The Battle to End All Wars (29 of 39)
Series: The King Is Coming
Dr. James Merritt
Revelation 14:14-20
Introduction
1. We come again to that phrase ‘‘and I looked, and behold’’, (v.14) this reminds us that we are to slow down. John would say today, ‘‘stop, look, and listen,’’ if revelation was a movie, this would be the one part you would not want to miss, this would be the one time you would not want to take the ‘‘popcorn break.’’

This gigantic plain encompasses 4,500 square miles. It is one of the most majestic sights in all of the land of Israel.

Israel will rebel and resist this evil tyrant.
6. At this time the anti-Christ will amass the greatest army ever assembled of over 200 million soldiers. They will assemble in this great valley preparing fo ...
