Summary: “The Bible contains prophecies about the final days, describing how the armies of the World will fight the final battle and that without divine intervention, no life shall be saved (Matthew 24: 22). Certain Biblical scholars have described how closely these prophecies correlate to our modern times and put forward scenarios for this climactic battle. The Battle of Armageddon is a game dealing with this final battle. The game brings together the forces of the World into the ultimate battle for control of the Earth.”
