(13)And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the
mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three
unclean spirits like frogs. (14)For they are the spirits of demons
doing wonders, which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the
whole habitable globe, to gather them together unto the battle of that
great day of God Almighty. (15)Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he
who watcheth, and keepeth his garments, that he walk not about naked,
and men see his shame. (16)And he gathered them together into a place
called in the Hebrew, Armageddon.

(17)And the seventh angel poured out his vase into the air; and a loud

were upon the earth, an earthquake of such a kind, and so great.
