The Three Frogs
This moment of truth, this punishing reality, will leave the wicked in a state of hopeless gloom. Each wicked person will suddenly understand his dire situation. He deliberately defied the God of Heaven in order to save himself from death and now, there will be no escape from death. The devil also knows that his deception is over, so he will send three of his most powerful demons to the ten kings of the Earth. God represented these demons to John as frogs because frogs catch their prey with their tongues. These lying demons will perform a series of impressive miracles before each king saying: “Join with Lucifer and his mighty angels because Jesus Christ will soon appear. Working together we can destroy Jesus, so gather up your armies and weapons and be prepared for the final battle, the battle of Armageddon. Otherwise, He will kill you and your armies will surely perish.”
“Then I saw the [composite] beast and the kings of the Earth and their armies gathered together to make war against [Jesus] the rider on the horse and his army. But the [composite] beast was captured and with him the false prophet [Lucifer, the lamb-like beast] who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs, he [the devil] had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The rest of them [all of the wicked who were not soldiers] were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.” (Revelation 19:19-21, Some insertions mine)
During the sixth bowl, the kings of Earth will realize that Lucifer is the devil, but they will still listen to his demons. Unaided by the influence of the Holy Spirit because they committed the unpardonable sin, they will join with the devil and attempt to destroy Jesus when He appears. This is a fact: Sinful nature would rather destroy God than surrender to His authority. “The sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.” (Romans 8:7,8) For those who have ears to hear, it should now be clear why God’s “sudden death law” is both righteous and perpetual throughout eternity.
