BOWL 6… (Revelation 16:12-16) “Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and it dried up so that the kings from the east could march their armies toward the west without hindrance. And I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs leap from the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. They are demonic spirits who work miracles and go out to all the rulers of the world to gather them for battle against the Lord on that great judgment day of God the Almighty. “Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.” And the demonic spirits gathered all the rulers and their armies to a place with the Hebrew name Armageddon.”
Bowl 6 sets the stage for the final battle in the history of the world. At this point, after all of the devastation that has taken place on this planet, it’s absolutely astounding that Islamic forces are still consumed with raging against the God and Savior of Israel and Jerusalem. The Euphrates River is stopped, to allow Persian Islamic forces to take part in this final battle. Turkey and Syria have built several dams on the Euphrates which can slow and even stop the flow of the river. This part of the prophesy is easily fulfilled. The three “Frogs” represent the three centers of Islam… the Arabian, the Turkish and the Persian branches.
Despite the tremendous amount of hype in Christian circles concerning the “Battle of Armageddon”… it really isn’t much of a battle at all. The battle is over before it even starts.
(Revelation 19: 11-16, 19-21) “Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war. His eyes were like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one understood except himself. He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God. The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses. From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress. On his robe at his thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords…
...Then I saw the beast and the kings of the world and their armies gathered together to fight against the one sitting on the horse and his army. And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast, miracles that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue. Both the beast and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. Their entire army was killed by the sharp sword that came from the mouth of the one riding the white horse.”
