The Beast, the Dragon and the false prophet

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 the false prophet.

¹⁴ For they are the spirits of devils, working 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.

¹⁷ And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

¹⁸ And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

¹⁹ And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

²⁰ And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

²¹ And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.”

So who are those who will be gathered into a place called in Hebrew tongue Armageddon  Rev(16:16) ? Who are these three the Beast, the Dragon and the false prophet? I have every reason to believe that these three are the three major nation coalitions. The Beast is the Russian Bear with its allies – north Europe mainly and maybe some north African countries- as it is evident in Ezekiel 38 chapter. THE DRAGON is China and its allies “The Kings of the east” as it says in verse 12 (Rev. 16:12). Their emblem had always been the dragon after all. And finally the false prophet is Israel and its closest ally USA because the false prophet or the AntiChrist will be half Jew from the tribe of Dan and he will be more likely to use the military power of a Super Power close to Israel like the USA. Unfortunately these two powers (USA and Israel) are going to be deceived by him in the future.

The three unclean spirits coming out of their mouths looking like frogs (Rev. 16:13) seem to be the three war machines which are able to operate on the ground, in the air, at sea, and under the surface of the sea just like the frogs. Coincidently the seals of the US Navy, ("SEAL" is always capitalized in reference to members of the Naval Special Warfare community. The acronym is derived from their capacity to operate at sea, in the air, and on land. SEALs are male members of the United States Navy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Navy_SEALs )

are called frogmen in the Greek Navy exactly because of their three fold type of operation at sea in the air and on land.

In fact the frog is the most appropriate animal to describe the capacity of modern armed forces to operate at sea in the air and on land because it has the ability to leap in the air whereas the seal for example, cannot jump at all.
