However, Professor Meyer said it is impossible to predict when the Rapture will happen and how long it will be between the Rapture and the start of the Tribulation.
But John the Apostle, who penned the Bible’s Book of Revelation, predicts the battle will precede Jesus Christ’s 1,000-year reign on Earth.
John wrote the battle will take place in a location called Armageddon or Har-Mageddon in Hebrew.
Professor Meyer said: “Har-Mageddon is a place. Even though the Book of Revelation was written in Koine or ‘common’ Greek, John states in Revelation 16:16 that the original word and meaning for Har-Mageddon is in Hebrew.
“This shows us that it is the Hebrew form that counts in this context, not Greek, not English, nor any other language.”
