Revelation 16:13
I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of
the dragon. Let the reader observe there is an alliance of three
powers described as the "dragon", the "beast", and the "false prophet".
From their mouths came three unclean spirits, like frogs, who go forth
to the kings of the earth, rally their forces under the banners of the
three allied powers, and march them to the battle of the great day of
the Almighty. We have met these three powers before, and know that
these are really one, animated by one spirit, but appearing in
different forms. The dragon, the Satan, wars against the woman, in the
form of old Pagan Rome (Revelation 12:13-17); he then transfers this
warfare to the seven-headed beast, the political world power shown both
in the form of Imperial and Papal Rome (Revelation 13:7); this power was
supported, reanimated when about to perish, by the lamb-like dragon who
is the false prophet (Revelation 13:11). "As it were frogs" (Revised
Version). Unclean, loathsome, suggesting the plagues of Egypt
(Exodus 8:2).
