Re: "So my questions for the Jewish members are as follows:
Do you believe that this battle will occur?
Is this prophecy described in any Hebrew text?
Does Jesus Christ play any kind of role in the future for Jews?
More questions to come in the future. Thank you so much for your response!

-Most definitely the Battle will take place exactly as prophecized:
In Hebrew the word for Armageddon is Meggido; referring to The Plain of Meggido in north central Israel.
Jesus reiterated the Scriptures and Prophetic teachings of the Jews verbatim:
In actual fact, there are only a few teachings and statements attributed to Jesus which were not reiteration of the central teachings and prophecies of the Jewish People.
However, where Jesus did diverge from Torah Law was so drastically different as to be unacceptable to anyone following Torah Law.
Jews then, as today, were awaiting the Messiah (Moshiach), an annointed human being...not the incarnation of God in the form of a man who could then be worshipped in place of the One Indivisible G-d of Israel.
Jesus never himself worshipped statues or bowed down to worship a man, because he was a Jew also, and one is not a Jew who worships flesh and blood or wood and stone.
And, to quote Jesus: "Not one dot or tittle will be changed in the Law"
-In my personal opinion, we are now in "The End of Days", entering into "The Time of Jacob's Trouble", and the War of Gog M'Gog is in its beginning stages.
-Jewish Prophecy is precise and clear that the Jews emerge the victors of this war, saved by our Moshiach (Messiah), who at the last moment appears to Redeem Israel and all of mankind.
-If Jesus is to play a role for the Jews, then (a) The Christians and Jews both are undoubtedly in for quite a shock; and both are going to have "a lot of explaining to do".
-The now in progress volatile and changing geological and planetary processes which we are now witnessing are proof positive according to the Prophets that the End of Days is upon us. It has been stated that the entire Earth will be in travail like a woman in childbirth as the Moshiach approaches to usher in Redemption.
-The Biblical Law and Prophets are quite clear that Jerusalem is today, as it always has been, the sole indivisible capitol of the Jewish Nation and the site of the coming Third Temple...the Arabs who call themselves PLO/Hamas are interlopers and savages who are to have no part in owning any of the Holy Land...it is Jewish Land and Holy Land and does not now nor ever will belong to them.
-And, as prophecized, all of the nations of the world are gathered against Jerusalem today, and Jerusalem is to be the millstone around the neck of each nation which dares to reject G-d's RoadMap and Plan for the Jewish People.
-As to the Book of St. John the Revelator, much of Jewish thought and imagery is incorporated into it, but it is such a radically esoteric text that it often is found to be as unfathomable to Christians as it is to Jews.
