"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. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." Revelation 16: 13, 14
The dragon, the beast, and the false prophet we are instructed by the prophet, John, in the Revelation are in essence manifesting the will of pure evil of the "the rulers of the darkness of this world …spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12.
God pulls aside the spiritual veil and allows humanity to see what is really occurring in the spiritual dimension and in doing so he shows us a most disturbing conspiracy…human beings are literally in league "with the rulers of the darkness of this world, … spiritual wickedness in high places."
THE DRAGON OF BIBLE PROPHECY
The dragon is the symbolic biblical name for Satan. The book of Revelation tells us that Satan is the "great dragon" "… that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world." The prophet, John, was shown furthermore that the fallen angel, Satan, has a following of evil angels (perhaps hundreds of millions) who were cast onto the earth along with him. Revelation 12:9.
The prophet, Ezekiel, gives us a literally description of what the fallen angel, Satan, looked like before his fall. He says that Lucifer (Satan’s angelic name) was "full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty." Lucifer had " been in Eden the garden of God;" and his "skin" was made up of "every precious stone". The precious stones specifically named are "the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold".
He was created by God and held the post as "the anointed cherub that covereth"; that is to say an exalted angel that stood next to the very throne of God in what the apostle and prophet, Paul, called the "third heaven". 2 Corinthians 12:2.
This Lucifer was "perfect" in his ways from the day that he was created, "till iniquity was found" in him. See Ezekiel 28: 12-15.
Lucifer became dissatisfied with God being in charge and decided to establish a New Universal Order…he aspired to overthrow the government of God.
The prophets Isaiah and John provide the narrative. John writes: " And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven." Revelation 12:7,8.
The prophet, Isaiah, tells us the specifics of the origin of the war. He writes, " How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, …"
He continues by letting us know that Lucifer said in his heart, "I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High." Isaiah 14:12-14.
Because Satan is a fallen angel he is a "spirit". God, who created the angels, "maketh his angels spirits…" Psalms 104:4 It is said of the unfallen angels that they are "all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" Hebrews 1:14. So it should be understood that Satan and his angels, being spirit beings, (although fallen) have powers that human being do not.
Thus he offers men and woman power and riches to promote the gospel of his kingdom, the gospel of the "dragon" here on earth. Accordingly the dragon also represents Satanism in its most confrontational form i.e. the open worship of Satan, secret orders such as the Masons, the Jesuits, Skull & Bones etc.
The Beast Of Bible Prophecy
The "beast" in the conspiracy in discussion is the beast mentioned by the prophet, Daniel, as well as the prophet, John. This beast is the beast that started out and was shown in prophetic vision to Daniel. He wrote of it saying… " I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns." Daniel 7:7.
Understand that the "beast" is symbolic prophetic language for a nation or kingdom. This is the interpretation provided by the angel that was sent from heaven to explain the vision to the prophet, Daniel. Daniel was told: " The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces." Daniel 7:23.
In his prophecy Daniel started with ancient Babylon as the first kingdom or "beast" power (See Daniel Chapters 2&7). The second and third "beasts" powers in history, as well as those shown to the prophet himself, were Meda-Persia and then Greece.
Daniel was given the correct interpretation by the angel once again in Daniel chapter 8.
The kingdoms to rise after ancient Babylon (the 2nd and 3rd kingdoms as they relate to the prophecy) were represented by "beasts"…a ram and a goat.
The angel told the prophet, " Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be." He said the ram which you saw " having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king." Daniel 8:19-21.
So ancient Babylon was the first beast power, Meda-Persia was the second beast power, Greece was the third beast power, and the fourth beast power to rise was the Roman Empire. It was described, as pointed out above, as the "fourth beast" which " shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth." Daniel 7:23.
After explaining to Daniel in chapter 7 the characteristics of the fourth beast, the angel returns in Chapter 8 to provide more details, and after giving the prophet the details about "Media and Persia" and " Grecia"; he gives more details about Rome, the power that would follow these powers.
This power would be "diverse" or different than all the kingdoms of the earth he had warned. It would devour the entire earth, "tread it down, and break it in pieces."
Picking up in chapter 8 with the fall and division of Greece (it was ultimately divided into 4 by 4 of Alexander the Great’s leading generals) the angel tells the prophet, "Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. It is a fact that the kingdom of Greece, headed by Alexander the Great, was split after his death, and the kingdom was divided by four generals. Thus after the power of Alexander was "broken" "four kingdoms" stood "up out of the nation, but not in his power." So "four stood up for it", or in the place of it, yet lacking the power of the unified kingdom.
"And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes;…" Daniel 8:22-25
The fact that this fourth power would stand up against the "Prince of princes"–Jesus—at first glance lets us know indeed it is the fourth beast. It was the police power of Rome that allowed Jesus to be put to death (although it was the unbelieving among the Jews that plotted his death and delivered him to the police power of the Romans).
It was also the Roman power that severely persecuted Christians, thus the prophet, Daniel, centuries beforehand, was warned by the angel that this power would "destroy the mighty and the holy people."
But the plot thickens…this fourth beast morphs into an even more sinister power. Its power would, according to the prophecy expand. It would not come into its full power until near the end.
The prophet was told that a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power".
The indication that this fierce king would "standup" or come to power should be noted because he is said to understand dark sentences. This is an obvious implication of deep occult involvement and knowledge. It is through interaction with fallen angels that his "power shall be mighty". Thus he is said to have this power, but "not by his own power". It is power from the dark side therefore he understands "dark sentences". The "craft" prospers in his hand…
The plan is darker still…much darker stay tuned for part 2
