In Revelation 19, John briefly describes the battle of Armageddon. Noting the lack of detail, the rest of the prophets were consulted. Surprisingly, little is given on the subject by any of the prophets. What is given, however, shows the horrendous devastation. When Christ returns, it will be to stop mankind from destroying the planet. If left to the human race, no one would survive.
The outcome of this battle is a foregone conclusion. That is why the invitation to the birds precedes the actual battle itself. The mightiest armies the world has ever seen will become food for vultures. The strong, the confident, the healthiest specimens of humanity and the greatest of men will all be food for birds. There will be no one left to bury them. The birds and beasts will be summoned to cleanse the land from a potential mass of rotting flesh. Those who thought they were going to destroy Christ and his armies at his return in power and glory become food for lowly birds. Every year, in the autumn, the birds from Europe and Russia fly south into Africa for the winter. Those species living in Europe, for example, cannot fly across the waters of the Mediterranean. They fly around the shoreline, coming right across Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Israel. In the spring, they return to Europe and Russia - all points north over the same route. Some years ago, the Israeli Air Force became painfully aware that they had to share the skies with the fowls of Earth. Millions of birds fly through Israel every six months. It will be an easy task to bring enough birds to rid the Earth of those battlefield casualties.
