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
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.”
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 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 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.”
LION – represents Yahshua as the BRANCH Who is the KING of kings
· 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.
· THE EAGLE BRANCH PROPHECY - Jeremiah 33:15
“In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to
grow up unto David; and He shall execute judgment and righteousness in
the land.”
Eagle – represents Yahshua as the BRANCH Who is the JUDGE of all (eagles have amazing sight, which is required for righteous Judgment). Eagle’s also represent swiftness and deliverance.
· Messiah will be the One to Judge the
world
· GOSPEL WHICH SHOWS YAHSHUA'S FULFILLMENT OF THE EAGLE BRANCH PROPHECY - The Gospel of Revelation is written to demonstrate Yahshua’s Role as the Judge.
o John_5:22 & 27 “For the Father Judgeth no man, but hath committed all Judgment unto the Son: And hath given Him authority to execute Judgment also, because he is the Son of man.”
o Revelation 14:6-7 “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the Everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His Judgment is come: and worship Him that made Heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”
· THE MAN BRANCH PROPHECY - Zechariah 6:12 “And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD.”
· Man – represents Yahshua as the BRANCH Who is the TEMPLE BUILDER (of Yahweh’s Temple).
Messiah would build the Temple of Yahweh, in His Role as Man.
· GOSPEL WHICH SHOWS YAHSHUA'S FULFILLMENT OF THE MAN BRANCH PROPHECY - The Gospel of Luke is focused on showing Yahshua as the Man.
o
Luke shows us why Messiah could take
our place, as the Second Adam, because He was a sinless Man.
o
Luke shows us that the obedient Life
of Messiah is our Example… He – a Man –
walked in full obedience to Yahweh’s Torah, as we can also through the power of
God. Just as He was obedient and lived Life through the Power of Heaven, so may
we.
· How does the Spirit of Antichrist
attack Yahshua’s Fulfillment of the Son of Man Branch Prophecy?
o
The Spirit of Antichrist is behind
the teaching (or doctrine) that Yahshua didn’t build the Temple of Yahweh, and
thus did not fulfill Zechariah 6:12.
o
Antichrist is the one who is going
to build a literal temple –
§
o
Yahshua did build the Temple of
Yahweh!
§
1 Peter 2:5
“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a Spiritual House (Temple), an holy
priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Yahshua
Christ.”
§ 1 Corinthians 3:16 “Know ye not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
§
Hebrews 9:11-12
- “But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that
have come, He entered the greater and more perfect Tabernacle not made by
hands (that is, not of this creation). He did not enter by
the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all
by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption.”
§ Ephesians 2:19-22 - “…You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with Yahweh’s people and also members of His household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Yahshua Himself as the chief cornerstone. In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy Temple in Yahweh. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit.”
· THE LAMB BRANCH PROPHECY - Isaiah 4:2-4 “In that day shall the Branch of Yahweh be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: When Yahweh shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged (in) the Blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.”
Lamb – represents Yahshua as the BRANCH Who is the PASSOVER LAMB, THE WORTHY LAMB OF YAHWEH WHO TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.
· GOSPEL WHICH SHOWS YAHSHUA'S FULFILLMENT OF THE LAMB BRANCH PROPHECY - The Gospel of John was written to demonstrate Yahshua’s fulfillment of the Lamb Branch prophecy
o
John_1:29
“The next day John seeth Yahshua coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of
God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
o
John_1:36
“And looking upon Yahshua as He walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!”
· 1 Corinthians 5:7 - “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.”
