Pre-Article Disclaimer for Newer Readers: If you are reading this blog for the first time or are not totally familiar with my work, I am a 100% Christian writer who analyzes things from a Christian point of view. I sometimes research into what the spiritual forces of evil are up to in hopes of gleaning information to help us Christians figure out what is going on or to figure out what Satan has planned. You can read more about why I dare consider these unbiblical sources at the following link Now on to the article...
I spent much of my weekend reviewing a lot New Age sources in hopes of uncovering something new about the spiritual forces of evil’s plans in the present and in the future. I found some interesting tidbits of information which I plan to share in the coming days. Today I want to share some things Helena Blavatsky, the founder of modern day of occultism and a woman who worked under the direction of several Ascended Masters (a group of spiritual beings mentioned in Ephesians 6:12 as the “spiritual wickedness in high places”), wrote that might explain how Revelation 13:4 could be fulfilled in the coming one-world religion of Antichrist. Revelation 13:4 states that people will worship the dragon (Satan-Revelation 12:9) and along with the beast:
- Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Author Lee Penn wrote a book called the False Dawn which is an exposé on the ongoing work to bring a one-world religion. Chapter 10 of Penn’s book is about how Blavatsky’s work serves as the underpinning of the New Age Movement and how Blavatsky predicted the coming of a one-world religion. In his section about what Blavatsky wrote concerning the coming of a one-world religion, Penn cites Blavatsky’s book Isis Unveiled where she proclaimed: “religion of the ancients is the religion of the future”.[1] Penn further researched how Blavatsky characterized the “religion of the ancients” and found that Blavatsky connected the “religion of the ancients” with dragon and sun worship.[2] The following Blavatsky quote used by Penn illustrates how she found dragon and sun worship connected with the “religion of the ancients”.[3] [4]
The tradition of the Dragon and the Sun is echoed in every part of the world, both in its civilized and semi-savage regions. It took rise in the whisperings about secret initiations among the profane, and was established universally through the once universal heliolatrous religion. There was a time when the four parts of the world were covered with the temples sacred to the Sun and the Dragon; but the cult is now preserved mostly in China and the Buddhist countries. … We find (a) the priests assuming the name of the gods they served; (b) the ‘Dragons’ held throughout all antiquity as the symbols of Immortality and Wisdom, of secret Knowledge and of Eternity; and (c) the hierophants of Egypt, of Babylon, and India, styling themselves generally the ‘sons of the Dragon’ and ‘Serpents;’ thus the teachings of the Secret Doctrine are thereby corroborated.” [5]
The "dragon" is connected with Satan in another section of Blavatsky’s writings (Blavatsky actually praised Satan in her works-a topic that I may discuss more in-depth in a separate article). Thus, I do not disagree with Penn’s suggestion that Blavatsky predicted the literal fulfillment of Revelation 13:4.
I checked the works of Alice Bailey and Benjamin Creme for information concerning future dragon worship. I did not find anything concerning this in their works so one wonders if this is something they want to keep quiet, if Satan’s plan has changed, or there is something else going on... However, Revelation 13:4 is explicitly clear that the dragon (Satan) will be worshipped during the End Times so the idea that there could be literal “dragon worship” cannot be ruled out.
- Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
I know virtually every reader already understands that Satan is going to be worshipped in the upcoming one-world religion. What I wanted to show again in this article is that this New Age/one world religious system that others and I warn about is not your ordinary set of false teachings. This religious system is so diabolical that it may encourage followers to literally worship the dragon as perhaps its most important messenger (Blavatsky) suggested that literal dragon worship could take place when the “religion of the ancients” (the New Age religious system/Babylon the Great) returns.

[4] To be fair, Penn’s footnotes includes an e-mail response from a man named Charles Upton who criticizes Blavatsky engagement in “comparative religion at its absolute worst”. He believes Blavatsky’s statement inaccurately links the dragon of the East and the dragon of the West as the same entity.
