Spirit Beings Are Communicating With World Leaders - And it Isn't Good, Pt 1 of 4
According to the Bible we are not alone. The Bible talks about "principalities and powers" in the spiritual realm. It also warns us to stay away from them. Yet the spirits are talking and world leaders are listening and it isn't good.
The End Times
"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of demons , performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." Rev. 16:13,14. (It's the battle of Armaggedon - [see verse 16], which involves the worlds leaders [vs 14] and takes place at the end of time, as Jesus announces He is getting ready to return [see vs 15]).
In the verses quoted above we see three players who unite to deceive the entire world at the end of time, all the world that is - except for God's people. We know from Rev. 7:1-3 that God has been holding back the winds of strife, not allowing the complete destruction which is to come upon the earth, until His servants are sealed in their foreheads. These are "the elect" Jesus was talking about (along with the great multitude in Rev. 7:9,10), when His disciples asked Him to tell them when the end of the world would come, and what signs they would see to indicate the end was approaching. (I strongly recommend you read Jesus's answer in Mt 24:3-51; Mark 13:3-37; and Lk. 21:7-36)
In Mt. 24:24 Jesus warned, "For false christ's and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." Remember, as we read earlier, the elect are those who are sealed in their foreheads with the seal of God.
The Great Coming Deception
Going back to the three players introduced earlier , we saw in Rev 16 a great worldwide deception coming prior to the coming of Jesus in the clouds of heaven (see Mt 24:27; and Mk 13:26). The three players are: 1. The dragon, 2. The beast, and 3. The false prophet. The dragon is easy to identify. Using scripture to interpret scripture, he's named in Rev 12:9 where it says, "the dragon... that serpent of old, called the Devil, and Satan."
The "beast" is also easy to identify, but to keep it simple, I'm going to just make an assertion, which I will elaborate on in Part 2 of this article series. For now I'm simply going to identify the "beast" as a combined religious/political power. And the false prophet as an apostate form of Christianity. So Satan (the dragon), a church/state power (the beast), and a fallen form of Christianity (the false prophet) are the three world powers which will work in combination with one another. They will unite in a great worldwide deception which will unleash the final events which bring the end, and the deliverance of God's people.
Remember, the issue at the end is a matter of worship! Who gets our allegiance - God or man? (Or, ultimately, God or Satan) When the end comes the Bible depicts two groups upon the earth. One group has the seal of the living God written in their foreheads. The other has the "mark of the beast" - and will be commanded to worship the beast or face the death penalty (see Rev 13:15-17).
In Part 2 we'll look at principles of interpreting Bible prophecy (using the Bible to interpret the Bible), and use these principles to identify different symbols used in Revelation. What you'll discover is the Bible is amazingly consistent, from start to finish. You'll also discover the Bible has been telling the same story from start to finish. In Part 3 we'll take a closer look at "the three spirits like frogs" - coming out of the mouths of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet - and what the Bible has to say about spiritualism and communicating with the dead. In Part 4 we'll examine who these spirits are, what world leaders they are talking to, what they are saying, and why it's so dangerous.
