As the point is made, contained in 1 Cor 14,

So to understand the book of Revelation, pray for the gift of prophecy.

In this it is best to keep in mind 1 Cor 13:2,

In this and of great importance is 1 John 4, the entire chapter should be read and heeded, and most pointedly,

"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world."

The gift of discernment of spirits should also be prayed for earnestly. "Oh God my Father, Jesus my Lord, please do not let me be deceived!"

That being said, here are my views:

Before the fall of Babylon (also called the "prostitute") the forces of Satan will gather all the rulers of the world together for a battle. Three demons that look like frogs will gather the kings of the whole world together for a battle against Jesus. These demons will gather the kings of the world together for this battle against Jesus before Jesus has returned, showing the demons are anticipating Jesus' soon return.

Rev 16:12-21 "The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty."

Jesus says "Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed."

Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon. The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, ?It is done!? Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible."

After the fall of Babylon, Jesus will come again. It is right before this time that Satan will be deceptively leading all the kings of the world to fight against Jesus. Right around the time of this gathering for the battle of Armageddon is when the Rapture will take place. Before the battle the Rapture will occur.

[ This is after the 6th bowl of the seventh trumpet, and right before or at the time of the 7th and final bowl of the seventh trumpet. Rev 11:15-19 is describing the same time period as Rev chapters 15 and 16. Notice how they both end with the same great hailstorm and earthquake. These sections run parallel. The 7 bowls are the 7 plagues, and these plagues take place after the 7th and final trumpet, in the time between when the 7th trumpet sounds and the time when Jesus returns. The 7th and final trumpet sounds, and then the 7 plagues come, and then Jesus returns. Revelation reveals it is after the 6th plague and before or at the time of the 7th plague of the seventh trumpet that the Rapture will occur. This is what is also told in,

1 Cor 15:52 "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

"At the last trump" is "en eschatos salpigx" in Greek. (Strong's (1722)(2078)(4536)) Although "en" is translated as "at" 113 times in the NT KJV, "en" is translated as "in" 1902 times, "with" 140 times and "among" 117 times. "Eschatos" means last, and the word itself implies that there has been something before the last. Thus the "last trumpet" must imply that there has been at least one prior trumpet, or "first trumpet" in contrast to the "last trumpet". These trumpets are clearly seen in the book of Revelation, and we know the "last trumpet" referenced to in 1 Cor 15 is the same 7th and last trumpet as in Rev 11: 15-19. However, the parallel ending of Rev 11:15-19 ( terrible hailstorm and earthquake) and Rev 15 and 16 shows that these are describing the same time period. As such "en eschatos salpigx" should be translated with the more common meaning of "en". It should read "In the last trump" or even "among the last trump" because it is In the last trumpet section of the book of Revelation that the Rapture is clearly pointed out by Jesus (Rev 15:16), with his warning: Jesus says "Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed." This falls in between the 6th and 7th bowl of the 7th and last trumpet.]

Babylon will fall before Jesus returns. I think Babylon will fall at the time of the Rapture, or shortly afterwards. The remaining people will already have been gathered prepared for the battle of Armageddon, by the three evil spirits that look like frogs. All the people fighting Jesus will be defeated and die as Jesus returns and the battle of Armageddon ensues. In Jesus' victory, the "beast" and "False Prophet" (or the final "Antichrist") will be thrown alive into the "lake of fire" (or Hell).

Rev 19:11-21 "I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, ?Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great.? Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh."

Satan will be cast into the Abyss, and locked there for 1000 years.

Rev 20:1-3 "And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time."
This Abyss is the same place that other fallen angels, that once sired the Nephilim, are currently bound.

Jesus will reign as The King on Earth during this 1000 years, with all the martyrs not only of the Tribulation, but of the ages before the Tribulation reigning with Him as priests of God and of Christ.
Rev 20:4-6 "I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years."

Then Satan will be let out again and will deceive many people again, once again deceptively leading armies to fight against Jesus, and his people. This means there will be people left who are the descendants of those who did not fight and die in the battle of Armageddon. These people are who the resurrected martyrs will be priests to, and these are the people Satan will deceive and lead to battle. All of these people of Satan's army will die, and Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire (or Hell) where he will remain forever.
Rev 20:7-10 "When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth 'Gog and Magog' to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

Isa 14:15-17 "Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit. Those who see you will gaze at you, They will ponder over you, saying, 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms, Who made the world like a wilderness And overthrew its cities, Who did not allow his prisoners to go home?'

Eze 28:18-19 "So I brought fire from within you, and it consumed you. I let it burn you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching. All who knew you are appalled at your fate. You have come to a terrible end, and you are no more."

At some point, perhaps either when the Beast is thrown into the lake of fire, or when Satan is later thrown into the lake of fire, the other  fallen angels working with Satan will also be thrown into the lake of fire. As far as I can tell, the Bible is unspecified as to when this will occur.

Mat 25:41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."

There is some argument to be made that a judgment of these angels will occur, involving Christians in a judging role, before they are thrown into the lake of fire.

1 Cor 6:2-4 "Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, appoint as judges even men of little account in the church!"

All of the dead will rise again. Jesus will judge everyone at Judgment day, and will reward those who were saved by their belief in him according to what they have done, and will sentence those who were not saved because of their unbelief in him according to what they have done. And all people who did not have belief in him will join Satan in the lake of fire (or Hell).
Rev 20:11-15 "Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. "

Then all the people who follow Jesus, whose names are written in His book of life, will live with God and Jesus. God will be their God, and Jesus will be their God, and they will be His children. They will live with Him in the beautiful Holy City, and there will nevermore be death, mourning, crying, or pain for them. They will be God's children, and Jesus' children, and live in peace with Him forever.

Rev 21:18 "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

Rev 22:20 "He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus."

This brings us pretty much to the end of the book of Revelation, it is a book with a blessing, "And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book." (Rev 22:7) I encourage you to read the rest, heed the prophecy, and receive this blessing.

Some of the following material in this chapter will cover parts of the book of Revelation with the assumption that you the reader have read the book at least once, and thus have some familiarity with the material contained in the book of Revelation.

Having come to end of the book of Revelation, there is still much to be discussed, and many unanswered questions.

What is Mystery Babylon? Who are the 3 evil spirits that look like frogs? What are the locust things that come out of the Abyss? Who is the beast out of the Abyss, called "Apollyon" or "Abaddon"? Who is the antichrist? How do you calculate the number of the beast, which is 666? How do I heed the words of prophecy of this book? And numerous more questions...

I'm going to try to cover what answers I have to these questions. I don't have all the answers, but I believe God has showed me some things. Some of these questions and their answers relate more directly to fallen angels and demons than others, but to some extent all of they all do, as they help us better be aware of what Satan and his minions are doing today, and will be doing in the future.

First off, much of what needs to be heeded in this book is to be found in the first chapters, dealing with the churches. I believe these correspond to church ages, and to modern church types. These are covered a bit in my Time of Jesus to the Present Timeline chapter. (Much of this is researched from here though I disagree some and have changed Laodicean accordingly. [1] )

The four main types of churches today are the Catholic (Thyatira), Protestant/Reformation (Sardis), Christian fundamentalist/missionary/charismatic (Philadelphia), Ecumenical (Laodicea). There is a warning appropriate to each church in the letters of Revelation. Each letter can also arguably apply to every Christian and church on a local warning level. Heed the instructions and warnings of these letters.

Another way to heed the book of Revelation is to not take the mark of the beast. Many people speculate this will be a microchip or something similar, which will be either in the forehead or right hand. Whatever the mark is, it will be required to buy or sell anything. Most people will accept it as a normal and ok thing, and find it acceptable. Whatever you do- do not take the mark of the beast! Die or be imprisoned, but do not take the mark of the beast! It would be better to die than to take the mark of the beast!

Rev 14:9-13 "A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name." This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus." Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."
"Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them."

The mark of the beast will be the number of a man's name, his number which is 666, or the name of the beast.

Rev 13:16-18 "He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."

"If anyone has insight let him calculate" means that this portion of Revelation is cyclic, and has been possible for many people over the last 2000 (plus) years to calculate the number of the beast. So how does one calculate this number of the man's name to 666? A man's name is in letters, and 666 is in numbers. So calculating must involve some sort of alpha-numerical code or equivalency.

The first antichrist was perhaps Herod, mentioned in the New Testament. Actually 3 Herods are mentioned in the New Testament. The first tried to have Jesus killed at his birth, the second let Jesus be crucified, accepted worship as "god", and died of worms, and the third spoke to Paul while Paul was imprisoned.

In Hebrew, Herod was often spelled HORODOS. In the Hebrew alpha-numerical code, O is equal 6. So Herod's name would read h6r6d6s.

Caesar Nero (Neron Kaeser in the Roman) ("nrwn qsr" in Aramaic) I have read equals to 666 in Aramaic. Nero was known for early Christian persecution, 54-68 AD.

I have also read that the name of Diocles Augustus equals 666. He is also called Diocletus, and is another Roman emperor known for persecuting Christians early 300 AD.

The title of the Roman Catholic Pope, V I C A R I U S F I L I I D E I, is equal to 666 in Roman numerals. This title means "Vicar of the Son of God".

The name of Martin Luther in Hebrew also equals to 666. This was apparently calculated by Petro Bongo, canon of Bergam, in "Objections Regarding the Pope". The Roman Catholic church has also apparently suggested that "Loutherana", another spelling of Luther, equals 666.

And so that's what I've found on antichrists past. [2]

But if it is true that anyone can calculate the number of the beast, which is 666, then this must also hold true today. When I first became a Christian I started looking at the book of Revelation, trying to figure out what it meant. After much thought and prayer, and some research, I think God showed me something on the current antichrist.

What is modern alpha-numerical code in use today? In English, it may seem that a=1, b=2, etc. But this is not the alpha-numerical code in English that we use in everyday life. Who ever uses that code. No, the code we use in everyday life is a bit different.

It's 1800MYPIZZA and 1800CALLNOW. The modern alpha-numerical code in English today is the telephone keypad. So take a look, and what does yours say?

It says 6= M, N, O. What, or who, corresponds to those letters? What can a person even spell with those letters? And the answer I reached was M-O-O-N, of which the 3 letters in the name each equal 666. M, N, and O each are a 6, equaling 666. There is little doubt, after some research, that Sun Myung Moon is an antichrist. And I took this alpha-numerical calculation of 666 as confirmation that he is one of the major antichrists of this age. It is also interesting that Moon changed his birth name in 1953. His name was Mun Yong Myong. But Yong means "dragon" and he changed it specifically so as to not cause Christians alarm. Even more interesting is that if one uses his first name he was born with, Mun, and his new middle name Myung, combined with Moon or Myong as his last name... his initials are MMM, once again equaling 666.

Moon is best known as the founder of the Unification church. Moon owns the Washington Post Newspaper, and allegedly has ties with some "big" Christians with well known names, such as Jerry Falwell and Tim Lahaye. Moon has also been said to have influence, through his followers, over the World Council of Churches. I can find little to prove this, however in a memorandum from the Church of Greece's dated about 2005, it reads, "Thus, for example, the allegation that "one of the five chairmen of the W.C.C. collaborates closely with the Unification Church of the Korean pseudo-messiah Moon" has never been denied." [3]

There is no doubt Moon has many ecumenical religious front- organizations, and the Christian ecumenical movement is his pet project that he works on when not proclaiming himself as a "messiah". (These allegedly include the Council of National Policy, the Coalition for Religious Freedom, American Freedom Coalition, Concerned Women of America, Women's Federation for World Peace, Family Federation for World Peace, and others. [4]

Moon says Jesus himself appeared to him when he was 15 years old, and gave him a mission. As Satan himself appears as an angel of light, so did a fallen angel, likely Satan, appear to Moon, claiming to be Jesus.

Some people might also find it interesting that using the telephone keypad alpha-numerical code, "A World Council of Churches" equals 111. Multiply that by 6, and you have 666. But of course, that isn't a man. It is astounding how many churches are members of the world council of churches, many people probably attend such a church and don't even realize it. [5]

In any case, I think Moon is one modern day antichrist of major importance, which I believe the M-O-N, 666, Revelation-based calculation from the telephone keypad affirms.

Moving on to another question: Who are the 3 evil spirits that look like frogs?

We are going to spend some time on this question, because oddly enough, there is a huge amount of information that can be gleaned from the answer to this question. In fact, this is one of the most important prophecy-related questions that I think a Christian can ask about the book of Revelation.

Let's look at what the book of Revelation says in detail.

Rev 16:13-21"Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.

"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed."

Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, "It is done!" Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

(2 chapters on the details of Babylon's destruction follow, there is praise to God, and it is said that the time of the wedding of the Lamb has come, and then...)

Rev 19:11 "I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great." Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh."

What we see happening here is that these evil spirits gather all these people together to war against Jesus before he returns. These people that are preparing to war against Jesus are not Christians. Also, they are preparing to war against Him before He returns. How do they know Jesus is about to return? If they are being gathered together to war, it must mean they think they will have someone to fight- yet Jesus hasn't returned yet. And do these people know it is Jesus they are preparing to war against? No matter what they think of Jesus, they are not Christians, and their view of Jesus must be negative.

Let's review some facts about evil spirits, or demons. Demons don't have bodies, and they cannot materialize or apparate physically. Bodies and apparitions are things that indicate fallen angels. Yet here demons are said to look like frogs. People can't see demons, so how could a demon look like a frog? In order for a demon to be seen, it would have to be in the body of some person or animal. In this case, the animal that they are described to look like is a frog.

So let's say these 3 demons were inside and controlling 3 frogs. How likely do you think it is that people would follow 3 frogs to gather for war? Would an army of humans let themselves be led by 3 frogs? There is nothing to indicate that these frogs could talk, but perhaps these frogs would be able to convince people they could communicate telepathically, and that they could do (deceptive) signs and wonders, through other non-bodied demons and fallen angels working with them under the dragon. That could make sense- except that people just don't seem likely to let themselves be led by 3 frogs, no matter the circumstances. It sounds as convincing as a fairy tale.

But note that John doesn't say the three evil spirits "are 3 frogs", he says they "looked like frogs". So assuming they are not frogs, what else might these demons be inside of  that looks like a frog?

Let's say that John was shown in his Revelation vision an image of something he had never seen before. Let's say he saw a body that was of no known animal that he was familiar with, and obviously to him was not a man either. It makes sense that if John didn't know what this creature was, and had never seen anything like it, that he would describe it as "looking like" something he was familiar with. John chose a frog.

But just because John had never seen the image of this creature before doesn't mean we never have. Closer to Jesus' return in linear time than John, and closer to the Tribulation, it stands to reason that we may have become familiar with this image, even though John was not.

Is there any creature today that is a familiar image to us, that John would have never seen before?  Some creature that if we had to describe as looking like an animal, we would choose to say it looks like a frog? Is there perhaps something we call by another name, because we have been taught to for whatever reason, but if we had never seen or heard of it before, and we had to describe it, we would say it looks like a frog?

Although I was not the first to come up with this idea, and I'm not sure who was, I did think of this on my own a few years ago while studying the book of Revelation. I propose that the culturally common image of a "gray alien" looks much like a frog. There are many similarities that I would like to point out to you.

1. Frogs and grays both have large eyes, and similar facial features.

One webpage says of gray aliens, "They are normally between 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall with large heads and black "wrap around" eyes.  They have limited facial features, slit mouth and no nose to speak of." [6] Frogs also have what I would describe as large heads with black "wrap around" eyes. Frogs also have a slit mouth, and no nose to speak of, just a couple of holes. Another report of "gray aliens" describes them as thus, " Their face is dominated by large black eyes, without pupils. They have two nostrils, slit-like mouths and small ears lacking earlobes." [7] A frog has a slit like mouth, and two nostrils, and their ears also lack lobes.

2. Frogs and gray aliens have similar hand and finger structure. Of gray aliens, "Reports of the fingers vary from 3 to 4, long, webbed". [8] The sketch below is of an alien hand. [9] From Wikipedia on Gray aliens, "Hand is generally described with four fingers and no thumb with slight webbing between fingers. Two fingers appear longer than the others. Sometimes fingernails are reported."

This sketch of an alien hand is compared to a picture of a frog's webbed feet, and a diagram of human verses frog skeletal hand structure. Both the hands and feet of most frogs are webbed.

In "Space Travelers and the Genesis of the Human Form", by Joan D'Arc, we find the following, "The arms of the alien gray are frail and spindly, and there is a "bend" where the elbow should be. The fingers are long and thin, and generally with rounded pads or bulbs at the end, while some are reported as being tapered at the end. There are usually 4 fingers and a thumb, but sometimes 3 fingers and a thumb are noted." Frogs also are known for having rounded pads or bulbs on their fingertips. Frog fingers are typically long and thin, and webbed. Below a frog is compared to a close-up of the fingers of a Hollywood depiction of a "gray alien"  from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". Notice the long fingers.

3. Both ray aliens and frogs have no distinguishable external genitalia. With both gray aliens and frogs, it is very difficult to distinguish what gender they are, because there is no external genitalia. Wikipedia says of Grays, "Other reports have them appearing to be naked. In most cases, clothed Greys have no determinable gender and naked Greys have no visible external genitals." Frogs also have no visible external genitalia. Of gray aliens, "No external reproductive genital, possible reproduction by a cloning method." [10]

4. Frogs and gray aliens both have no hair. "Frogs have no hair." [11] Wikipedia says of gray aliens, "Head generally described as hairless, sometimes a slight fuzz. Bodies are hairless."

And so there are 4 reasons why I think John might have likened the creature he saw in the vision of Revelation, if it was a gray alien, as looking like a frog. Additionally, I do want to add a couple equally strange similarities:

5. Both frogs and gray aliens absorb through their skin. From Wikipedia, "Greys reportedly absorb food as well as excrete waste through the skin, which makes them emit a foul odor." Of frogs, Wikipedia says, "The physiology of frogs is generally like that of other amphibians (and differs from other terrestrial vertebrates) because oxygen can pass through their highly permeable skin. This unique feature allows frogs to "breathe" largely through their skin."

6. Both frogs and gray aliens reproduce through external reproductive means. Grays are said to reproduce their own kind by cloning, which is an external non-mammalian reproductive method which would take place in a lab, and growth would occur in an artificial womb environment. Frogs also reproduce externally, the male and female components issuing out of the body and fertilizing, then growing in an external environment like a pond.

I personally do believe that what John saw, which he described as "3 evil spirits that looked like frogs", was 3 demons in the bodies of 3 gray aliens. Though it is nothing conclusive, it is also interesting that in an English alphabet Gematria code (A=6, B=12, C=18, etc.) that "Gray aliens" and "Alien Grays" both equal "666".

We will cover more on gray aliens in the next chapter.
