In biblical context, demonic spirits are often associated with deception and opposition to God's purposes. The presence of demonic spirits in Revelation highlights the spiritual warfare that underlies the events of the end times. This aligns with <a href="/ephesians/6-12.htm">Ephesians 6:12</a>, which speaks of the struggle against spiritual forces of evil.that perform signs The ability of these spirits to perform signs suggests a supernatural power intended to deceive and manipulate. In the Bible, signs and wonders can be used by both God and false prophets (<a href="/matthew/24-24.htm">Matthew 24:24</a>). The signs performed by these demonic spirits are likely counterfeit miracles meant to lead people astray, reminiscent of the magicians in Pharaoh's court who mimicked Moses' miracles (<a href="/exodus/7-11.htm">Exodus 7:11-12</a>).and go out to all the kings of the earth This phrase indicates the global scope of the demonic influence, reaching all the rulers of the world. The kings of the earth often symbolize political and military power. The demonic spirits' mission to influence these leaders suggests a coordinated effort to unite them against God. This echoes <a href="/psalms/2-2.htm">Psalm 2:2</a>, where the kings of the earth set themselves against the Lord and His Anointed.to assemble them for battle The purpose of the demonic spirits is to gather the kings for a climactic confrontation. This assembly for battle is a recurring theme in apocalyptic literature, symbolizing the ultimate conflict between good and evil. The gathering for battle is reminiscent of the gathering of nations against Jerusalem in <a href="/zechariah/14-2.htm">Zechariah 14:2</a>.on the great day of God the Almighty This phrase refers to the eschatological "day of the Lord," a time of divine intervention and judgment. The "great day" signifies the culmination of God's plan and the final defeat of evil. The title "God the Almighty" emphasizes God's supreme power and authority over all creation. This day is prophesied in <a href="/joel/2-31.htm">Joel 2:31</a> and <a href="/malachi/4-5.htm">Malachi 4:5</a>, where it is described as a day of both judgment and salvation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/demonic_spirits.htm">Demonic Spirits</a> These are malevolent spiritual beings that oppose God and His purposes.

This explains the account given in ver. 13. In the plague of the frogs, the Egyptian magicians imitated the plague of Moses; the second beast (the false prophet) is represented as leading men astray by his miracles (<a href="/revelation/13-13.htm">Revelation 13:13</a>). After the sixth trumpet came the digression, in which an account was given of the two witnesses of God, who worked miracles (<a href="/revelation/12.htm">Revelation 12</a>.); here, after the sixth vial, we have a short digression, in which an account is given of the three witnesses of Satan, who endeavour rework on his behalf, by exhibiting miracles. (For the meaning of this working of miracles, see on Revelation 13:13.) Which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world; the kings of the whole world - omitting "of the earth" (Revised Version). The kings of the world are those whose aim and delight is the possession of the pleasures of this world; those who have their treasure in this world, and whose hearts are therefore also there; those who exercise their influence and power in regard only to the things of this world; in short, the worldly. To gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty; God, the Almighty. This battle is described in <a href="/revelation/19-11.htm">Revelation 19:11-21</a>, which see. The great day is the last great judgment day. The battle referred to here, and described in <a href="/revelation/19.htm">Revelation 19</a>, and again in <a href="/revelation/20-1.htm">Revelation 20:1-10</a>, is apparently the battle which is being waged against God by the forces of evil all through the history of the world, from the fall of Adam until the last judgment day. This seems certain from the description given in <a href="/revelation/19.htm">Revelation 19</a>. and 20. How, then, can it be described as the "battle of the great day"? Probably because on that day will occur the crisis, as it were, of the conflict; on that day will the issue be plainly determined, and the struggle terminated. Though the battle is proceeding daily, there is little to remind us of it; the very existence of, and necessity for, such warfare is sometimes forgotten in the daily round of life: at the last day will be plainly exhibited the nature of the incessant hostility between God and the devil, and the power of the latter will be manifested only to be visibly shattered and finally destroyed. <a href="/commentaries/revelation/16-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>[These] are εἰσὶν (eisin) Verb - Present Indicative Active - 3rd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_1510.htm">Strong's 1510: </a> I am, exist.
