Question
What is armageddon and the day of reckoning? Are they mentioned anywhere in the bible besides Revelation 16:16?

Answer
Armeggedon is a place, a plain in northern Israel, where the kings of the world gather, after Christ returns, to try to destroy Him and his followers. It is not a war, because God does not allow a war to occur. God just destroys them.

[Revelation]
{19:21} And the others were slain by the sword that proceeds from the mouth of him who was sitting upon the horse. And all the birds were sated with their flesh.

I don't know if it is mentioned anywhere else.
I don't know what the 'day of reckoning' refers to.
