Revelation 16:13
what the Bible says
It is always important to read a passage of scripture in context. Revelation 16:12-16 states:
- 12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
- 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of sthe false prophet.
- 14 For they are the spirits of devils, tworking miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
- 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
- 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.[1]
Quotes of William Branham
Going to Sunday school one morning, I was caught away in a vision. And I said, “Now…” Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, I said, “Now, there’s going to be three great isms. Which is now in existence. One of them is in Rome, which is—is Fascism, and one of them is in Germany which is Nazi—Nazism. And the other one is in Russia, which is communism.” I said, “Those three great isms is the unclean spirits that went out of the mouth of the false prophet, and the dragons, and so forth that will unite themselves together, speaking things that they should not, and they’ll all beat at one another, until they’ll finally wind up in one ism. And I predict that that will be communism. And communism will burn the Vatican city.[2]
Now, we’re going to get that in our study now (You see?), the three unclean spirits is the three isms. Let me type it for you now and you’ll see where it—where it started, where it begin. See? There was communism, fascism, nazism. They were spirits. Communism is a spirit. It gets on you. See? It’s a spirit. And that—it’ll be something like that, only I’d…It—it…That really isn’t it. But it’ll be three spirits just like that, which they was kind of a forerunner of. But, of course, you know where…It’s in Catholicism. You see? But I’d—I—I want to get a few things on that straight before I say it (You see?), to be sure that I know what… 74 But it is three spirits, just like communism, fascism…And we brought that out years ago, you know. Remember, I told you, I said it would be a—it would be a thing would take place, would be—all wind up in communism. And that’s where it’s done. That’s the same way it’ll be at that time. You see? It—it’ll be three unclean spirits that’ll go forth.[3]
