A little before midnight in July of 2015, 700 people gathered in Detroit, Michigan. It was billed as the largest public satanic ceremony in the history of America. Along with the throng of satanic worshippes was a winged, horned idol with a human body and goats head. A local pastor said, "The last thing we need in Detroit is having a welcome home party for evil."

     In August an image was designed on the Empire State Building in New York City, of the Hindu goddess, Kali, which according to one webpage, "is no different than Satan." Journalist Theodore Shoebat stated that it was "in order to convince people to worship and revere Mother Nature, which is really just a deception of getting people to worship the devil." Kali is a demon who advocates mass murder. What a shame to have something like this displayed for all to see.

     On September 12, 2015, in Washington D.C., Madonna opened her Rebel Heart Tour with the theme, "Desecration of the Bride and Arrival of Fallen Angels." The Bible refers to the Church Universal as the "bride of Christ" and teaches that fallen angels are demons. Satan is one himself. Is this concert some type of official welcome of satanic hosts?

     This is very dangerous for America. Isaiah 10:1 says, "Woe to those who enact evil statutes." They have "exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and have worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator..."(Romans 1:25). Isaiah 8:19 asks the question, "And when they say to you, 'Consult mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,' should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?" A recent headline ironically read, "Nearly 60 percent of all American Christians do not believe the Devil is real."

     However, many teens do not believe that the Devil is dead. There was a huge rise in the use of Ouija Boards after the movie "Ouija" came out. There is also a new satanic craze "game" that teens began playing recently called "Charlie, Charlie."

     So, is Satan real? Whether people think he is or isn't, Satan worship has unfortunately become a big deal in American culture. This is one more reason for God to judge America. It is another thing that is leading up to the Tribulation Period, for it says in Revelation 9:20 that during that time people will "worship demons, and the idols of gold and silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear, nor walk, and they did not repent,,,of their sorceries."

     Ask one man named Bill Wiese, if Satan and hell are real. Bill is not a wierdo spaced out on drugs. He is a successful real estate agent in southern California, whom God supernaturally transported to a literal Hell, on November 23, 1998! He saw demons and the deceased who had refused to acknowledge God while on earth. He relates his experience in his gut-wrenching book, "23 Minutes in Hell."

     There is a positive element to all of this, however. God is greater than Satan. God will severely deal with the devil in the final days, written about in Revelation. Satan was already defeated when Jesus died on the cross. He is trying to win as many battles as possible even though he will, in the end, lose the spiritual war. Who are you allowing to win the battles in your life, God or Satan?
