, E What tremendous struggles have been waged in the valley of lVlegiddo by the Egyptians, Syrians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Romans, and even Napolean Bonaparte. The most recent battle fought at this crossroads was the victory of General Allenby and the British over the Turks in 1914. But, of course, Armageddon is of greatest interest to the Christian because of what is going to take place there in the future. The war to end all wars will be fought on this ancient battlefield when the King of Kings comes down from Heaven to destroy the armies of the antichrist in the climatic battle of the campaign of Armageddon lRevelation 19l.

But, of course, there were pictures to be taken of lVlary's well, the Baptist day school, and Joseph's carpenter shop. Then on to the Jordon River where two of the more illustrious members of the troop half-drowned each other and had to drip-dry for the rest of the day!

The ancient synagogue and ruins still stand intact. , , , ,ee t ,,ttt, at eww M , xg g ., ,.., ., . 4. rpm, Q ,
