Three Unclean Spirits like Frogs

Revelation 16:
12: And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13: And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14: For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto 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 come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16: And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

They are the spirits of devils (all three are the spirits of deception). Satan, the anti-Christ and the False Prophet all have an unclean spirit of deception. Their greatest weapon is to lie and deceive. Spirits of devils live inside of men. This is where these spirits will go. They will possess or rule three men who will act as ambassadors to the anti-Christ and his regime. These spirits are able to take people captive at their will if a person is not born again. An unclean spirit cannot dwell in the same house with the Lord. These unclean spirits are a belief that possesses the hearts and minds of these people. Just as the spirit of anti-Christ has been in the world for many centuries. It is this type of thing. The anti-Christ dreams of world conquest, it is possible that he will share this dream with these other nations and make many promises to them for their support.

They are frog-like spirits. This is something that I believe that John saw that described the way they acted. Some believe that they were frog like because they were unclean, believing that frogs are unclean. However I believe John saw their activity and it reminded him of a frog. Back in Biblical time's ambassadors traveled by land or by sea, but today ambassadors have the opportunity to travel by air. And I believe that this is what John saw. I believe he saw these ambassadors traveling by air from one country to another, which would appear to be hopping like frogs from one country to another. An ambassador's job is to talk when he gets there and then he hops to another country. In this view it would appear that they would hop to a country like a frog would and then croak and then do it again and again until they accomplished their mission.

They work miracles. It will be their job to convince these nations to help. The miracles in this job will be the success that they have convincing other nations to come to their aid. Some believe that it will be Jesus like miracles. But you must realize how the Muslim people in that part of the world view a miracle. Any kind of success in their endeavor is considered to be a miracle. For example when the Twin Towers were destroyed by terrorist, millions of Muslims considered it to be a miracle from Allah. Their success in bringing nations down to the River Euphrates to support the armies of the anti-Christ will be considered miracles from Allah.

They go to the kings of the earth and the whole world. Since they must do this, the questions a person must ask are these: Why does the anti-Christ need re-enforcement from other countries and why does he have to re-invade Israel? Most teachers today teach that the anti-Christ will rule the world and force everyone to take the mark of the beast. These scriptures absolutely prove that the anti-Christ will not take over the whole world. If he were in control of all nations he wouldn't have any to make war against. If all the nations were on his side he would not be forced to seek their help. He will use these ambassadors who are possessed with these evil views and deceptions in order to accomplish his purpose. They are successful and re-enforcement comes to his aid. But, why is he not in Israel? Remember he invades Israel at the middle of the Tribulation and Israel escapes. These events are happening right at the end of the Tribulation. The reason he isn't in Israel is because him and his armies were forced out of Israel by Israel's allies sometime during the last 3 and 1/2 years of the Tribulation. He has been driven back to the River Euphrates and has made a stand there. After getting help from the nations that are deceived by the frog like spirits or ambassadors, The anti-Christ and his armies will force the allies all the way back to Jerusalem re-capturing half of the city in the process. They will kill and rape in that part of the city that they capture.
Zechariah 14: 2: For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
This is acceptable in the Muslim religion to do this. At that time they will also kill the two witnesses that oppose them. These witnesses will lie in the streets for 3 1/2 days and will be resurrected right before Armageddon along with the Church.

These ambassadors will play a major role in gathering the wicked nations to Megiddo for the final battle. The scriptures call this battle "Armageddon". God tells us that at that time he will destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. But it is his plan and purpose to bring them down so that he can bring them into judgement all at the same time. He uses these wicked men to fulfill his will in persuading the enemies of God to come down against the mountains of Israel. When a person understands the book of Revelation they realize that the trumpets and vials of wrath are one and the same. They are simply viewed from different perspectives. The Sixth trumpet is the same event as the Sixth vial of wrath. When we read this we get a little better picture.

Revelation 9: 14: Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15: And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16: And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

In the scriptures above we see that four angels are released from the same location as the three unclean spirits. This location is the River Euphrates. The river is dried up so that re-enforcement can come and cross the river without any problem. A third part of men will be killed at the battle of Armageddon. This is not a third part of man-kind but is specifically talking about the nations from that part of the world that participate in this invasion of Israel. There will be many nations that will not participate in this.

However there will be an event that will occur after the two witnesses lay dead in the streets of Jerusalem for 3 1/2 days that will bring death to millions on this earth. At this time the rapture of the Church will occur that will cause an earthquake that will shake the earth. This will be the largest earthquake ever recorded in the history of this earth. It will shake the earth out of its place, or orbit, and God himself will have to place it back in order to keep things together. Islands will vanish into the sea, mountains will crumble into plains because of the force of this earthquake. This all happens as graves are being opened by the power of God all over the world as he calls his children home. This will be followed by the final battle at which time Jesus will take control of this earth.

The three unclean spirits like frogs will play their role in fulfilling Bible Prophecy as God said things would happen. Some vessels are for honor while others are for dishonor. They are vessels of dishonor however God uses them to accomplish his will.

Zechariah 14: 3: Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

Yours in Christ,
