Today we continued studying the first of the 3 Frog Spirits of Revelation 16. Continuing our study of the second frog spirit, which is the spirit of antichrist, in order to understand the work of this spirit, we must study the Branch prophecies - and their fulfillment in Yahshua.
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.”
Identity of the Frog Ruling Spirit #2: spirit of antichrist.
· The second frog spirit comes out of the mouth of the beast. So this spirit assists the beast with its demonic goals. To understand this frog spirit's identity and work, we need to know the Messianic prophecies, also known as the Branch prophecies in Scripture - and how Messiah fulfilled them.
Suggestion – memorize the Branch Prophecies and Yahshua’s fulfillment Scriptures.
The Branch Prophecies: 5x in Scripture the word BRANCH appears, translated from the Hebrew Tsemach. Why they are so important?
· They portray the 5-fold ministry of Messiah (aka Christ)
· these are critically important because they prove Yahshua’s Messiahship
· The Branch IS Messiah
Demonstration of how important the Branch Prophecies are:
The Branch prophecy roles of Messiah are the center of the Throne of God,
The Branch prophecy roles of Messiah is also the central theme of the Mazzaroth:
THE BULL – represents Yahshua as the BRANCH Who is the STRENGTH of Heaven (He is the I AM – Aleph manifested for our Salvation) – the SERVANT
· THE BULL BRANCH PROPHECY - Zechariah 3:8 – “Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth My SERVANT the BRANCH.”
· The bull does his master’s work of plowing, grinding the grain, while harnessed in a yoke. Messiah said that His Yoke is easy and His burden is light (Matthew 11:29).
· GOSPEL WHICH SHOWS YAHSHUA'S FULFILLMENT OF THE BULL BRANCH PROPHECY - The Gospel of Mark is written to demonstrate Yahshua’s Servanthood.
o Mark 10:45 (ESV) – “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His Life as a ransom for many.”
o Romans 6:16 – Yahshua’s Servanthood demonstrates obedience unto Righteousness.
o Terms are found throughout Mark to demonstrate good servantship, like “straightway” (because a good servant obeys quickly)
THE LION – represents Yahshua as the BRANCH Who is the KING of kings
· THE LION BRANCH PROPHECY - Jeremiah 23:5 “Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.”
· Messiah would be king out of the lineage of David.
· GOSPEL WHICH SHOWS YAHSHUA'S FULFILLMENT OF THE LION BRANCH PROPHECY - The Gospel of Matthew is written to demonstrate Yahshua’s Kingship from the line of David. (Matthew speaks of the Kingdom, because a King has a Kingdom… He breaks down the Rules of the Kingdom, because He has the Authority to do so, since He is the King)
o Matthew 5:19-20 “Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least Commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.”
o Matthew chapter 1 – demonstrates Yahshua’s lineage of kingship coming through the line of David.
