    This document discusses the meaning and translation of the term "Armageddon" from the book of Revelation. It argues that: 1) "Armageddon" comes from the Hebrew words "Har-Magedon", meaning "Mountain of Magedon". 2) The consonants "m", "g", and "d" in Magedon can be translated as a "gh" sound in Arabic, represented by the Greek letter gamma. 3) Therefore, Armageddon likely refers to a specific mountain location, translated from the original Hebrew place name.

    ARMAGEDDON

    And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. (Revelation 16:16 KJV) And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-magedon. (Revelation 16:16 ASV) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation [Har Moed ], in the sides of the north. (Isaiah 14:13 KJV) Har Moed in Greek is Armageddon. Leslie Hardinge, Jesus Is My Judge, page 180.
    Actually the word, "Armageddon" is better translated in the ARV Har-Magedon. The first part of the compound word - Har - means "mountain." It is the second part of the name that is more difficult to translate. Written in Greek in Revelation, transliterated into English in our Bibles, it nevertheless is a Hebrew designation of a specific place. What "place"? The Hebrew language has no vowels, as such. The three consonants from Magedon which we need to consider are "m ()," g ()," and "d (). In the Hebrew language the Ayin when translated into the Greek is often translated by a gamma (. One example is the name, Gomorrah, sister city to Sodom. The Hebrew spelling is Ayin, (not Gimel) Mem, Res, He. In the LXX, the Greek translation of the Old Testament, the city is spelled, G (gamma) . Gesenius, recognized Hebrew linguist, wrote: While the Hebrew was a living language, this letter [Ayin] which is peculiar to the Semitic tongue, and extremely difficult for our organs to pronounce, seems to have had . . . a two fold pronunciation [a soft and a hard sound]. The harder Ayin which the Arabs called Ghain, was a harsh sound uttered from the bottom of the throat, accompanied by a certain whirring or whizzing, so as resemble the letter "R" when uttered abruptly with a strong rolling. This the Seventy have actually represented by the letter [gamma] in the LXX. (Hebrew and English of the Old Testament, p. 737) The above explanation is represented in a diagram on the next page.
