Battle of Armageddon

We often envision the battle of Armageddon to be this long violent prolonged war between the Beast and his minions and God and the saints. This is not what Scripture tells us will happen.

And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth:

Rev 19:21

1st the Beast and False Prophet are thrown into the Lake of Fire, then the minions are killed by the voice of God. The sword going out of his mouth represents the power of His word. The same power was used in creation:

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made …

Psa 33:6

Armageddon will be bloody, but it will not be a battle, nor will it be prolonged. Before it even really begins, He ends it.

This reminds me of when the Romans and the Jews came to take Jesus:

Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. 
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

John 18:3-6

Jesus used the power of His word here in the garden, and the solders were driven backward and to the ground. What a wonderful taste, a foreshadow of how God END the ‘battle’ of Armageddon.

Never forget the power of the One we love and worship. There is none like Him!
