Revelation 13:4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
Let's look back a little. The earth has gone through some horrible changes. There has been war, famine, plagues, earthquake, meteor showers, a meteor, and a comet. The day has even grown short.
There have been two people that called a spade a spade. The pointed out every sin people were happy to enjoy in their lives. They were so disliked that the people threw a party when they were murdered. Then in front of everyone.... they got up and went up to the clouds.
Now this beast shows up.... obviously it's been fatally wounded. One of it's heads has been bashed in. Yet it lives.
There's no one there on earth to tell the people the truth. The 144,000 Jews are gathering the Jews in Israel but no one is preaching Christ Crucified in the Churches. I'll bet the internet is down and hard copy Bibles are hard to come by, even if there are people who are searching for Christ.
In comes this beast. Capable of ending war, brokering peace, and capable of bringing what appears to be peace, this "beast" is all there is for the pagans to worship. The humans probably don't even realize that they are worshiping Satan. Humans are grasping at straws to save themselves. This beast, in their eyes, is wonderful.
If this thing can't be killed then why bother waging war against it? If this thing might bring peace to the world, then why wouldn't humans worship it?
