Middle of the “Middle East” as it once was
known is neither Cairo nor Memphis, Egypt,
and those gates of Babylon in the Fertile
Crescent do not guard the spot, either. We must
look, instead, nearer
to the Middle Sea, where all armies, marching,
must turn left or right at a corner west and
just a few miles south of the Golan Heights called
Megiddo, that is,
Armageddon where all the nations, past and
future meet to suffer defeat or win a
war which always promises, like their battle,
to be the last, but isn’t.
