White rabbit of Alice in wonderland... March hare...
March Hare... wiki... This article is about the fictional character. For other uses, see March Hare (disambiguation).
The March Hare (called Haigha in Through the Looking- Glass) is a character most famous for appearing in the tea party scene in Lewis Carroll's 1865 book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
The main character, Alice, hypothesizes,
"The March Hare will be much the most interesting, and perhaps as this is May it won't be raving mad – at least not so mad as it was in March."[1]
"Mad as a March hare" is a common British English phrase, both now and in Carroll's time, and appears in John Heywood's collection of proverbs published in 1546. It is reported in The Annotated Alice by Martin Gardner that this proverb is based on popular belief about hares' behaviour at the beginning of the long breeding season, which lasts from February to September in Britain. Early in the season, unreceptive females often use their forelegs to repel overenthusiastic males. It used to be incorrectly believed that these bouts were between males fighting for breeding supremacy.[2]
Like the character's friend, the Hatter, the March Hare feels compelled to always behave as though it is tea- time because the Hatter supposedly "murdered the time" whilst singing for the Queen of Hearts. Sir John Tenniel's illustration also shows him with straw on his head, a common way to depict madness in Victorian times.[3][4] The March Hare later appears at the trial for the Knave of Hearts, and for a final time as "Haigha" (which is pronounced to rhyme with "mayor", according to Carroll, and a homophone of "hare" in a non-rhotic accent), the personal messenger to the White King in Through the Looking-Glass (Alice either does not recognize him as the March Hare of her earlier dream, or chooses not to comment about this).
Alice in Verse.... Main article: Alice in Verse: The Lost Rhymes of Wonderland
The major departure from Carroll's original here is that instead of appearing a jittery witness, the March Hare is cast as the Prosecutor. After the charge is read, the Hare addresses the court with an opening statement that more or less vindicates the accused, before turning his accusing eye upon the court itself for failing to serve tea with the evidence (the tarts).

Andy Black Lyrics... "Feast Or Famine" https://youtu.be/XSRr2XOJ6QQ
Making my plans to rule the world Driving alone on Bridgetown Road Cracks in the houses, shattered windows Covington was more like home
Thunder in the blue skies Lightning in the daylight Storm clouds in our eyes (Eyes, eyes) Tidal waves in my heart Earthquakes in the still dark Eclipses in the night
I'm going hungry these days, oh-whoa-oh Feast or famine Running these days, oh-whoa-oh Feast or famine Caught up in the headlights Shadow in the moonlight Breakdown, breakdown Going hungry these days, oh-whoa-oh It's only feast or famine (Oh-whoa-oh) It's only feast or famine (Oh-whoa-oh)
When we were young we took the chances That our parents never did Breaking the glass, we made mistakes And never thought too much of it
Thunder in the blue skies Lightning in the daylight Storm clouds in our eyes Tidal waves in my heart Earthquakes in the still dark Eclipses in the night
I'm going hungry these days, oh-whoa-oh Feast or famine Running these days, oh-whoa-oh Feast or famine Caught up in the headlights Shadow in the moonlight Breakdown, breakdown Going hungry these days, oh-whoa-oh It's only feast or famine (Oh-whoa-oh) It's only feast or famine (Oh-whoa-oh)
Sometimes you know it's hard to breathe Temptation makes it hard to see The more I feel, the more I starve I drank the darkness with the stars My bones are all that's left of me
I'm going hungry these days, oh-whoa-oh I'm going hungry these days, oh-whoa-oh Feast or famine Running these days, oh-whoa-oh Feast or famine Caught up in the headlights Shadow in the moonlight Breakdown, breakdown Going hungry these days, oh-whoa-oh It's only feast or famine (Oh-whoa-oh) It's only feast or famine (Oh-whoa-oh) .....

The Marriage of the Lamb...
6 And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude, like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder, crying out:
“Hallelujah! (Halah El! btw...aka 'praise G_d!' in hebrew!) For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready. (The Bride is the New Jerusalem that comes Down fron heaven re... revs 21...
Revs 21... A New Heaven and a New Earth (Isaiah 65:17–25)
1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth,a for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. (after the great global reset aka what i call times of noah revisited..everything is a repeating cycle..and are cycles wiyhin cycles.,as 'wheels within wheels' ezekiels vision...and nothing new under the sun..and ecc 3..a season for everything under heaven!... im now hearing in the aethers!) 2 I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. 4‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.” 5 And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.” 6 And He told me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. (The Eternal One!) To the thirsty I will give freely from the spring of the water of life. 7 The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son. (G_d wants family!)
8 But to the cowardly, the unbelieving,the abominable ,the murderers, the sexually immoral the sorcerers, the idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur (gehenna). This is the second death.”
The New Jerusalem....
9Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11 shining with the glory of God. Its radiance was like a most precious jewel, like a jasper, as clear as crystal. 12 The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels (guardian angels with flaming swords like at the gate to Eden!) at the gates. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations bearing the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. (So made up of the 12 tribes of the house of israel and the 12 apostles/disciples of jesus/yehoshuah the Great Teacher/Great High Priest and Rabbi!)
15 The angel who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls. 16The city lies foursquare, with its width the same as its length. And he measured the city with the rod, and all its dimensions were equal—12,000 stadia in length and width and height. 17 And he measured its wall to be 144 cubits, by the human measure the angel was using.
18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city itself of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone: (these stones are also on the Jewish high priest's breastplate as well and signify each tribe of the house of israel..re the vision of Joshua/yeshua aka short form for the Hebrew name yehoshuah aka jesus the High Priest!!! Re...Zechariah 3!!!) Kk.. I prompted now to post Zechariah 3 via Spirit!...
Zechariah 3 Common English Bible
Fourth night vision...
3 Then the Lord showed me the high priest Joshua, standing before the messenger (an angel) from the Lord, and the Adversary /ha satan/lucifer was standing by his right side to accuse him. 2 And the Lord said to the Adversary: "The Lord rebukes you, Adversary. The Lord, the one choosing Jerusalem, rebukes you. Is this one not a log snatched from the fire?” 3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes and standing before the messenger (an angel). 4 He responded to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” And he said to Joshua, “Look, I have removed your guilt from you. Put on priestly robes.” 5 He said, “Put a clean turban upon his head.” So they put the clean turban upon his head, and they dressed him in garments while the Lord’s messenger (an angel) stood by. 6 Then the Lord’s messenger admonished Joshua: 7 “The Lord of heavenly forces proclaims: If ( aka given a choice here!) you will walk in my paths, if you will keep my charge, then you will lead my house and guard my courts, and I will allow you to walk among those standing here.
8 Now listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your companions sitting before you— for these men are a sign— look, I am about to bring my servant, the Branch. 9 See this stone that I have put before Joshua. Upon one stone, there are seven facets. I am about to engrave an inscription on it, says the Lord of heavenly forces. I will remove the guilt of that land in one day. 10 On that day, says the Lord of heavenly forces, everyone will invite their neighbors to sit beneath. their vines and the fig trees.” (vine symbolic of jesus therefore atonement ....and the fig tree symbolic of the sin nature re Genesis.. and Adam and eve sewed fig leaves as clothing to hide their nakedness and shame... also the parable of the withered fig tree applies here as well.. jesus was hungry and went up to a fig tree and called for the tree to produce fruit but the fig tree was fruitless so jesus told the fig tree to wither and I totally withered up...anyhoos.... .....
The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, with each gate consisting of a single pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, as clear as glass. 22 But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory (shekinah) of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb (jesus/yehoshuah) is its lamp. 24 By its light (inner illumination/divine wisdom) the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory (tribute) 25 Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there. 26 And into the city will be brought the glory and honor (treasures, wealth and tributes) of the nations.
***27 But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. ***
Me here again and pondering... what if it's the vine that I infact the 'Tree of Life' which was in the center of the Garden of Eden but also spoken of in romans 11 re... the Parable of the Vine and the branches.. the grape vine makes wine symbolic of 'atonement and the wedding covanent/contract'....but also grape juice boxes for the young kiddies too...lol..(sorry i just couldnt resist the last part)....Anyhoos... .....
8 She was given clothing of fine linen, bright and pure.” For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints. (the robe that the New Jerusalem wears is the righteous acts/thoughts and actions/deeds/works of the saints aka believers in jesus/yehoshuah. (The remnant from the 12 tribes aka house of israel/seed/descendents is the 'elect'.. re revs 7 and revs 14.. and add in romans 11...the vine and the branches parable.. The 'woman israel' comprises of the 10 tribes of the nortthern kingdom, the southern kingdom of judah, benjamin and some levites and with the gentile nations graphed in via adoption.. and sanwixhed in the middle aka 'times of the gentiles'. Romans 9 to Romans 11 and Isaiah 65)
***9 Then the angel told me to write, “Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”***
10 So I fell at his feet to worship him. But he told me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who rely on the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
The Rider on the White Horse...
11 Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war. 12 He has eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. He has a name written on Him that only He Himself knows.
***13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God.(the Logos)***
14 The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and pure, follow Him on white horses. 15 And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Defeat of the Beast and False Prophet...
*** 17Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying overhead, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings and commanders and mighty men, of horses and riders, of everyone slave and free, small and great.”***
***19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies assembled to wage war against the One seated on the horse, and against His army. 20 But the beast was captured along with the false prophet, who on its behalf had performed signs deceiving those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. Both the beast and the false prophet were thrown alive into (gehenna) the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword (Word of G_d and Truth) that proceeded from the mouth of the One (jesus/yehoshuah who is also known as the Word of G_d and Truth) seated on the horse. And all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.*** ....
Darn I lost my train of thought now.. where am I? Kk...
Isaiah 56:9... Salvation for Foreigners....
1 This is what the LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for My salvation is coming soon, and My righteousness will be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say, “The LORD will utterly exclude me from His people.” And let the eunuch not say, “I am but a dry tree.” 4For this is what the LORD says: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, who choose what pleases Me and hold fast to My covenant— 5 I will give them, in My house and within My walls, a memorial and a name better than that of sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.
6 And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to minister to Him,mto love the name of the LORD, and to be His servants— all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it and who hold fast to My covenant— 7 I will bring them to My holy mountain (Zion) and make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on My altar, for My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations.”
8 Thus declares the Lord GOD, who gathers the dispersed of Israel: “I will gather to them still others besides those already gathered.”
Israel’s Sinful Leaders....
***9 Come, all you beasts of the field; eat greedily, all you beasts of the forest.***
10 Israel’s watchmen (seers/prophets) are blind, they are all oblivious;they are all mute (silent) dogs, they cannot bark; they are dreamers lying around, loving to slumber. 11 Like ravenous dogs, they are never satisfied. They are shepherds (pastors, rabbis,leaders) with no discernment; they all turn to their own way, each one seeking his own gain: 12“Come, let me get the wine, let us imbibe (drink?) the strong drink, and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!” .....
Jeremiah 7:33...
Jeremiah’s Message at the Temple Gate...
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 “Stand in the gate of the house of the LORD and proclaim this message: Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who enter through these gates to worship the LORD. 3 Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Correct your ways and deeds, and I will let you live in this place. 4 Do not trust in deceptive words, chanting: ‘This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.’
5 For if you really correct your ways and deeds, if you act justly toward one another, 6 if you no longer oppress the foreigner and the fatherless and the widow, and if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow other gods to your own harm, 7 then I will let you live in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever. 8 But look, you keep trusting in deceptive words to no avail. 9 Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known, 10 and then come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, ‘We are delivered, so we can continue with all these abominations’? 11 Has this house, which bears My Name, become a den of robbersa in your sight? Yes, I too have seen it, declares the LORD.
12 But go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for My Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel. 13 And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD, and because I have spoken to you again and again but you would not listen, and I have called to you but you would not answer, 14 therefore what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears My Name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave to you and your fathers. 15 And I will cast you out of My presence, just as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.
Judah’s Idolatry Persists....
16 As for you, do not pray for these people, do not offer a plea or petition on their behalf, and do not beg Me, for I will not listen to you. 17 Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 The sons gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough to make cakes for the Queen of Heaven; they pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger. 19 But am I the One they are provoking? declares the LORD. Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?
20 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.
21 This is what the LORD of Hosts (Angels), the God of Israel, says: Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves! 22 For when I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt, I did not merely command them about burnt offerings and sacrifices, 23 but this is what I commanded them: Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must walk in all the ways I have commanded you, so that it may go well with you. 24 Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but they followed the stubborn inclinations of their own evil hearts. They went backward and not forward. 25 From the day your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent you all My servants the prophets again and again. 26 Yet they would not listen to Me or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and did more evil than their fathers.
27 When you tell them all these things, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer. 28 Therefore you must say to them, ‘This is the nation that would not listen to the voice of the LORD their God and would not receive correction. Truth has perished; it has disappeared from their lips. 29Cut off your hair and throw it away. Raise up a lamentation on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.’
The Valley of Slaughter....
30 For the people of Judah have done evil in My sight, declares the LORD. They have set up their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it. 31 They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Hinnom so they could burn their sons and daughters in the fire—something I never commanded, nor did it even enter My mind.
***32 So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when this place will no longer be called Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room. 33 The corpses of this people will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to scare them away. 34 I will remove from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sounds of joy and gladness and the voices of the bride and bridegroom, for the land will become a wasteland.”*** ......

Eighteenth Dynasty: 1 550 BC - 1292 BC King Thutmose III - The Battle of Megiddo
Above: The three roads described in the Annals of Thutmose III in relation to the battle of Megiddo in the 15th century BC (as reconstructed by Nelson). Thutmose took the middle road, the Wady Arah, which was the most difficult but led him very close to Megiddo.
Base map and text: adapted from Nelson (1913) Permission: Public Domain Modifications to the base map: Don Hitchcock 2021 The Battle of Megiddo (fought in the 15th century BC) was fought between Egyptian forces under the command of Pharaoh Thutmose III and a large rebellious coalition of Canaanite vassal states led by the king of Kadesh. It is the first battle to have been recorded in what is accepted as relatively reliable detail. Megiddo is also the first recorded use of the composite bow and the first body count. All details of the battle come from Egyptian sources — primarily the hieroglyphic writings on the Hall of Annals in the Temple of Amun-Re at Karnak, Thebes (now Luxor), by the military scribe Tjaneni.
The ancient Egyptian account gives the date of the battle as the 21st day of the first month of the third season, of Year 23 of the reign of Thutmose III. It has been claimed that this was April 16, 1457 BC, according to the Middle Chronology, although other publications place the battle in 1482 BC or 1479 BC. The Egyptians routed the Canaanite forces, which fled to safety in the city of Megiddo. Their action resulted in the lengthy Siege of Megiddo.
Accepted spelling of place names has changed over the years, and between sources, not least since they were originally in local ancient dialects, and there are often alternate spellings of modern Arabic or Hebrew place names in any case. Snip...

*** 4 On the mountains of Israel you will fall—you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to every kind of ravenous bird and wild beast. 5 You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.***
6 I will send fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the LORD. 7 So I will make My holy name known among My people Israel and will no longer allow it to be profaned. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. 8 Yes, it is coming, and it will surely happen, declares the Lord GOD. This is the day of which I have spoken. 9 Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out, kindle fires, and burn up the weapons—the bucklers and shields, the bows and arrows, the clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel. 10 They will not gather wood from the countryside or cut it from the forests, for they will use the weapons for fuel. They will loot those who looted them and plunder those who plundered them, declares the Lord GOD.
11And on that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers, east of the Sea. It will block those who travel through, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon-gog. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land. 13 All the people of the land will bury them, and it will bring them renown on the day I display My glory,d declares the Lord GOD.
14 And men will be employed to continually pass through the land to cleanse it by burying the invaders who remain on the ground. At the end of the seven months they will begin their search. 15 As they pass through the land, anyone who sees a human bone will set up a pillar next to it, until the gravediggers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog. 16 (Even the city will be named Hamonah. And so they will cleanse the land.
***17 And as for you, son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: Call out to every kind of bird and to every beast of the field: ‘Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you, a great feast on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood. 18 You will eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as though they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls—all the fattened animals of Bashan. 19 At the sacrifice I am preparing, you will eat fat until you are gorged and drink blood until you are drunk. 20 And at My table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, of mighty men and warriors of every kind,’ declares the Lord GOD. ***

21 I will display My glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the judgment that I execute and the hand that I lay upon them. 22 From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God. 23 And the nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their iniquity, because they were unfaithful to Me. So I hid My face from them and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, so that they all fell by the sword. 24 I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and transgressions, and I hid My face from them.
25 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Now I will restore Jacob (israel) from captivity and will have compassion on the whole house of Israel, and I will be jealous for My holy name. 26 They will forget their disgrace and all the treachery they committed against Me, when they dwell securely in their land, with no one to frighten them. 27 When I bring them back from the peoples and gather them out of the lands of their enemies, I will show My holiness in them in the sight of many nations. 28 Then they will know that I am the LORD their God, when I regather them to their own land, not leaving any of them behind after their exile among the nations. 29 And I will no longer hide My face from them, for I will pour out My Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Lord GOD.” .....

The First Six Bowls of Wrath....
1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out on the earth the seven bowls of God’s wrath.”
2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and loathsome, malignant sores broke out on those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
3 And the second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it turned to blood like that of the dead, and every living thing in the sea died.
4 And the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they turned to blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters say:
“Righteous are You, O Holy One, who is and was, because You have brought these judgments. 6 For they have spilled the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink, as they deserve.”
7 And I heard the altar reply: “Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are Your judgments.” 8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given power to scorch the people with fire. 9 And the people were scorched by intense heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues; yet they did not repent and give Him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness, and men began to gnaw their tongues in anguish 11 and curse the God of heaven for their pains and sores; yet they did not repent of their deeds.
12And the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the East.
*** 13And I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs coming out of the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. 14 These are demonic spirits that perform signs and go out to all the kings of the earth, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.
15“Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who remains awake and clothed, so that he will not go naked and let his shame be exposed.”
16 And they assembled the kings in the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon. (Hebrew its har Megiddo The Seventh Bowl of Wrath...
17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came from the throne in the temple, saying, “It is done!”
18 And there were flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder, and a great earthquake the likes of which had not occurred since men were upon the earth —so mighty was the great quake. 19 The great city (jerusalem) was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. And God remembered Babylon the great and gave her the cup of the wine of the fury of His wrath.
20 Then every island fled, and no mountain could be found. 21 And great hailstones weighing almost a hundred pounds each rained down on them from above. And men cursed God for the plague of hail, because it was so horrendous. .....

Megiddo is an archaeological site that was inhabited between roughly 7000 B.C. and 300 B.C. Numerous battles were fought near Megiddo during that time, and the Book of Revelation, which refers to the site as Armageddon, prophesied that a final battle at the end of time would take place there.
"Megiddo is mentioned a dozen times in the Hebrew Bible, and in a multitude of other ancient texts, but it is especially well-known as the setting in the New Testament for the penultimate battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil," wrote Eric Cline, a professor of classical and Near Eastern languages and civilizations at George Washington University, in his book "Digging up Armageddon: The Search for the Lost City of Solomon" (Princeton University Press, 2020).

The name Armageddon comes from the Hebrew word "Har Megiddo," which means the "mountain of Megiddo," according to Cline. "By the Middle Ages, multiple nationalities, languages, and centuries had added an 'n' and dropped the 'h', transforming Har Megiddo to Harmageddon and thence to Armageddon," Cline wrote.
A mound of history
Today, visitors to the site will see that much of it is a "tell" (also spelled tel) , or a mound made from the remains that humans have left behind over thousands of years.
"Within the mound itself, we now know, are the remains of at least 20 ancient cities, built one on top of another," Cline wrote. "There have actually been numerous Armageddons at the ancient site of Megiddo already, as one civilization, group or political entity gave way to another over the millennia — one world ending and another beginning."

Many battles have been fought at, or near Megiddo. For example, Egyptian pharaoh Thutmose III, female pharaoh Hatshepsut's nephew and step-son who succeeded her and reigned 1479–1425 B.C., defeated a coalition of cities near Megiddo. His victory resulted in Egypt taking over a sizable portion of the eastern Mediterranean.
Another important battle took place when King Josiah of Judah fought Egyptian Pharaoh Necho II (reign 610– 595 B.C.) near Megiddo. It resulted in the defeat of Judah and the death of king Josiah. Judah was substantially weakened and was destroyed a few decades later by Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II.
Even in modern times, Megiddo has seen significant battles. In September 1918, during World War I, an allied army led by general Edmund Allenby defeated an Ottoman army near Megiddo. The loss was so crushing that the Ottoman Empire was forced to request an armistice shortly afterward.
Megiddo was a place worth fighting over because the site is located at the crossroads of the Jezreel Valley, an important, strategic location that overlooked several trade routes, wrote archaeologist and The University of Iowa religious studies professor Robert Cargill, in his book "The Cities that Built the Bible" (HarperOne, 2016).
