Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree reach the sixth bowl in their walk through Revelation, and with it the only verse in the Bible that names Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). Michael doesn’t think it describes a war between nations at Megiddo. Josh pushes back with Ezekiel 38–39, Joel 3, and Zechariah 14, and the two of them dive deep in back-and-forth dialogue.

IN THIS EPISODE:
- Why John calls it a mountain when Megiddo is flat
- What the Old Testament prophets saw, and what they couldn’t have known yet
- How “make war” gets used everywhere else in Revelation
- Who Jesus says will be safe when it comes (Revelation 16:15)

Join us for an interesting conversation exploring the Scriptures on the end times and Armageddon.
