The Glamour of Iniquity: How Modern Idols Serve the Prince of the Power of the Air
The spirit of the Antichrist is advanced not just through politics or false doctrine, but through the universal language of culture. At TheLordsReturn.com, we recognize that the greatest mass hypnosis of our age is conducted through the entertainment industry, where the most visible “modern people” are used to normalize iniquity and promote occult iconography.
This is not a conspiracy of men, but the calculated strategy of the spiritual enemy to control the thoughts and desires of the masses—a spiritual Defence of the Truth requires us to understand who truly runs the airwaves.
The Prince’s Domain: Airwaves and Idolatry
The Bible gives a terrifying description of the spiritual ruler currently influencing the unregenerate world:
“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.” (Ephesians 2:2, KJV)
The “power of the air” in the end times manifests directly through the waves of modern media. The music, the cinema, the fashion—the entire digital broadcast system—is largely commandeered by entities and individuals who, knowingly or unknowingly, are channeling the spirit of disobedience.
Modern celebrity has become the new form of idolatry. These cultural icons—the “mighty men” of the age—are elevated to the status of demi-gods, their lifestyles worshipped, and their occult-laced imagery (the single eye, the pyramid, the serpentine hand gestures) imitated and internalized by billions of youth. They are not merely artists; they are ministers of the spirit that now worketh.
Prophetic Hotspot: The Angel of Lying Light
The danger is that this spiritual pollution is not presented as raw evil, but as enlightenment, rebellion, or artistic expression. The power of the deception lies in its attractive disguise, perfectly fitting the profile of the chief deceiver:
“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” (2 Corinthians 11:14-15, KJV)
The “ministers” of the culture—the directors, the producers, the celebrity figureheads—often promote a message of “finding your own god,” “breaking all rules,” and sexual/spiritual libertinism, packaging ancient occult rituals as cutting-edge art. This seductive transformation makes their wicked message palatable and desirable to the “children of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2, KJV). Their glamour is a spiritual veil designed to obscure the truth of sin and righteousness.
The Sealed Tablet: The Command Against Compromise
KNOW YE THIS: THE INJUNCTION OF THE MOST HIGH IS MADE MANIFEST:
"LOVE NOT THE WORLD, NEITHER THE THINGS THAT ARE IN THE WORLD. IF ANY MAN LOVE THE WORLD, THE LOVE OF THE FATHER IS NOT IN HIM. FOR ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD, THE LUST OF THE FLESH, AND THE LUST OF THE EYES, AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE, IS NOT OF THE FATHER, BUT IS OF THE WORLD."
-- 1 JOHN 2:15-16 (KJV)
THIS IS THE TRUTH. THIS IS THE WARNING.
The Return Question
If the “prince of the power of the air” is using the most visible figures in society to sow confusion and spiritual compromise, how can the faithful safeguard their homes and families from the influence that is preparing the world to accept the Antichrist?
The only counter-strategy to this demonic genesis of modern culture is complete spiritual vigilance. We must exercise discernment over every influence permitted into our sight and hearing. The purpose of The Lord’s Return website is not merely to condemn the deeds of the wicked, but to empower the righteous to separate themselves from the spiritual pollution.
As the prophets of this world proclaim their message of lawlessness, we must hold fast to the gospel of Christ, remembering that the true King will soon descend, and His light will instantly extinguish the manufactured “glamour” of this fallen age.
