Today we began our study of the third Frog Spirit, which is the Spirit of Rebellion.
Topic
Prophecy Scripture: Revelation 16:12-14
· 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.
The
Counterfeit Team:
The three frog spirits are the upside down version of the structure of Heaven’s Team…
So, the dragon is working to unseat/replace Yahweh…
The Beast is the Anti-messiah, attacking the Work, Ministry and Person of Yahshua as Messiah…
The False Prophet is the false forerunner who prepares the way for the Beast, counterfeiting the Work of the Malachi 4 prophet (because true Messiah has a prophet who serves as His forerunner).
To understand the False Prophet and its associated frog-spirit, we first need to understand the true, since the false is the counterfeit of the true:
The True
Prophet of Yahweh:
The True
Prophet, Who is the real forerunner of Messiah was John, literally (as “Elijah”)… But it is also a prophecy that is fulfilled
by all the people of God, who give the Elijah Message. It has a literal and
figurative fulfillment.
· Malachi 4:4-6
“Remember ye the Law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto
him in Horeb for all Israel, with the Statutes and Judgments. Behold,
I will send YOU Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful
day of Yahweh: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the
children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite
the earth with a curse.”
The Message of the True Prophet is:
· “Remember (obey, keep) Torah”
· Exposing sin… “How long halt ye between two opinions? If
Yahweh be God, follow Him! If Ba’al is god, then follow him!”
· The work of the Prophet is the turn
the hearts of the people back to what their spiritual forefathers loved and
embraced – restoring the Old Paths (Jeremiah 6:16).
o
John 8:39
– “If you were Abraham’s Seed (partakers of the Covenant) you would do the
works of Abraham” – John 8:39
o
Genesis 26:5
“Because that Abraham obeyed My Voice, and kept My Charge, My Commandments, My Statutes,
and My Laws (Torah).”
In the past, the literal Prophet - who served as the forerunner - was: Elijah and then John…
· Elijah was the forerunner for Elisha… Elisha was a shadow-picture of Messiah, having
a double portion of the Spirit that had been on Elijah. The Prophet prepares
the way for the one who is greater than he.
· John was the forerunner for Yahshua… Yahshua was the “greater” One… John’s work
was the prepare the people to receive Messiah.
The Final Elijah – the Prophet on Yahweh’s Side,
will be both literal and figurative.
· There will be a Prophet – literally Elijah?
(or like John who was a person giving the Message and fulfilling the role of
Elijah)…
· There is also a figurative prophet role, in that every Child of Yahweh is called to serve Him as forerunner, preparing the Way for Messiah’s Return.
The Frog
Associated with the False Prophet is the Spirit of Rebellion
· The
spirit of rebellion manifests in rejecting Yahweh’s Word and Law
· 1 Samuel 15:23 “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,
and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected
the Word of Yahweh...”
· 1 Samuel 12:14 “…Fear Yahweh, and serve Him, and obey His Voice, and (do)
not rebel against the Commandment of Yahweh…”
· Daniel 9:5
”We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done
wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from Thy
Precepts and from Thy Judgments.”
