Same event? Or different?

[Gabbylittleangel]

Rev 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Feel free to explain why or why not, and please use Scripture to support your belief.

Different event. One is in heaven; one on earth. Also, some translations will say "he" in 16:16, some will say "they".

NKJV - -13- And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
-14- For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
-15- "Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame."
-16- And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.

YLT - 16 and they did bring them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon.

Plus, cross reference this to Rev 9:11:

YLT - 11 and they have over them a king -- the messenger of the abyss -- a name [is] to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon.

The kicker here is still the fact that John is in heaven in Rev 7:14.
