14. Sounds as if some brainwashed and not-too-bright fundamentalist

has been talking to you.

Ur is an archaeological site in Iraq, reputed to be the hometown of Abraham.

Armeggedon is the Greek form of Har Meggido, which is a place name in Israel. It's nowhere near Iraq.

Most reputable Biblical scholars believe that Revelation was an allegory written during the Roman persecutions of Christians, intended to encourage them by saying that the Romans would get theirs eventually.
