The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 16:13-14

The unclean spirits. Following the steps hitherto taken, we come to a symbol of great repulsiveness—a symbol doubtless intended to represent evil in its repulsive form. Again we premise we see no individual persons or individual systems in this figure. "The descriptions here, as well as in the parallel passage, point to the last, the most reckless antichristian and blasphemous manifestations of the beast and the false prophet, when impregnated to the fall with the spirit of Satan, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 16:14

For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles. This explains the account given in Revelation 16:13 . In the plague of the frogs, the Egyptian magicians imitated the plague of Moses; the second beast (the false prophet) is represented as leading men astray by his miracles ( Revelation 13:13 ). After the sixth trumpet came the digression, in which an account was given of the two witnesses of God, who worked miracles ( Revelation 12:1-17 .); here, after the sixth vial, we have a... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 16:13

And I saw three unclean spirits - They assumed a visible form which would well represent their odiousness - that of frogs - but still they are spoken of as “spirits.” They were evil powers, or evil influences (Revelation 16:14, “spirits of devils”), and the language here is undoubtedly designed to represent some such power or influence which would, at that period, proceed from the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.Like frogs - βατράχοι batrachoi. This word does not occur in the New... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 16:14

For they are the spirits of devils - On the meaning of the word used here, see the notes on Revelation 9:20. It is used here, as it is in Revelation 9:20, in a bad sense, as denoting evil spirits. Compare the notes on Matthew 4:1-2, Matthew 4:24.Working miracles - Working what seemed to be miracles; that is, such wonders as to deceive the world with the belief that they were miracles. See the notes on Revelation 13:13-14, where the same power is ascribed to the “beast.”Which go forth unto the... read more

Revelation 16:12-14. And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates Affected also by the sixth trumpet; and the water thereof was dried up And of all the rivers that flowed into it. The Turkish empire seems to be here intended, lying chiefly on this side the Euphrates. The Romish and Mohammedan affairs ran nearly parallel to each other for several ages. In the seventh age rose Mohammed himself, and a little before him Boniface III., with his universal bishopric. In... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 16:1-21

Pouring out the seven bowls (16:1-21)The bowl judgments are similar to the trumpet judgments, only much more severe. The judgments announced by the trumpets affected only one third of the various areas (see 8:7-12), but here the judgments are total and final. The first judgment brings disease on the earth, the second death in the sea, and the third death in the waters on the land (16:1-4). God acts justly by inflicting the persecutors with punishments suited to the evil they have done (5-6).... read more

And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs:Out of the mouth of the dragon ... the beast ... the false prophet ... Ah! Here are the "kings of the east" mentioned above. Their purpose in crossing the boundary will quickly appear.Three unclean spirits, as it were frogs ...

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 16:14

for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.With the barrier breached and Satan's propagandists able to operate in the church itself, the ultimate crisis will soon arrive.They are spirits of demons ... Their teaching is satanic, motivated by the hatred of God and of his truth.Working signs ... Not merely the priests of the ancient emperor cult, but the Medieval... read more
