Three Unclean Spirits Like Frogs Revelation 16:13

As John continued to share concerning the events during the tribulation, He wrote about the antichrist, the false prophet and the angels who were involved in the reaping of the harvest of believers who received the Lord Jesus during that time. John wrote about the first, second, third and fourth angel and what happened when they poured out their “vials”, and he continued by writing, “And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain. And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. 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 in chapter sixteen and verse thirteen of Revelation John shared how he “saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon” where we read:

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.

The verse reads, “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, ...” John began with the words, “and I saw” which means “and John perceived, noticed, discerned and discovered” “three unclean spirits” or “three not cleansed, impure, morally lewd, demonic and foul demons” “like frogs” which means “similar looking to frogs” “come out” or “proceed from and away” “of the mouth” which means “of the orifice in the face used for eating, drinking and speech” “of the dragon” which refers to “pertaining to the great serpent which is a name for Satan”. John watched as “three” demons that appeared like “frogs” proceeded from the “mouth” of Satan.

The verse goes on to say, “and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.” John added the words, “and out of the mouth” which means “from the orifice in the face used for eating, drinking and speaking” “of the beast” or “the wild and ferocious being which represents the antichrist”, “and out of the mouth” which means “and from the orifice in the face used for eating, drinking and speaking” “of the false prophet” which refers to “the second living creature mentioned in Revelation chapter thirteen who was the spokesman for the antichrist”. These demons also came from the “mouths” of the “antichrist” and his “false prophet”.

When we meditate upon John's words in this verse, we can imagine what a scene this was in the spiritual world as he watched “three” frog-like “demons” come from “Satan, the antichrist and the false prophet”. No doubt these “demons” are powerful and were employed for a specific purpose. God has control over all these “spiritual beings”, and though they will go about their business for a certain time according to God's plan, they shall not overcome the person who has a personal relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. “Satan, the antichrist, the false prophets” and even these “three frog-like demons” shall not have dominion over those who have yielded their lives to Jesus, therefore may all who read these words submit themselves to Jesus today.

Next time John shares how the “unclean spirits like frogs”, “are the spirits of devils, working miracles”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
