One of the most interesting and significant objects in the world is a simple shaft of granite which stands near the highway at Wilna, on the western boundary of Russia. It bears two inscriptions in the Russian language. On the side that faces westward are these words:

“Napoleon Bonaparte passed this way in 1812 with 410,000 men.”

On the side facing eastward is this:

“Napoleon Bonaparte passed this way in 1812 with 9,000 men.”

At the end of the Battle of Armageddon, however, there will be no survivors among Antichrist’s and the world’s armies.

And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. – Revelation 16:16
