What valley lies below Mount Carmel and where will the final great battle be fought?
Mount Carmel juts in from the Mediterranean Sea south of present-day Haifa. Dropping off it leads down into the valley of Jezreel, also called the valley of Armageddon. That valley is identified as the place where the final great battle will be fought someday.
Les explains that Mount Carmel juts in from the Mediterranean Sea just south of the present-day city of Haifa. When a person drops off Mount Carmel, the land goes down into the valley of Jezreel, or the valley of Armageddon, where the final great battle will be fought someday. This setting is connected with Elijah gathering all the Israelites and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel after the three-year drought during Ahab and Jezebel's reign.
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
