The need for Christians to stay awake becomes even more pressing as the next verse of Revelation comes closer to fulfillment: "And they [the expressions inspired by demons] gathered them [the earthly kings, or rulers] together to a place that is called in Hebrew Har-Magedon." (Revelation 16:16) This name, more commonly rendered Armageddon, occurs only once in the Bible. But it has fired mankind's imagination. World leaders have warned of a possible nuclear Armageddon /Armageddon has been linked also with the city of Megiddo, the site of many decisive battles in Bible times, and some religious leaders have therefore speculated that the final war on earth will take place in that limited area. In this, they are far wide of the truth.
