| Article 123-Armageddon | ||
| Canon 2765 | ||
| Armageddon is a terms referring to any battleground upon which a final battle will be fought between the forces of good and evil. Hence, the term also denotes any scene of a decisive conflict on a great scale or any great and crucial conflict. | ||
 |
||
| Canon 2766 | ||
| The term “Armageddon” originates from Mount Megiddo and the small plain of the same name in Palestine that has witnessed constant conflict for millennia. Due to its use in the Apocalyptic writings of John of Patmos, it is a term that has become synonymous with End of Days philosophy. | ||
|
||
| Canon 2767 | ||
| As correct interpretation of all Apocalyptic writing is to recognize the symbolism not the literal, Armageddon is a symbol of a final battle between good and evil. However, with all Apocalyptic symbols it may simultaneously be at the same time a literal in signifying an event during some future conflict in the Middle East in this area of Mount Megiddo. | ||
