The differences of those phrases

Is there a difference between "the last days," "the end of days," "the end of time," "the end of the world," "the abomination of desolation," "the great tribulation period," "the apocalypse," and "armageddon?" What are these each? What makes them different from one another to why you see people use those phrasings? Anyone got any insight to explain them each? Then speak on them all if so.

Well, armageddon isn't like the rest of those phrases. Armageddon is just the place where the final battle between Christ and the Anti-Christ is supposed to take place. It's a physical location in Israel. "Armageddon" means "Mountain of Megiddo" in Hebrew. Saying Armageddon is coming! Is like saying Mt. Everest is coming! Mt. Everest is coming!

Not so strange if the "end of the world" includes the pole shift.. Mt. Everest would be coming here if the tilt changed enough...

A pole shift is not the same as if Earth should flip or roll to another angel.

A pole shift is when the Magnetic current from S to N change direction.

Let's sit down for a milkshake/smoothie/frosty/frappuchino/slurpee and discuss it sometime!

I love linguistics! Did each of these come from different places and different time periods? I'm sure I recognize some from the Bible (yuck).

I'm curious WHY you want to know =)

I think Armegeddon comes from Har Megido, or something, which is a Middle Eastern location where a final battle was fought/will be fought. Sorry I don't know precisely on that.

Becuase knowing is half the battle. That's why.
