Armageddon

(Christianity, Islam) Mount Megiddo, the site of a prophesied final battle between the forces of good and evil.
- 1941 October, F. S. Bond, “The Railways of China”, in Railway Magazine, page 440:
  And so, unfortunately, this great and spreading network of railways, that recently showed such promise as a major instrument in the modern development of China, must be left for the time being in the melting-pot of Armageddon.
(by extension) The battle itself.
(by extension) Any end of the world, especially by way of a cataclysmic battle or something analogous to one.
- 1996, “Ænema”, performed by Tool:
  Some say the end is near
  Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
  I certainly hope we will
  I sure could use a vacation from this ...
