Many people say, the book of Revelations.

No, it's Revelation.

It's

Yes, and in there it says that the penultimate battle between good and evil, not the final battle, that's going to be fought in Jerusalem like a thousand years later, but the penultimate battle between good and evil is going to be fought at a place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

That's the way it reads, and that is Jerusalem.

Megiddo.

And we've got all kinds of imagery that we can go into, but basically, it is good versus evil.

And hopefully, good is going to win.

But they were never quite sure when it was going to happen.

And there are still people today that have said it already happened.

And the vast majority, though, are waiting for it to happen.

So one of the reasons I think they picked this site for Armageddon for the penultimate battle, and I wrote about this, I had a book that came out in 2000 called The Battles of Armageddon.

And I don't know if you'll remember, you're probably too young, but in the run-up to 2000, we had the whole Y2K scare.

Everybody thought the world was going to end because of the computers and all that.

I had already been digging at Megiddo since 94 every other year.

So 94, 96, 98.

And I thought, let me write a book about all the battles that have been fought at Megiddo

and publish it before Y2K and I'll make a fortune and I can retire.

But as it turned out, I found out that there were 34 battles that have been fought there.

And so it took me too long to write the book and I missed the Y2K.
