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.”
What is the
significance of these three frog spirits coming out the mouths of the dragon,
the beast, and the false prophet? Each of these three entities has a role to
play in advancing the kingdom of hell…
They are allied, but not identical. We need to study the three entities
out of which the frog spirits come, in order to more understand the prophecy.
The
Dragon: Satan
himself, Revelation 20:2
· Revelation 12:9 “And
the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels
were cast out with him.”
· Isaiah 14:12-15 “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.”
· Goals of the Dragon, according to Scripture:
o
Deceive
the whole world
o
Weaken the nations (mental, physical, moral, spiritual, emotional weakening)
§ Galatians 6:8 - “For he that soweth
to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the
Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”
§ The nations are weakened by “sowing
to the flesh” – the works of flesh produce corruption
§ WEAKENING THE NATIONS IS ACCOMPLISHED
THROUGH MORAL CORRUPTION
o
Ascend
into Heaven (taking the place of Yahweh)
o
Exalt
his throne above the stars of God (Mazzaroth replaced with astrology;
magnifying himself as the ruler over Yahweh)
o
Satan
wants to “sit” (dominate, rule over) the Mount of the Congregation
§ Har Maggedo…
Armageddon… final battle lines are drawn on the point of
worship… The Mo’ed
Mountain (of the Congregation, mikraw means “gather, congregate, rehearsal”)
is the Feast Days and Holy Days of worship, which are replaced by the enemy.
o
Satan
plans to ascend above the heights of the clouds (controlling media, the cloud,
the breath [spirit] upon the people)
o
Satan
plans to be God.
The Frog
Spirit which comes out of the mouth of the Dragon the the God of this world...
· The first frog spirit brings blindness - It is only possible to weaken people and nations if
they are blind and cannot see the Truth.
o
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 “But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are
lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who
is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
· The first spirit works to prevent conversion/salvation – the catalyst in conversion is Torah
(so we should expect to see demonic entities causing people to not live by
Torah)
o
John 12:40 “He
hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not
see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and
be converted, and I should heal them.”
· A rejection of Yahweh as Creator is a big part of this frog spirit’s
work. Thus we see
that this GOD OF THIS WORLD frog spirit accomplishes moral and spiritual
corruption through blinding people into rejection of Yahweh as Creator and a
belief in evolution.
o The connection between the rejection of Yahweh as Creator and moral corruption is clearly shown in Romans chapter 1 (Romans 1:20-28)
