Hence, the place of Har–Magedon, or Armageddon, is not a local battlefield, as was Kurukshetra. For this reason the name Armageddon takes on a figurative meaning, denoting not a literal place but the realm wherein human politicians collectively collide with the holy interests of God, whose name is Jehovah.—Psalm 83:18, Holy Bible.
From Kurukshetra to Armageddon—and Your Survival. 1983. p. 6
Armageddon will be fought for the cause of truth and justice. An ancient pre-Christian song of God assures us of this by saying of God’s chief warrior: “In your splendor go on to success; ride in the cause of truth and humility and righteousness, and your right hand will instruct you in fear-inspiring things.” (Psalm 45:4) As in the war of Kurukshetra, there will be wholesale slaughter. Of the “battlefield” after the war of Armageddon the Bible says:
From Kurukshetra to Armageddon—and Your Survival. 1983. p. 6, 7
The survivors of Armageddon’s war will be righteous persons, adjudged by our Creator as worthy to preserve our human race alive.
From Kurukshetra to Armageddon—and Your Survival. 1983. p. 7
Clearly, then, Armageddon will be a fight, not merely among men, not a mere “world war,” but a war in which God’s invisible armies take part.

Section heading: THE TIME FOR ARMAGEDDON
From Kurukshetra to Armageddon—and Your Survival. 1983. p. 9
When is God’s war of Armageddon to occur?
From Kurukshetra to Armageddon—and Your Survival. 1983. p. 9
Rather, it is the irreversible acceleration toward the collapse of the present human order that is the overriding reason for God to trigger the outbreak of his Armageddon war!
From Kurukshetra to Armageddon—and Your Survival. 1983. p. 10, 11
More importantly, such conditions are rampant in our time and mark these as the “last days” of the present wicked system of things. They are the sign of the nearness of Armageddon.
From Kurukshetra to Armageddon—and Your Survival. 1983. p. 12
How does one know Armageddon will be fought within our own lifetime, so that one can survive, if worthy?
From Kurukshetra to Armageddon—and Your Survival. 1983. p. 12
In other words, that 1914 generation of people, now ‘dwindling in ranks,’ who saw the beginning of these distressing conditions, will still be alive when God’s war of Armageddon strikes. The duration of the “last days” is therefore limited to within the one human generation that was alive back in 1914. That generation of eyewitnesses is getting along in years now—in their 70’s and 80’s. Hence, the outbreak of Armageddon is getting dangerously near. Many lovers of righteousness throughout the world are now preparing for the outbreak of God’s unavoidable act of war.

So the circumstances relating to the end of our world order at Armageddon will be similar to those associated with the ancient Deluge. They will be: (1) The planet Earth and its animal life will survive; (2) the significance of our times is missed by most people through preoccupation with the normal processes of life; (3) the majority of mankind take no note of the divine warning of Armageddon; (4) hence the majority of mankind will be destroyed at Armageddon; and (5) only a small minority of mankind will find favour with God and survive the “war of the great day of God the Almighty.” (Revelation 16:14)
From Kurukshetra to Armageddon—and Your Survival. 1983. p. 18, 19
Plainly, Armageddon is Jehovah’s war. Hence the survivors of Armageddon will be those who meekly inform themselves of Jehovah and his righteousness.
From Kurukshetra to Armageddon—and Your Survival. 1983. p. 19, 20
Jehovah, the God of heaven and earth, is the One who will also bring an end to this wicked yuga by means of the great war of Armageddon. All of those who truly know Jehovah God and who are devotedly involved with Jehovah’s Name and extraordinary Personality will survive Armageddon into the cleansed earth afterward.
From Kurukshetra to Armageddon—and Your Survival. 1983. p. 23
This is why the warning message of Armageddon’s war, and the good news of possible survival, is being preached earth wide by Jehovah’s Witnesses today. Hence, as a part of the sign of Armageddon’s imminence, a worldwide preaching work was foretold to occur immediately prior to the end of this yuga.

But are these promises of a post-Armageddon world trustworthy? How can we be certain that Armageddon is not a myth? Because the ancient deluge was not a myth. Man is no myth.
From Kurukshetra to Armageddon—and Your Survival. 1983. p. 28
