The Battle of Armageddon is a futuristic conflict portrayed in the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. It is based on the evangelical interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and occurs in Har Megiddo, Israel.

The battle begins when Global Community Supreme Potentate and Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia sends out for all the military hardware and armed forces of Earth and umbrellas them into the G.C. One World Unity Army. As prophesied, a global earthquake levels all islands and mountains, talent-sized hail falls, and the cross of Christ appears in the sky. Jesus himself returns, annihilates the Unity Army, and establishes his thousand-year kingdom.

The Global Community One World Unity Army is composed of the remaining military units from the 10 regions of the Global Community. Armed with the entire world arsenal of conventional weapons, and led by Nicolae himself, the Unity army's mission is to eradicate the last opposition to the GC. They are to destroy the Remnant stronghold at Petra and take Jerusalem as the new capital of the GC.
