In this week’s study, I continue in Chapter 16 verses 12 to 14. However, once again before I begin, I go into a rant on some of the current events that affected our daily life, discussing Karen Kingston and her discovery on the Covid vaccine and the ‘nanotechnology injected into our bodies damages our brains, mind and spirits’.
I also go into the Book of Enoch and discover where ‘demons’ come from.
How do we know that the events remaining in the 7th Vial – great earthquake, Babylon is judged, mountains and islands are moved and great hail – are what happens at Armageddon? All we have to do is compare them with Ezekiel 38:18-22. Ezekiel 38 is the Battle of Gog and Magog. We compared this with the 7th Vial and found that it was one and the same. In both cases there is a great earthquake, mountains and islands move and there are great hailstones. We definitely know that the items remaining in the 7th Vial are Armageddon
In chapter 11, we saw that the two witnesses in Jerusalem will be prophesying and pronouncing plagues upon the earth during the 1260 days of the great tribulation (Rev 11:3), and those plagues shall do enormous harm to the earth. The plagues will stop when Antichrist finally succeeds in killing the two witnesses (Rev 11:7). In response to their deaths, the unbelieving world bursts into joyous celebration. In their minds, Antichrist will have saved the world. For the unbelieving world, this will be a time of victory, relief, and praise for Antichrist.
As Antichrist’s reign ends, Yahshua Messiah’s reign begins . What happens next is that Antichrist’s kingdom shall be forcibly taken away and destroyed forever. This transition takes place during the Day of the Lord, which corresponds to the period in which the bowl events strike the earth.
This morning we will pick up this wrath of Yahweh beginning with verse 12.
The Sixth Vial
Now in verses 10 through 21 the Lord is going to reveal to us the last three judgments that will fall upon this world that will fall upon the kingdom of the antichrist and change, literally, the topography of the earth in preparation for Yahweh's final confrontation with man at the Battle of Armageddon.
13. Unclean spirits like frogs = pattern to the frogs sent on Egypt. The 'unclean spirit' in the land (Palestine) is foretold, Zech.13:2, in connection with idolatrous prophets.
The dragon = ‘drak-own’ Satan, who gives his Vow and throne (Rev. 13:2) to the beast.
14 devils = Greek, “demons.” Where do these ‘demons’ come from? Enoch Chapter 15
8. And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling.
9. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men, and from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be called.
[10. As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.]
11. And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, but nevertheless hunger and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them.
So there we have it. Demons are the offspring of the Fallen and Angels and the daughters of Man, ‘eth-aw-dawm;
working miracles = Greek, “signs.”
go forth unto = or “for,” that is, to tempt them to the battle with the Messiah.
