"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. 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. '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.'” Revelation 16: 13-15

It is easy for you to determine who are the beast and the false prophet in today's world. Demons go forth from the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet crying for war. We know who the dragon is - the accuser, the original serpent of the garden who first challenged Christ, the Word God speaks - "Did God really say that?"

So who is the beast? And who is the false prophet?

Who is calling for war against Iran? It is only demons who cry for war. Christ lays down His life for His enemies. That included you and me.

So, who is calling for war against Iran?

The image of the beast - all the news channels on television, especially Fox News - is crying for war against Iran. [If you have gained your understanding of the world from Fox News, I have little hope for you in the present hour - except a miracle from God, which He does often do.]

The US congress is crying for war against Iran.

Israel is crying for war against Iran and more.

The "Tea Party" movement is crying for war against Iran and more.

Sarah Palin is crying for war against Iran.

Many American "Christians" are crying for war against Iran and those "evil" Muslims and anyone else whom they lust after to kill.

It's easy, isn't it, to identify the beast and the false prophet. No mystery here, not anymore.

And the incredible thing is that Iran is innocent of the present charges against it voiced by the demons crying for war.

The accuser.

Now, understand that the prophetic word of Scripture is never given to us to "predict" the future. It is given to us to understand the present. Today is the day of salvation - always. Christ is revealed in the present moment.

In the first century, when John received this understanding from God, it was speaking of the Beast in his day. In the 300's AD, the Beast was revealed to the church by those who were calling for war, and in the 1200's, and in the 1700's and so on. In every generation of the church, the words of the revelation of Jesus Christ found their fulfillment fully in that day.

We do not get excited about the ridiculous claims of figuring out that "666" is any individual person separate from any person before or after. "The Antichrist" is not a Biblical idea. It does not come from God; Christians made it up.

Anyone who calls for war, for killing other people to preserve or increase one's own life in this world, is speaking out of the demons that issue forth, as John says, from the mouth of the dragon, from the mouth of the Beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet. In that moment, their mouth reveals the Beast.

I just read the words of a man who rejoices in the grace and kindness of God calling for war against North Korea.

And thus the Beast and the false prophet speak.
