3 definitions found From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: Armageddon n 1: (New Testament) the scene of the final battle between the kings of the Earth at the end of the world [syn: {Armageddon}] 2: any catastrophically destructive battle; "they called the first World War an Armageddon" [syn: {Armageddon}] From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: Armageddon occurs only in Rev. 16:16 (R.V., "Har-Magedon"), as symbolically designating the place where the "battle of that great day of God Almighty" (ver. 14) shall be fought. The word properly means the "mount of Megiddo." It is the scene of the final conflict between Christ and Antichrist. The idea of such a scene was suggested by the Old Testament great battle-field, the plain of Esdraelon (q.v.). From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]: Armageddon, hill of fruits; mountain of Megiddo
