“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth” (Rev. 5:6)
"You will understand a great mystery when you see that in the book of Revelation we are shown two sets of spirits which are sent forth into the same areas and seek to control the same territory — the “seven spirits of God” and the “three spirits of devils”! Right here lies the cause of the great battle within! The seven spirits of God signify the fullness of the spirit of the Lord raised up within God’s people. This seven-fold spirit is raised up to subdue, reconcile, and redeem the whole man — spirit, soul, and body. Thus we read that the seven spirits are “sent forth into all the earth” — truly into all the earth that we are, as well as into all the earth-realm where the Lord’s people dwell!"
Much more in the link:
"But now there is another spirit — three unclean spirits like frogs — and this three-fold spirit is likewise sent forth “unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world.” This three-fold unclean spirit seeks to dominate and control the same territory of our lives where the seven-fold holy spirit has come to live and reign. The message is clear — WAR is about to break out in the “earth” of God! These spirits “go forth unto the kings (inner dominions) of the earth (carnal Christians) and of the whole world (of our beings), TO GATHER THEM TO THE BATTLE OF THAT GREAT DAY OF GOD ALMIGHTY!” Can you not see the mystery? The seven-fold spirit (of the perfection of God) comes into active conflict with the three-fold spirit (complete power of the flesh, the world, and the devil) of man’s carnal, natural life. This three-fold spirit may also be characterized as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, for these spirits go forth unto the “whole world,” and the apostle John informs us that “ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD IS the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life!"
"There are three things:
(1) The lust of the flesh
(2) The lust of the eyes
(3) The pride of life.
That’s all there is in the WHOLE WORLD!
Those three are what “THE WORLD” consists of!
Therefore, the “kings” of the “whole world” signify the ruling principles and powers of fleshly desire that influence, dominate, and control the natural and soulical religious life of man! We need to note that Armageddon is a battle among kings. The spirits of devils go forth unto “the kings” of the earth-realm and of the whole world — and that is the end of those kings!
Can we not see by this that the battle is between the flesh and the spirit, for Paul tells us plainly that “The flesh wareth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other…” (Gal. 5:17). Right there, my friend, you have your battleground — ARMAGEDDON!"
