Why? What is the Hebrew word or expression for "narrow pass"? Is it phonetically similar to "meggido?"

Write in google "meggido narrow pass" and you will see results - importance of Meggido is that it guarded the narrow pass that was of strategical value. Meggido was important for Israle because it was simbol and a similarity for narrow pass - not as a actual word but as their historical startegical point, so it did had signifucance of a narrow pass...

I agree that given that the Revelation was written in Greek, any explanation is purely speculative - yes, that includes your explanation. However, there is little doubt that "har" refers to "Mount."

But, if you want to convince me, you really need to show me that Megiddo means "between."

Your argument, as I understand it, goes like this:

If:
A. Megiddo is mentioned in the Bible (11 times).
B. The site of Megiddo, as located by modern scholars, happens to have a narrow pass nearby.
C. The writer of Revelation 16:16 described the place of the final battle as "Armageddon."

Then:
The place of the final battle does not refer to a place actually called Armageddon, but rather describes a random place which name refers to a random feature that is possessed by the site of Megiddo.

Can you see the problem in your logical thinking there?

The A, B, C clauses are certainly true: Megiddo is a location mentioned in the Bible (although never in context of a narrow passage), the site as identified by archaeologists does include a narrow pass (which is a very common feature for defensive sites), and the Revelation does talk about the place being called Armageddon.

But from these true clauses to your conclusion, there are a lot of far fetched assumptions and speculations. There are millions of fortresses guarding a narrow pass all over the world - it's called building in a strategic location. The narrow pass might be nearby, and also a source of water should be nearby, and also an ancient road should be somewhere in the area - these are all common characteristics of fortresses. In other words, the presence of a narrow pass is not a differentiating feature of Mount Maggido.

Anyway i didnt come here to argue, in my book i will write first and foremost about the greatness of Gods Mercy, and how it is revealed to Saint Faustina Kowalska that this mercy is so great that only those who willingly wanna go to hell are condemned.

We are Baptists, so we don't really care what some kind of a schizophrenic lunatic (what you call a "saint") was mindlessly babbling about. We prefer to trust the Holy Bible, and the Holy Bible clearly says that everyone who died without accepting Jesus as his/her Savior goes to Hell:

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

I hope this was helpful. Yes, that means that babies who died in their infancy are also condemned to Hell. The same goes for heathens who lived their whole lives and died without ever hearing about Jesus (such as the Indians in the Americas before Columbus).

Please stop trusting that crazy Faustyna person. She clearly has never read the Bible, which means she will be burning in Hell for eternity.
