REVELATION 16:13, C. H. Cayce “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.”
Note that the unclean spirits came out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They were the same unclean spirits which came out of the mouth of one that came out of the mouth of the others. The false prophet prophesies falsely; unclean spirits come out of his mouth. The Lord had true prophets, and there were false prophets, which were not the Lord’s prophets. The Lord has true ministers, and there are false ministers, which are not the Lord’s ministers.
The unclean spirits were like frogs; they were not frogs, but they were like them. Frogs usually make more noise as spring approaches. As you travel along, and come near a low, swampy place, in spring time, you can usually hear a great noise. So, there are some spirits which make a great noise as spring approaches. As the weather turns warm, and there are signs of approaching spring, the noise of the “big meetings” begin.
Frogs are amphibious— they live in water or on land. Yet they are usually more often found in low, marshy places; that is, some of them are.
Others (as toads) usually hide during the day and come out to feed at night.
Some species of them are hatched in the water— perhaps most of them. At first they are tadpoles. They change from tadpoles to frogs when the tail disappears. As tadpoles they live in the water. As frogs they live in water or on land.
Some spirits say you can’t have Christians without water. They have to gather round the water to make Christians, or rather, to make children of God. That’s like the frog.
There is another kind of frog called the tree frog. It turns the same color as the article it is on. If it is on a gray bark it will turn gray. Put it on a brown leaf, and it will turn brown. Put it on a white article, and it will turn white. Put it on a black stump, and it will turn black. Put it on a green leaf, and it will turn green.
There is a spirit like that. Some folks are always of your opinion when they are with you. Put them with others whose opinion is different, and their opinion will be different. They always agree with those they are with. They can shift in opinion as quickly and as conveniently as the tree frog can change in color.
Some frogs will hide under bushes and leaves, and will come out readily when it rains. The sprinkle suits them all right; but they seldom get in the water. So, there are some who like sprinkling all right; they seldom get in the water. The Primitive Baptist, March 5, 1918.
