John also saw that the entire world would worship Satan along with the Antichrist: “And they worshipped the dragon [that old serpent...the Devil, and Satan— (Revelation:12:9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
See All...)] which gave power unto the beast [Antichrist]; and they worshipped the beast” (13:4). Such a prophecy would have seemed unbelievable in previous generations but not so in our day. Hard-core Satanism has been called “the fastest-growing subculture among America’s teens.” Satanists have their own chaplains in the U.S. Armed Forces and are protected under freedom-of-religion laws. The accelerating explosion of Satanism worldwide is a phenomenon peculiar to our time, making the thought of the world worshiping Satan far more plausible than in past generations.
