Well, you can put that one in the totally unbiblical category. There will be no “church” involved in the Battle of Armageddon.

More like the “totally unsubstantiated” category. I see no evidence that St. Benedict ever prophesied anything like that. Certainly there’s no contemporaneous written record of it.

The term "Battle of Armageddon" was used in the context above to denote the the period of tribulation also know as the "end times", "end of the age", "Armageddon", "End of the World", ..., and not a single event.

I think you already knew that.

So I hope you're not suggesting the "church" isn't involved in the tribulation?
