13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

A. John next sees three unclean spirits. They are like frogs.

B. NOTE: If the battle described here is literal, then the generals of the army are frogs.

C. Here is another parallel with the plagues of Egypt - frogs. These frogs come directly from the mouth of the dragon, who is Satan. They come from the mouth of the beast (civil governmental power) and from the mouth of the false prophet (second beast of chapter 13).

D. Here are the three “generals” in Satan’s army. Satan = evil personified; Beast = persecuting governments; False prophet = false religions. When you combine these three together you have the ways in which Satan seeks to harm, kill, persecute, destroy, and eliminate Christians.
