Physical [Moral] Fall

REVELATION 16:17, 19-21

And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the
air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of
heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And the
great city was divided into three parts, and the
cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came
in remembrance before God, to give unto her the
cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
And every island fled away, and the mountains were
not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out
of heaven, [every stone] about the weight of a talent:
and men blasphemed God because of the plague of
the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

REVELATION 16:13, 14
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. 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.

which keep the commandments of God, and have
the testimony of Jesus Christ.

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power
unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast,
saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to
make war with him? And it was given unto him to
make war with the saints, and to overcome them:
and power was given him over all kindred's, and
tongues, and nations.
 FALSE PROPHET
REVELATION 13:11-15 [An Image to the Beast]
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the
earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he
spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power
of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth
and them which dwell therein to worship the first
beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And
deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means
of] those miracles which he had power to do in the
sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the
earth, that they should make an image to the beast,
which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And
he had power to give life unto the image of the
beast, that the image of the beast should both
speak, and cause that as many as would not
worship the image of the beast should be killed.

habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul
spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful
bird.... And that ye receive not of her plagues.
