What Does A Frog Mean In The Bible

Frogs are mentioned several times in the Bible, particularly in the Old Testament. In general, frogs are seen as unclean animals and are often associated with plagues and irrational situations.

Here are some examples of what frogs represent in the Bible:

  1. Plagues: In the book of Exodus, God sends a plague of frogs as a punishment to Pharaoh and the Egyptians. The frogs overran Egypt and caused destruction and distress.
  2. Impurity: In Leviticus 11:10, frogs are listed among the unclean animals that the Israelites were forbidden to eat, along with other animals such as pigs and vultures.
  3. Lack of discernment and wisdom: In Psalms 78:45, the frogs are described as not having the ability to discern between right and wrong, which is used as a metaphor for a lack of understanding or wisdom.
  4. Demonic spirits: In the book of Revelation, frogs are depicted as coming out of the mouth of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet (Revelation 16:13), and they are described as spirits of demons.
