Question
Hello,
In revelations it talks about three unclean spirits coming out of the mouth of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet and that they are to perform miracles. Does this mean the spirits will perform miracles FOR the dragon, beast and false prophet or does it just mean the dragon, beast and false prophet will perform the miralces themselves?
Also in zechariah 13:2 it mentions unclean spirits being removed from the land when Jesus was crucified. Does this mean the unclean spirits were no longer allowed to perform miracles until the time of revelation, like it says in revelations 16:13?

Thankou for your time and help,
Alice

This is a very deep search very few people notice this deep Theology. Congrats. to the question:

The term unclean spirits doesn't always mean a devil or demon. Even though it is believed to be representations of that particular person but a representative with malice in mind. In Bible days to pass your breath over to someone is a representation of giving that person a part of your self. So essentially instead of you going you send someone who is like you or "your breath". God breathed into man, Elisha breathed into the boy.

Also unclean spirits are false representations of God so all throughout the Bible you see a woman with an unclean spirit prophesying, another working miracles and so.

Basically if you are the leader you would send an ambassador but that ambassador would be more like a son or daughter in the sense that they are like you.

Now as far as Zech. is concerned. Hell Earth and Heaven affected by the death of Christ. Satan who once had access (as seen in JOB 1) to heaven no longer does. Hell lost a lot of people as the rose from the grave. Unclean spirits were released from people. The temple curtain tore, the sky went black, yes it was indeed a big day.

Man desires to rule it is our nature (hence all the wars)that is what we were made to do. So with the demons sway of granting power and authority all who desire it more than God chase down this facade and thus have unclean spirits today. The miracles that these unclean spirits will perform will have to be better than any the Christians have done in order for the world leaders to follow them.
