Revelation 16:13-14


13 And I saw three loathsome spirits like frogs, [leaping] from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet. 

14 For really they are the spirits of demons that perform signs (wonders, miracles). And they go forth to the rulers and leaders all over the world, to gather them together for war on the great day of God the Almighty.

Here is a great Truth about what the demons are used to do by our Father, they miraculously gather those who take the mark of the beast to Armageddon. Think of what we have been shown so far in Revelation: a 1/3rd of the ships of the world will have been destroyed at this time. We have been shown that the air will be so thick with ash that a 1/3rd of the sun will be darkened. We are told that there will be extreme world wide famine. We are told that anyone who joins with the anti-christ will be vexed with extreme ulcers and soars, so they won’t be able to travel. These things mean that the anti-christ will not be able to move armies with ships or airplanes or by marches. The anti-christ will not be able to supply the massive troops with food and water to sustain them. Yet millions will be gathered to Armageddon to be destroyed. They are gathered there miraculously by these three demons. They are gathered without being shipped to Armageddon or flown there. 

With that in mind now look at Jesus’ parable in Luke 17 about the two men in one bed, one will be taken and one left. The disciples asked Jesus where would they be taken to and Jesus told them plainly to Armageddon, where the birds are gathered to consume their flesh, Luke 17:37 and Revelation 19:21. In Luke 17:22-29 Jesus was telling the disciples about the last days. So in Luke 17, Jesus was showing us that those who follow the anti-christ will be miraculously transported to Armageddon to be destroyed.

Now you want to see something very powerful. Look at the parable of the wheat and darnel in Matthew 13.

Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary. Matthew 13:30

Jesus tells us that the darnel will be gathered first. Now darnel is not wheat. It never was wheat. It is not wheat that has been perverted. Darnel is a weed and it was sown by the enemy. Think of our enemy satan and the third of the angels that followed him. Where could they do more damage then in the leadership of religion and government? We know that angels can take on the form of being human, Hebrews 13:2, Mark 16:5, and Genesis 6:2. These fallen angels, or darnel, know that their time is short here on the earth, Revelation 12:12. They want to make people trust in themselves and others instead of our Father, which is exactly what governments and religions do. 

Jesus has been given all men, John 17:2. Jesus will not lose any that He has been given, John 6:39. So the darnel must be the fallen angels who we are told can look like people, but they are not people. They are angels and they are not used by our Father to produce fruit as man is. Our Father allows them to stay among us until the end to use them to strengthen us in Him, 2 Corinthians 12:6-8. Then He removes them first, by taking them to Armageddon to be destroyed.   Satan cannot sow men, because he has not been given men, but he has been given a 1/3rd of the angels.
