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

Answer
Peace

dear Patrick
 Armageddon literal means Plain or Valley of the Mountain. Scholars debates its location. In the OT, there is place that means Mountain that gets its name from the same word source. I will try to look it up, if you want.
  The day of our death, is our personal day of reckoning/ judgment. Also on the last day of "time" that day is a day reckoning before the whole world.

Expertise

I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
