| 词源 | Armageddon. Today Armageddon usually refers to a nuclear war that marks the end of the world. It derives from the biblical prophecy that the final battle between good and evil on Judg- ment Day would be fought on the battlefield of Armageddon (Rev. 16:14–16), which is now Megiddo, near Samaria in Israel. The Hebrew har Megiddo, from which Armageddon derives, means the har or mountain of Megiddo. |
