The Battle of Armageddon – Revelation 16:12-16 – Skip Heitzig

The Battle of Armageddon – Revelation 16:12-16 – Skip Heitzig

Episode 18 from the series The End Is Near? with Skip Heitzig. Watch the complete series:

The very word Armageddon sends shivers through the soul! Most everyone has heard the term (or seen the movie). The word even gets mentioned from time to time by world leaders. Most everyone understands it to be a reference to some final battle. But today let’s drill down deeper than just a fictional Hollywood film about an asteroid destroyed by a warhead. Today we will examine five facets of this culminating military campaign, including what will bring it to an end.

This teaching is from the series The End Is Near? with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

    Video speaker is German ,so from side of Hitler who and European Titus persecuted jews like Inquisition supporter. But criticizing middle east where large number of Christians and many jews became Muslims. Muslims rather liberated Jews and settled them in Muslm lands. Last time giving them backfired, jews in Muslim lands and Muslims as homeless in other countries. Gog and Magog are not Muslms of Turkey and Iran. Jesus is promised and chosen Messiah.Muslims believe that. Do jews believe ?Title of New Testament Romeo chap 9….Jews have rejected Jesus.Speaker wrongly interprets Romeo11.30 to 33. Why only jews all sinner people may receive pardon of God.Still Zaccaria 13 .8 says two thirds Jews will perish. If Jews don’t accept Jesus as Chosen and Promised Messiah ,he will take revenge for humiliating him and his great holy Mother who is also Chosen and honoured by God as Mother of Jesus Christ. However,we love and respect Abraham, Jacob, Moses ,Jesus Christ and Muhammad SM.

    An army of 200 million people all descending on one location would be a logistical nightmare and from a military perspective incredibly stupid. An army of 200 million drones and missiles though. Nobody thought about that.

    I don’t believe that Jesus was the son of Yahweh. And I believe that if Yahweh does exist, he is incredibly evil, and not worthy of worship. I’m an atheist what’s going to happen to me at Armageddon? Will I be thrown into hell because I don’t believe?

    These teachings are all messed up.
    There are two beasts in Rev 13. The second beast, the beast that comes out of the earth, who has two horns like a lamb is the antichrist. He is not the lamb Jesus Christ, he is the false messiah. He does miracles. He even causes fire out of the sky. No such talk is said of the first beast. The Beast out of the sea will be a leader of the revived roman empire.

    (Sorry kind Sir, for the VERY, VERY long "comment". But I believe it NEEDS to be said, because what is going on, in these horrible days)

    So I believe; the "Battle of Armageddon" is not going to happen; whenever persons say, "It’s going to be a War against the Jews"! And from the "North", many of them will say! Well, it’s not going to happen. Because on "Judgment Day"; they will know things they’ve believed now; were lies. IE…

    There is only a short bit of scripture, about Armageddon in Rev 16 (So what?). And always, many persons see things; and they take it to the highest "nth" degree!

    Also worse: MOST of them espouse theories, that are different!. Oh how sad. And over many centuries; they have it untold differenced; to the "4 Corners of the word"! How Sad.

    Now, there IS, going to be a REAL battle; that NO one could imagine, how powerful it will be. And we should KNOW that, because of what Jesus said in…

    Matthew 24:21 For then shall be Great Tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be, again.

    And read what Paul said in…Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Holy Spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

    Another in…Galatians 3:29 And if ye be Jesus’, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

    This means: most of those that call themselves "Jews"; are liars! Oh yes. For the "TRUE" Jew, is any one that believes IN Jesus since Creation. Who is the only true God Almighty, that ever will be! Praise Jesus’ Holy Name. Also, John and Paul said this too, in…

    John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was within God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh (Jesus), and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

    1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh (Jesus), justified in the Holy Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

    Summarize: There IS going to be a horrible War (coming soon); that will make the "Holocaust" in the WWII; look like a "Sunday Picnic! Oh indeed. For ALL of the world(that is not Born Again; are going to try annihilate ALL Born Again’s, in the Great Tribulation. Believe or not.

    (Now believe satan KNOWS all this…)

    So get this: satan and his 200 million "false angels" (in their "5 month"s here) are going to help the non Born Again’s; so there will never be another Born Again , (again)! However, Jesus and His 600 million Angels; will hide US and "Feed" us "Manna"; for those horrible 5 months!

    Then, satan and his "fallen echoes"; are sent back to their "Abyss"; knowing they did NOT do; what they want to! Thus, they plan to annihilate US, after 1000 yrs comes; when the "Judgment Day" commences. But Jesus will immediately; cast satan (and his "echoes") into a "Burning Lake of Fire" which is Hell.

    Thus, satan NEVER is able to create a "War of Wars". Praise Jesus. And I love him. It’s end of story, and I rest me case…

    …in any case kind Sir and Brethren, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!

    Here is the pesher of Rev. 16: 12-16. (12)– On the Day of Pentecost, Wednesday, May 25, 68 AD. The 6th minister gave the money to the Damascus monastery, in an alliance with the rival Herod. Damascus proselytes were permitted only to be Nazarites, & the chief celibate from Qumran made Damascus its pilgrimage center. (13)– At Qumran on the same day I saw the zealot triarchy of 6AD re-formed, with a Pharisee High Priest as the Dragon. It included the Herodian Magus as the Beast. It included the rival Herod as the Calf, & with him, in the place of Saddok-Theudas, was Simon Gioras of the order of Gad, a married man attached to the Therapeuts. (14)– Simon Gioras acted as a zealot priest, giving promotions, and he summoned Erastus Saul Herod & myself, Tychicus, the Chief Gentile celibate with membership both at Qumran and in Rome, to come to a council at Qumran on Friday, June, 10, 6 AD, the solar 31st, which would be the test for Matthias the Saduccee, as it was the day ending year 38 of the revised Exodus, when there should be a Jordan crossing. (15)– I spoke for the congregation: "I volunteer for military service with Erastus. I have been appointed an archbishop. I will observe the rules of Qumran celibates concerning garments covering the body, so that nakedness is not seen. But Erastus does not keep this rule. (16)– The seer took Erastus to the place of assembly of military leaders in the SW area at Qumran, where priests came down to the latrine in an unclean state. ///Here is real meaning of Armageddon: TheJews who were going to fight for Jerusalem would come to the unclean SW area of Qumran, which because of one of its uses could be called A-R-Magedon. A priest was of Class A (Aleph) & Grade R (Resh). An A-R was a sanctuary priest. The tribe of Dan had 2 parts, Great Dan & Little Dan. Great Dan in Greek was Mega-Dan. So combining A-R with Mega-Dan means a sanctuary priest in the unclean place: the latrine. ///Here is the pesher of Rev. 14: 20. In Rome,, beginning Thursday, January 1, 61 AD, Clement, the bishop to Roman Gentiles in Herod’s house, was punished for the non-fulfillment by being defined as a village bishop & removed from office at the age of 50. He took the Christian communion cup to the Forum of Appius, where the communion was given by the bishop of the visiting Saduccee, in the upper room above the catacombs, a place defined as an unclean one an hour’s walk from Herod’s house. /// ‘Winepress’: The dining chamber in Herod’s house in Rome (The 3 Taverns or Tavern 3) where Herod entertained emperors and procurators, with no limit on fermented wine. When the procurator ‘the Wrath’, was present, itvwas called ‘ the Winepress of the Wrath of God’. After 6AD, when Judea came under the direct rule of Rome, it was important that the procurators appointed to the country should been entertained,, for their attitude to the Jewish religion would make all the difference. In Judea itself, the resentment of the Roman occupation was so great that 6 AD was called ‘the Wrath’. But in Rome the appointed representatives were entertained lavishly, so the dining chamber in Herod’s house was called ‘the Winepress’, & ‘the Winepress of the Wrath of God’, since the Saduccee priest, called ‘God’, gave the token initiation.

    The battle of Armageddon is not in Revelation chapter 16 the battle of Armageddon is in chapter 19.

    The gathering together for the battle of Armageddon is here in chapter 16, but the actual battle of Armageddon happens in chapter 19 as Jesus comes to earth to begin his millennial reign.

    The battle of Armageddon is simply a figure for the victory Christ achieved at Calvary.

    It has nothing to do with a physical future battle in Israel.

  27. @bigchristianhope on July 24, 2025 at 12:30 am

    Skip is the real deal. Yes the sermon is wonderful, intelligent and enthralling, but the altar call is the point of Truth. This is the way forward for the Church, we have to open our hearts and open our minds and stop being backbiters and complainers about everything. We all so desperately need the Love of the Father.

    Pastor Heitzig, thank you for all those YouTube sermons. I love them. Now, I have a question, the second 3.5 years of the trib, the Armageddon, the 7 years of burning the stuff afterwards, is more than the 3.5 years left. Indeed, appears to go past the return of our Lord. I would love a macro view of scripture with calendar, and the micro view is infinite it seems. I’m trying to say, forest first, then trees, one at a time? Thank you! You are loved! Rick polley

  42. @ignatswinston5460 on July 24, 2025 at 12:46 am

    @40:16 – But…. "comes as a thief in the night" – has been used as a "proof text" for the eminent return/rapture. It cannnot apply to the trib saints since they won’t be at all surprised at the coming of Jesus. They will know the precise day of His return due to scripture providing them with the timetable. Or – are you saying that "comes as a thief in the night" can be applied to both groups? Applied to Believers regarding eminant rapture while also being applicable to the world at the time of the end? ???? This is now confusing.
