lebten und wiederaufbauten) auf dem alte Festungen errichtet wurden, um die Via Maris, eine alte Handelsroute, zu schützen. Sie verband Ägypten mit den nördlichen Reichen Syrien, Anatolien und Mesopotamien. Megiddo war Schauplatz verschiedener antiker Schlachten, darunter eine im 15. Jahrhundert v. Chr. und eine im Jahr 609 v. Chr. Das moderne Megiddo ist eine Stadt etwa 40 km westsüdwestlich der Südspitze des See Genezareth im Gebiet des Flusses Kischon in Israel. |
