• Rev 14 14, 16 For they are spirits of demons,
  performing signs, which go out to the kings of
  the earth and of the whole world, to gather them
  to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
  16 And they gathered them together to the place
  called in Hebrew, Armageddon.
• Rev 1911-16 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold,
  a white horse. And He who sat on him was called
  Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges
  and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of
  fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a
  name written that no one knew except Himself. 13
  He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and
  His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the
  armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white
  and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now
  out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it
  He should strike the nations. And He Himself will
  rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads
  the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of
  Almighty God. 16And He has on His robe and on His
  thigh a name written KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF
  LORDS.
• Rev 19 19-21 And I saw the beast, the kings of
  the earth, and their armies, gathered together to
  make war against Him who sat on the horse and
  against His army. ______20 Then the beast was
  captured, and with him the false prophet who
  worked signs in his presence, by which he
  deceived those who received the mark of the beast
  and those who worshiped his image. These two were
  cast alive into the lake of fire burning with
  brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the
  sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who
  sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled
  with their flesh.

  constellations, Will not give their light The

  the moon will not cause its light to shine.
• 13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, And the
  earth will move out of her place, In the wrath
  of the Lord of hosts And in the day of His
  fierce anger.

  might say the Lights Went Out

17
Edoms World (Isa 34)

• 4 All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, And
  the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll
  All their host shall fall down As the leaf falls
  from the vine, And as fruit falling from a fig
  tree. 7The wild oxen shall come down with them,
  And the young bulls with the mighty bulls Their
  land shall be soaked with blood, And their dust
  saturated with fatness.
• 9 Its streams shall be turned into pitch, And
  its dust into brimstone Its land shall become
  burning pitch. 10 It shall not be quenched
  night or day Its smoke shall ascend forever.
  From generation to generation it shall lie waste
  No one shall pass through it forever and ever.
• 11 But the pelican and the porcupine shall
  possess it, Also the owl and the raven shall
  dwell in it. And He shall stretch out over it
  The line of confusion and the stones of
  emptiness. 13 And thorns shall come up in its
  palaces, Nettles and brambles in its fortresses
  It shall be a habitation of jackals, A
  courtyard for ostriches.
• 14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet
  with the jackals, And the wild goat shall bleat
  to its companion Also the night creature shall
  rest there,
• And find for herself a place of rest.

Can All This Literally Happen At the Same Time?
