They called the kings together at the place, called in Hebrew, Armageddon. The seventh angel emptied his bowl into the air, and a voice shouted from the sanctuary, The end has come. Then there were flashes of lightning and peals of thunder and the most violent earthquake that anyone has ever seen since there have been men on the earth.Revelation 16:16-18The world war, which has raged across Europe, North Africa and the Ottoman Empire for four years, is finally drawing to a close. General Edmund H. H. Allenby - broad-shouldered, square-jawed man possessed of great physical strength, an explosive general - marches his army north past Megiddo, the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. The goal: the town of Haifa in the north of Palestine.In Haifa the small and terrified Baháí community gathers in the house of Abdul-Bahá, the head of the Baháí Faith. Abdul-Baha calms the excited Baháís and calls them to prayer. He assures them that all will be well. But His own life has been threatened by the Ottoman leader, Djemal Pasha.Here is the intriguing story of a battle foretold in the Hebrew Bible that linked the lives of two men who shaped history in very different ways. Published to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Armageddon.
