Armageddon

The word that we call Armageddon was actually pronounced Har Mageddon in Greek (the H is often overlooked by translators, because it isn’t a letter, it’s indicated by an inverted apostrophe ‘). Har is a Hebrew word that means mountain, while Mageddon comes from the Hebrew word Megiddo, which refers (appropriately) to a gathering place (for troops). So, the entire word means (and can be translated as) the mountain of the gathering place. http://www.2001translation.com/Armageddon.htm
