14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

A. These frogs / spirits / generals in Satan’s army, appear to have the ability to perform miracles. Of course, the miracles are done by fraud and deceit.

B. Combine the power of Satan with persecuting governments and the power of false religions, and you have a force to be reckoned with.

C. They gather their followers together for a battle. They know they will be battling against God. In their pride and arrogance, they think they can win.

D. The great Day of Judgment is coming. As the song expresses it, “There’s a Great Day Coming.”

E. Christians in every period in history have had to fight the battle of Armageddon. There will always be a struggle between good and evil. The battle goes on internally - between our flesh and our spirit. (Galatians 5:16-18) The battle goes on when we are faced with a temptation. Like Peter, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

F. But when the final battle is engaged - the Day of Judgment - God will be totally and completely victorious. We are told in 17:14 that there will be war against the Lamb and that “the Lamb will overcome them.”
