Today we continued studying the 3 Frog Spirits of Revelation 16.
Here are a few highlights from our study today:
Topic Prophecy Scripture:
Revelation 16:12-14 “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. 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. 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.”
Elements of the Prophecy:
· Timing of the Prophecy: the frog spirits manifest most epically during the 7 vials.
o “And the sixth angel poured out his vial…”
· What are the frogs? The frogs are demonic entities, or spirits, or demons
o “They are the spirits of devils”
· Where they come from is important: 1 comes from the dragon’s mouth, 1 comes from the beast’s mouth, and 1 comes from the false prophet’s mouth.
o “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.”
· What do the frog spirits do? They go unto (into) the global political leaders, possessing world governments.
o “…(they) go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world…”
o They unite the world in rebellion against Yahweh.
Tongues, in the Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew
word lashon, Strong’s Concordance number H3956, which means “the tongue of a
man or animal, and figuratively indicates speech”.
· Tongues
means speech – languages: Genesis 10:20 “These are the sons of Ham, after their
families, after their tongues (H3956)”
· Ancient
Hebrew Dictionary (by Jeff Benner): “The organ of the mouth used in eating and
speaking. Also language.”
· What
kind of speech does the kingdom of hell use to catch its prey (since frogs
catch their prey with their tongues)? The deceptive speech of hell that will
destroy many is called “the doctrines of devils”
o
1 Timothy 4:1
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart
from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.”
o
Matthew 24:24
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great
signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect.”
§ This
indicates that the level or magnitude of the deception will be so high that it
is “off the charts”.
o
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan
himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing
if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose
end shall be according to their works.”
WHY ARE THE
SPIRITS SO SUCCESSFUL IN DECEIVING – THEY APPEAR RIGHTEOUS!
How to be
protected from demonic lies – and the frog spirits:
· Be Good Watchmen (see, study, obey, stay awake)
o
1
Peter 5:8-9 - “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom
resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are
accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”
·
Spiritual maturity – which means we need to be weaned from the milk of the Word and eating
– living by – understanding – the meat (Torah and Prophecy)… Be rooted and
grounded in Truth!
