Revelation 16:12-16

12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and[a] of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

15 “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

16 And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.

They will gather together in Armageddon. This will be the final war. When the river dries up, the kings from the Asian countries will pass through this way. All of the world’s kings will join in this war. Satan has lost his final battle with God, but he will try to use all of his remaining power and authority to control the kings of the earth.

Jesus came 2,000 years ago to save. The next time He comes, when the angels blow their trumpets, we will meet Jesus in the air. This is what we call the rapture. At the end of the tribulation, He will return to fight against the dragon, the false prophet, and the beast. He will win. Then He will reign for 1,000 years.

The battle between Satan’s army and God’s army will be fought in Armageddon.

In Revelation 16, God is dealing with unbelievers, the Antichrist, the false prophet, and the beast. These disasters are not for the children of God. There will be a time after the rapture when a great war will take place between God’s armies and Satan’s armies. It will be a great, big disaster. That’s why the Bible says that tribulation and calamity will take place on the earth.

The Antichrist will try to use all of his power and authority to control the entire world. The false prophet will try to make the armies of the world the armies of the Antichrist , to make one religion. His goal is to cause the entire population to worship the Antichrist and follow him and obey him.

Revelation 16:3 says that unclean spirits will come out of the mouths of the Antichrist, the false prophet, and the beast. They will speak abominable things. They will manipulate the entire world to come against God, to hate God. Therefore, all of these people will gather together in Armageddon to fight with the armies of God. When they gather together, Jesus will come back with His armies to fight.

God bless you!
