My
Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 16:13
Before
Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray,
something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and
they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear
His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but
most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were
doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do
not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of
you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you
heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes
many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to
sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled
with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your
time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you
and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the
rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you
need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions
for you.
Revelation

The Three Unclean
Spirits
(Parenthetical, Rev.
16:13-16)
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.
Rev
16:13
And
I saw...
This
is the 7th parenthetical passage.
It is inserted between the 6th and 7th vials and the events will be
fulfilled in the order given. It explains how the kings of the earth,
who are not under Antichrist, will be persuaded to cooperate with him
at Armageddon (Rev. 16:13-16). Unclean spirits will inspire
ambassadors and do miracles through them to convince the kings of the
earth that the success of their future lies in the whole earth
cooperating together to stop Christ from taking over the earth at His
second coming. They will inspire the nations to fight against Christ,
fulfilling Psm. 2:1-12. Just as Ahab was allured to battle and
destruction by demons in 2Ch. 18:18-22, so the nations will be led to
Armageddon by demons in the vain hope of defeating Christ (Rev.
16:13-16; 19:11-21).
come
out of...
This verse gives the source of the powers that will inspire men to
fight against Christ at Armageddon (Rev. 16:13-14).
of
the dragon... A common New Testament designation for demons (compare
Matt. 12:43; Mark 1:23; Luke 8:29). These are especially vile,
powerful and deceitful (verse 14). They are demons who support the
activities of Satan, the beast and the false prophet. By means of
miracles, they will convince the eastern "kings" and all
the armies and kings of the earth and of the whole world to gather in
Israel to fight against the second coming of Christ (Rev. 19:19).
This is Satan's final attempt to prevent Christ's return.
Do
you remember the Egyptian plague of the frogs? Even then, the frogs
were associated with the devil.
We
do know that even now there are very bad deceiving spirits in the
church. God says that if the time were not shortened even the very
elect could be deceived (Matt. 24:22). These "three unclean
spirits" represent the devil, the world, and the flesh. The
"dragon" represents the devil, the world is represented by
the deceit through the flesh which represents the "false
prophet". I touched on it before, but it is really easy to see
the flesh creeping into many of even the Spirit-filled churches
today.
These
unclean spirits will no doubt perform supernatural signs as part of
their deception. Undoubtedly, they will work lying wonders to deceive
the eastern kings, seducing them to make the difficult journey to
their doom at Armageddon.
The
“un-holy trinity”, composed of Satan (the dragon; see 12:3; the
Antichrist (the beast; see 11:7), and Antichrist’s associate (the
false prophet; see13:11), spew out this plague.
Like
frogs, This figure further emphasizes their vileness (compare Lev.
10:11, 41). Frogs were unclean animals according to Old Testament
dietary laws (Lev. 11:10-11, 41). Persian mythology viewed them as
plague-inducing creatures. The demons are thus described as slimy,
cold-blooded, loathsome beings.
John
was then given a symbolic and comprehensive view of the preparation
for the final bowl of God’s wrath. He saw three evil spirits that
looked like frogs coming out of the mouths of Satan (the dragon) and
the two beasts (Antichrist [Rev. 13:1-10] and the false prophet [Rev.
13:11-18]).
This
parenthetical passage is inserted between the sixth and seventh
vials and has its fulfillment in the part of the Week in which it is
given.This tells how the kings of the earth, who are not under the
control of the Antichrist and who do not form a part of his kingdom,
will be gathered to the Battle of Armageddon. These three unclean
spirits will have shapes like frogs and come out of the mouths of the
dragon, beast, and false prophet. They are to be demon spirits who
will go forth working miracles, inspiring the nations, and mobilizing
them into vast armies which will march from all directions and from
all countries for the purpose of preventing the establishment of the
kingdom of Christ upon the earth.
