Armageddon is a biblical term meaning “Hill of Megiddo” in Hebrew. The ancient Palestinian city of Megiddo sat at an important crossroads between Egypt and Mesopotamia, and was the site of numerous military conflicts due to its strategic position. Armageddon is mentioned only once in the Bible in the Revelation to John, and is prophesied to be the final battlegrounds between the forces of evil and the forces of God. The term Armageddon has since taken a much broader use, meaning anything from nuclear apocalypse, to being used to dramatize and catastrophize ordinary scenarios.
