They symbolize Satan's deceptive communications to gather the world's armies for Armageddon.
Les Feldick teaches that the frogs are not literal creatures but symbolic of messages issuing from Satan, who indwells the Antichrist. These messages go out to national leaders, calling their armies to the Middle East. This gathering culminates in the battle of the great day of God Almighty, which is Satan's final attempt to destroy Israel and wage war against Christ.
Revelation 16:13 — This verse directly describes the unclean spirits like frogs coming from the mouths of the dragon, beast, and false prophet.
Revelation 16:14 — Explains these spirits are demons working miracles to gather the kings of the earth for battle.
In Revelation 16:13, John writes, "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." The next verse clarifies their nature: "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." These spirits are demonic and are actively gathering the world's rulers for a final confrontation. The imagery of frogs from mouths underscores that they are messages or summons, not literal animals.
Les Feldick explains that the unclean spirits like frogs are entirely symbolic. They represent communications emanating from Satan, who is indwelling the Antichrist. Through these spirits, Satan contacts the national leaders still in place around the world, calling their armies to the Middle East. This is part of the final gathering at Armageddon, which Les sees as Satan's attempt to annihilate the Jewish people, but it ultimately results in his final war against Christ. He ties this to the dryinng up of the Euphrates (Revelation 16:12), enabling millions from the east to join the conflict.
The dragon is Satan, who gives power and authority to the Antichrist. Les notes that Satan will indwell the Antichrist, controlling him as he did Judas. The frog-like spirits coming from the dragon's mouth symbolize the deceptive communications that go out to the world's leaders.
Their purpose is to gather the kings of the earth and the whole world for the battle of the great day of God Almighty. Les describes this as Satan calling for armies to come to the Middle East to get rid of the Jewish people, likening it to Hitler's 'final solution.'

Frogs as Communications
Les explains that the frogs are symbolic of Satan's communications, not literal creatures, and that they call the world's armies to Armageddon.
Satan's Indwelling of Antichrist
Les connects the frogs to Satan indwelling the Antichrist and contacting world leaders to bring their armies to the Middle East, with the goal of destroying the Jews.
The Abomination of Desolation: Why Israel Must Flee (Matthew 24)
When Satan entered in and literally took over the man Judas and used him, so also he will do with the Antichrist. He will indwell him, he will control him, and so now when Satan, in the man Antichrist, sees this escaping group of Jews, probably quite a few thousand of them, what does he do? Well, just like Pharaoh did, he sent an army after the escaping Jews from Egypt, didn't he? All right, now r…
Satan's Power Over the Beast
Les notes that Satan gives power to the beast (Antichrist), explaining how the dragon's authority flows to him.
The Abomination of Desolation: Why Israel Must Flee (Matthew 24)
Now, you have to always remember that Revelation is speaking in symbolic language. Now just as sure as Pharaoh, when he saw Israel escaping, what did he send after them? Well, not a flood of water, but an armed force, and the Antichrist will do the same thing.
What Does "Babylon the Great" Really Mean in Revelation 18?
And we'll just go a few verses here, and then we have to go back to the Old Testament again. Revelation chapter 18, beginning at verse 1. So after these things, in other words after all the cataclysmic events that have been taking place, including of course the demise of the Antichrist, and all the armies of the world, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth wa…
The Antichrist Revealed: What Revelation 13 Really Says
So anyway, he sees come on the sand of the sea. Now the sea, in symbolic language here, is just simply the sea of humanity, the masses of people around the globe. And remember, the world is getting global. That's the word you hear and see all the time lately. It's just becoming smaller and smaller.
Revelation 16:13: 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.
This is the key verse describing the unclean spirits.
Revelation 16:14: For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
This verse explains the nature and purpose of these spirits.
Revelation 16:12: And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Les refers to this verse as the context for the frogs, as the drying up of the Euphrates precedes the gathering.
No, Les Feldick teaches they are purely symbolic. They represent deceptive communications from Satan, not actual frogs.
They are demonic spirits that work miracles and go out to gather the kings of the earth for the final battle at Armageddon.
