Armageddon International Airport May Be Built

“Orthodox” 16th Century Representation of the “Apocalypse”

Israeli authorities are trying to decide whether to built an international airport in the region of Armageddon:

…While the building of such an international airport at Megiddo near Haifa has been greeted with major opposition by local residents, who fear the damage to the environment, the Negev has been begging for a project of this size since Israel decided to set up a second international airport.source: http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/docview.asp?did=1000537426&fid=980

Since the 200,000,000 man army will likely use a variety of methods of transport (with ground transport the main way), it should be of little surprise that a large airport may be built there. A smaller airport already exists in Megiddo (and there is an Israeli air force base in that valley). Airports may provide some end-time logistical support–but a larger one in Megiddo is not necessarily an absolute biblical necessity. (And even one in Negev could be used for future logistical support.)

Here are two translations of some verses in Revelation that discuss the future happenings in this region:

12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared…And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. (Revelation 16:12, NKJV).

12 The sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates. Its water was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings that come from the sunrise…16 He gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew, Megiddo. (Revelation 16:12, WEB: Word English Bible).

The “kings of the east/sunrise” are the only leaders with the ability to put together a 200,000,000 army. And one of those is prophesied (Revelation 9:13-21).

Many events are taking place that seem to align with the fulfillment of end-time prophecies. And a large international airport in Megiddo may be one of them.
