Revelation 16:12-14 Part 1 of 2

 "And behold, I am coming quickly. 
Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book."     
Revelation 22:7  NASB

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 of the East. Then I saw three impure 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 demonic spirits that perform 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. 

The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates 
Revelation 9:14  It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."

and its water was dried up to prepare the way 
Isaiah 11:15-16  The LORD will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that anyone can cross over in sandals. There will be a highway for the remnant of his people that is left from Assyria, as there was for Israel when they came up from Egypt.

for the kings from the East 
Isaiah 41:2  "Who has stirred up the one from the east, calling him in righteousness to his service? He hands nations over to him and subdues kings before him. He turns them to dust with his sword, to wind blown chaff with his bow."
Isaiah 46:11  "From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do."

Then I saw three impure spirits 
Revelation 18:2  With a mighty voice he shouted: " 'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!' (Isaiah 21:9) She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal."

that looked like frogs 
Exodus 8:6  So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and frogs came up and covered the land.

they came out of the mouth of the dragon 
Revelation 12:3  Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads.

out of the mouth of the beast 
Revelation 13:1  The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.

and out of the mouth of the false prophet 
Revelation 19:20  But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
Revelation 20:10  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.
