Rev. 16:12-16 “And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might by made ready for the kings that come from the sunrising. And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs: for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.) And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-Magedon.”
“Frog” is batrachoi. The following is from Barnes' commentary: “This word does not occur in the New Testament except in the passage before us. It is properly translated frogs. The frog is here employed clearly as a symbol, and it is designed that certain qualities of the “spirits” here referred to should be designated by the symbol. For a full illustration of the meaning of the symbol, the reader may consult Bochart, Hieroz. P. II. lib. v. cap. 4. According to Bochart, the frog is characterized, as a symbol:
(1) for its rough, harsh, coarse voice;
(2) on this account, as a symbol of complaining or reproaching;
(3) as a symbol of empty loquacity;
(4) as a symbol of heretics and philosophers, as understood by Augustine;
(5) because the frog has its origin in mud, and lives in mud, as a symbol of those who are born in sin, and live in pollution;
(6) because the frog endures all changes of the season cold and heat, summer, winter, rain, frost - as a symbol of monks who practice self-denial;
(7) because the frog though abstemious of food, yet lives in water and drinks often, as a symbol of drunkards;
(8) as a symbol of impudence;
(9) because the frog swells his size, and distends his cheeks, as a symbol of pride.”
Rev. 13:1-8 “And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns, and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy. . . . and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? And who is able to war with him? and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, even them that dwell in the heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, every one whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain."
That's correct, the Islamo-fascist beast will “overcome them”, be victorious against the saints. If it were not for Jesus returning, the Muslims would obtain their goal of destroying Israel. The beast originally had ten horns/kings, but the “little horn”, Pres. Obama, has been busy uprooting three (Daniel 7:8); Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya. To “blaspheme” is to 'injure with speech'. President Obama's big mouth has been blaspheming God's Name and authority which promised Canaan to the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This “son of perdition” has blasphemed God's “tabernacle (skene)”, better translated 'habitation' in trying to divide Jerusalem. “That Wicked” has blasphemed those who “dwell (skenoo)” in “heaven (ouranos)” – God's kingdom, by preaching social justice and a collective salvation in opposition to those who cling to The only “Way, Truth, and Life”. Those who had not determined beforehand to worship the true Messiah, Jesus/Yeshua, found themselves worshipping the false Messiah, Obama.
The Sunni beast is making its voice heard as it demands governments to become Sharia-compliant. The king of the Shiite "false prophet", Ahmadinejad, has declared the time is right to destroy the Jews so that the Mahdi may come and usher in justice.
Our Savior's words to us during this time are "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." Let's keep our wits about us, and keep our eyes focused on the "Author and Perfector of our faith".
