Megiddo (which means Armageddon)is the most famous battlefield of all time. The fortress was once a royal city of canaanites, the king of which was slain by Joshua (Joshua 12:21; 17:11). During Solomon's reign, Megiddo was an important defense post of his kingdom. Remains have been found here revealing that Solomon's stables were able to care for 450 horses and 150 chariots.
Revelation 16 speaks of the final battle where all nations will gather in the Valley of Armageddon for the final war. This is when God brings the curtain down on our enemy and there will be thre greatest victory of all time!!!
From Megiddo, you can view Mt. Tabor, where Christ's transfiguration occured as well as Mt. Gilboa, where King Saul met his fate (another shout out to my David bible study girls!)
