Unmasking the Darkness: The Spiritual War Behind Hollywood, Politics, and Religion

Dave Robbins: On today’s “Endtime Show,” we’re unmasking
the truth behind a world that glitters with fame, with power
and religion, but beneath it all, a spiritual war rages for
the soul of humanity.
Ephesians chapter 6, verse 12 reminds us in our fight, it’s
not against flesh and blood, but against rulers of darkness, you
know, from Hollywood to politics to even the pulpit, the
enemy deceives.
But there is hope because the light of God’s Word exposes the
darkness and shows the path to victory.

Dave: Good afternoon everybody.
I’m Dave Robbins with Endtime Ministries, and I thank you so
much for joining me on this edition of “The Endtime Show.”
You know, for years, people have speculated that globalist
politicians, elite power brokers, and media moguls, that
they’re somehow tied to dark occultic influences working
behind the scenes to control the masses.
And what once sounded like conspiracy, a conspiracy theory,
now seems to echo in the headlines of our time.
And it’s really an unsettling mix of corruption, deception, a
spiritual manipulation hidden beneath politics, even the
entertainment sphere, and even religion.
And you’ve heard about different meetings and different secret
societies, the Bohemian Grove, all of these different things,
and it’s like a beach ball, you know it’s there, but you just
can’t put your fingers on it, right?
And a lot of people are speculating about this.
Well, the Bible tells us this isn’t just a human ambition,
it’s not a figment of somebody’s imagination, it’s part of a much
larger spiritual conflict.
Spiritual conflicts everybody, are very, very real.
I know that there are people that would like to make light of
things like that and say, no, you know, that’s just all a
figment of somebody’s imagination, but I’m gonna show
you from Scripture, even Ephesians 6:12, it says, “We
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities and powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world.
So there is spiritual undertones and there’s the spirit world,
there’s a dark spirit world that’s working behind a lot
of this.
This is not ancient history.
It’s happening right now.
Hollywood, politics, and even religions, these are
battlefields where Satan seeks to deceive, to corrupt, and
to control.
And today we’re going to shine the light of Scripture on
those battlegrounds.
Now, recently, I watched a video between Tucker Carlson and a guy
named Conrad Flynn.
And in the video it shows where the mainstream media, Tucker
Carlson, a global journalist, okay, very, a very sought after
social media influencer, got millions of subscribers to
his channel.
And a global journalist.
Well, he’s talking about in this video with Conrad Flynn, these
darkness in high places and spiritual things at work and
demonic influences and all that kind of stuff.
So to have a guy like this who very secular start talking about
this kind of stuff used to, everybody said oh
conspiracy theory.
But now it’s the headlines.
And so I’m gonna prove that to everybody here and show what the
Bible talks about all this because this is very
prophetic, everybody.
So I want you to see a clip from this video from Tucker Carlson
and Conrad Flynn.
Tucker Carlson: I remember the first time somebody said to me
during an interview that something or other was demonic,
used the word demonic.
Cannot have been more than six years ago when I was completely
shocked that someone would use that term because it’s not a
political term.
It doesn’t even describe like any human social interaction.
It’s a spiritual term, and I just was not used to people
using spiritual terms to describe social movements or
political developments or whatever.
But I think in that time in the last six years, things have
really changed and I hear it all the time.
It’s demonic, they’re demons.
There is this sense that there’s a spiritual underpinning that
there’s something going on beneath the surface in American
society and in the world that’s affecting outcomes and affecting
populations and like there’s a spiritual war in progress.
You, and I hope you’ll explain this, and I’ll get out of the
way in a second, but you kind of stumbled into an extended
research project on this topic.
Are there actual occult connections to Hollywood, to
political figures, to technological advances, to the
leaders of our society, or some of them actually practicing
occult religion?
Conrad Flynn: Yeah, Tucker, it’s about as weird as you said, some
would say, I think we’re gonna find out even weirder.
Dave: So there you have a clip, and that’s from the interview
that I watched.
You can go watch it.
It’s the Tucker Carlson Conrad Flynn interview as well.
It’s on YouTube and different places.
And Folks, what they’re talking about is, you know, again, used
to be absolute conspiracy theory.
Tucker Carlson has done this for decades and yet he says, you
know, there’s something about the last five, six years here
where I’ve had people start coming to me with, this is
demonic, and this guy has a demon and all these other
things, and he said, “It happens all the time.”
And well, if you know anything about Bible prophecy, folks,
this, this spirit world that’s at work, a dark spirit world,
it’s very, very prophetic.
And if we look at Revelation 13, you know, after prophesying
about an end time world government, the federalization
of nations, the body of the leopard, Germany, the feet of
the bear, Russia, mouth of the lion, Great Britain, the ten
horns of the ten horned Kingdom, which is the European Union, a
European centered world governing body.
Revelation says about this world government in the end time, the
United Nations is the seat of this world government in the
earth today.
The anti-Christ will eventually usurp authority over this world
governing body.
This is Bible prophecy 101.
Revelation says that this entity will receive its power, seat,
and great authority from the dragon or Satan himself.
So we know the prophecies of the Bible always come to pass,
don’t we?
And so this is not conspiracy theory.
This is not some kind of a, you know, allegory or some kind of a
myth and fairy tale.
There’s gonna be a world government in the end time, and
Satan will be the principal driver himself behind
that entity.
He’s trying to establish his physical kingdom on the earth, a
world religion, a world government, and a global
economic sanctioning system to force people into compliance
with that.
That’s Satan’s physical kingdom here on the earth.
Our program originally when my father-in-law Irvine Baxter went
on the radio back in 1998, was called “Politics and Religion.”
And the opening to that program, he would say, “Politics is
Satan’s method of ruling the world.
The church is God’s method of ruling the world.”
These are two things you don’t talk about, politics
and religion.
I think it’s about time we talk about it.
So he was saying politics was Satan’s method of ruling
the world.
That’s why it’s so horribly corrupt.
Well, that’s what we’re talking about here today.
Satan, Satan’s influence on politics, Hollywood, religion,
it’s this, the dark world.
It’s exactly what Tucker Carlson, was talking about here
in this interview.
Revelation 13 goes on to say that the leader of the end time
world religion will derive its power from Satan as well.
It says that he will exercise all the power of the first beast
before him which comes from Satan.
So again, very important, the endtime world government and the
endtime world religion will derive their authority and power
from Satan himself.
So this interview that I watched when he says, you know, over the
last six years people are saying this individual, this
politician, this person from Hollywood, they are tied to an
occult and these different types of religions that are
not biblical.
Well, I’m sitting back here saying, we’re watching–this is
the fulfillment of Bible prophecy right before our
very eyes.
Another thing that I wanted to mention here was that at the
sixth vial of the wrath of God, Revelation 16, it says, “And I
saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of
the dragon or Satan out of the mouth of the beast, the
anti-Christ, and out of the mouth of the false prophet,”
this end time leader that is over the world religious system.
It says, “For they are spirits of devils.”
You say, hold on, you said this one guy was over the world
religious system.
And the Bible says that he had spirits of devils, a deceptive
message, and they were spirits of devils working miracles which
go forth out to the kings of the earth of the whole world to
gather them to battle–to the battle of that great day of
God Almighty.
He’s talking about the battle of Armageddon.
So in the end time, the anti-Christ, false prophet, and
Satan himself will have deceptive messages going forth
to influence the leaders of the world to come down against
Israel to battle.
And it’s the deceptive message of Satan.
That’s all Satan has.
He has a deceptive message.
From the very beginning, he’s been very influential in using
that deceptive message to turn the majority of humanity against
God or away from God.
And so this is what Tucker Carlson and Conrad Flynn and
these guys are talking about.
They’re saying, you know, something, Tucker Carlson did–
this used to be conspiracy theory, but he said over the
last five, six years, I’ve had so many people coming to me
saying, “These people are part of an occult and they’ve got
this,” and he said, “They’re not wrong.”
He knows the people, and he knows a lot of them–they bring
up people named–there were different demonic occultic
people, Anton LaVey, and I think Austin Crowley or people
like that, and I think that was the guy’s name, that were
influential with people in the music industry and different
leaders and different things, and people connected themselves
with these guys.
Alastair Crowley was the guy’s name.
And so they go through some of this in the interview.
Well, I wanted to talk about some of this today because it’s
very, very prophetic and it lets us know we’re right here in the
end time because there is a huge–follow some of your news
and you’ll see that there is a lot of these people that are
influential in our society are connected to occultic influences
and different things and there’s many things, not just the
occult, but there are people that have got off into spirit
guides and all kinds of different things that are
leading them away from the gospel of Jesus Christ and the
Bible into things that they shouldn’t be a part of, but
Satan is influencing people.
Dave: Many people argue America is not mentioned in the
prophecies of the Bible.
♪♪♪
But they will miss so much about the coming events that will
happen in the end time if they don’t get that understanding.
♪♪♪
What do these beasts symbolize?
That’s what we need to answer because if we can’t understand
what these beasts symbolize, there’s no point in even
studying this, right?
If you don’t believe that America is mentioned in the
Bible, you’re gonna be stuck when it comes to figuring out
all these prophecies.
But once you understand this, America has a prophesied future.
It’s given to us in the Bible and the America will not be part
of the world government, but we’re gonna be protecting Israel
against the world government all the way to the Second Coming of
Jesus Christ.

Dave: Let’s talk about the power of influence.
Let me ask you a question.
All of us that live here in America, is
Hollywood influential?
Man, you better believe it is, and I’m not saying for the good,
but it’s very influential.
Hollywood is more than just lights, cameras, and
action, right?
Hollywood is a pulpit.
If you don’t understand this, you’re kind of not
following stuff.
It’s a pulpit that when they’re–many of them are very,
very liberal and they use their awards programs to push these
liberal viewpoints.
And so it’s a pulpit for them.
They know these Hollywood people that many people worship them,
and so when they say something, well, it’s got to be
right, right?
The fact is they’re using them is they’re kind of bought and
paid for messengers of a certain message.
And so the entertainment industry has become one of the
most powerful tools in shaping what people think, how people
feel, how people live, how–women think, “Well, I can
only be pretty if I look like this actress,” or if, you know,
if I’m–and that simply is not true.
So think about it, movies and shows that glorify witchcraft
and the occult, they’re presented as fun, harmless
entertainment, bewitched.
Back in the 70s, “Bewitched,” she wiggled her nose and things
happened, but she was a witch.
And yet, back in the 70s, everybody was kind of being led
down a path of, well, it might be okay to be a witch.
You say, Dave, you’re taking this too far.
I absolutely am not taking it too far.
I’m not–probably not taking it far enough.
Because you don’t need to be a part of any of this kind of
stuff, you say, “Well that bewitched was totally harmless.”
Really, now look at where they’re out on TV and they’re
pushing full on witches doing all kinds of stuff in horror
movies and just you name it.
And you know, these characters that once clearly seen as evil
are now reimagined as they’re just misunderstood heroes now.
I want you to consider something.
There was a television drama, the name of it was “Lucifer.”
And it was spiritually dangerous.
It portrayed Satan as charming, sympathetic, even heroic.
The show turned the devil into a likable figure, cool, kind of
witty, irresistible.
Now, I’ve never watched it, but this is a stuff I’ve
been reading.
The guy’s name was Lucifer Morningstar, and the
show portrayed him as a good guy, God’s messenger, well,
the angel of Amenadiel,
He arrived to persuade Satan back to the underworld, but
instead the series framed Lucifer as that he’s
just misunderstood.
Instead of the enemy of everybody’s soul that has ever
lived, he wants to see you and your family die and go to hell
and burn for eternity, that Lucifer, but yet this program
from Hollywood put him out as Satan’s just misunderstood.
He questioned whether he would–Satan in the show
questioned whether he was truly evil or simply, get this,
condemned by God’s decree, subtly challenging biblical
truths about good, evil, and God’s authority, okay?
Now, somebody lost their fear of God at some point to even put
this kind of stuff together.
But the program included graphic violence, sexualized content,
and demonic characters, all packaged with the message that
Lucifer was not wicked but just wrongly judged.
And, you know, everybody, this dangerous glamorization of
Satan, that’s leading viewers to sympathize with the enemy of God
who is also the enemy of your soul, he wants to see you and
your family, your children die and go to hell for eternity.
Satan is trying to separate you from God all the way from the
beginning with Adam and Eve.
And will I ever sympathize him?
Absolutely no, I will not, but this is what Hollywood
is pushing.
And, you know, this is basically darkness and it’s being wrapped
in glitter and sold as empowerment.
And, you know, I look like a certain actress or an actor, so
I must be, have a place in society.
I must be successful because I look a certain way.
And millions of people young and old are consuming it without
realizing they’re being discipled not by Christ, but by
a counterfeit spirit.
Music too, it’s more than just sound waves.
I mean, concerts and award shows are increasingly displaying
occult symbols and ritualistic imagery.
People putting fake blood all over them and on the walls and
all kinds of things.
And lyrics that celebrate violence, lust, rebellion became
anthems that people repeat over and over.
AC/DC’s, “Highway to Hell.”
“I’m on the highway to hell,” and everybody sings that like
it’s just an old chorus in a church.
But think about that, the highway to hell?
And then what it’s doing, they sing it over and over and it’s
seeding ideas deep into their hearts.
Well, maybe hell’s not so bad.
Maybe it will be a party and all my friends will be there.
And folks, hell is eternal damnation where the Bible says
“The worm will not die and the fire is not quenched.”
It is eternal torment.
The Bible says in Revelation 14, “The smoke of their torment
ascendeth up ever and ever.”
So what used to be shocking is now mainstream and that’s
Satan’s goal, that’s Satan’s influence in Hollywood.
Isaiah 5:20 warns us, “Woe to those who call evil good and
good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.
That’s Hollywood’s stage today and Satan just sits back and
claps, yes, good job, everybody.
But remember, it’s not just about entertainment, it is
about influence.
And influence shapes the soul.
Think about this, the influence, what you eat is what you become.
What you consume is what you become.
And if you consume Hollywood and and all of that and just feed on
it and worship the actors, then you can go down that road and
don’t even know you’re there.
Okay, what am I talking about?
I’m talking about, we’re not warring against flesh and
blood, everybody.
There is a spiritual wickedness in high places that is–that’s
what we’re warring against.
It’s pushing Hollywood, it’s pushing politics, it’s pushing
the false religion in the end time.
And we–and a Christian should not want to be
part of any of that.
And so it’s very, very important that we talk about these
things today.
Many people won’t even talk about them, but somebody’s gotta
ward–somebody’s gotta stand there and say, “Look, this
avenue, this thoroughfare leads to life in eternal damnation.”
There are people that are actually talking today, that
would say heaven–I heard about somebody the other day that
taught that there’s no physical heaven and there’s no
physical hell.
That people won’t go to hell.
And I thought, “Have you not read your Bible?”
The thing is, folks, there’s an enemy that wants to see you burn
in hell for eternity.
We need to talk about it, because I don’t want anybody to
go there.
I know certainly Jesus Christ, much more than me doesn’t want
anybody to go there.
And but as an ambassador of Jesus Christ, we’ve got to
proclaim the truth.
Okay, so with that said, we’ll do a little more of a deep dive
into that here in just a moment.
Now, this global–this darkness, and I know this all seems, you
know, to some, scary doom and gloom, but I’m not gonna end the
program like that, because I know that if you’ve got your
hand in the Lord’s hand, if Jesus is your Lord and Savior,
you’ve been born again, everything’s gonna–you can walk
right through this stuff won’t even faze you.
But there are–this is coming on people’s radar.
And Tucker Carlson and them, he was like, “You know, for the
last six years I’ve had people telling me this,” and he said,
“Wow, used to be conspiracy theory, but now it’s the
headlines,” right?
And so that’s what I wanna talk about because everybody’s
starting to recognize there’s a spiritual warfare going on here
and some of these old secret societies and the occultic stuff
that these politicians in Hollywood and some of the
religions are getting involved with, it’s very, very real.
It’s not conspiracy theory, it’s headlines today.
This person was involved with the occult and this
influenced them.
It’s been happening for decades.
So let’s talk about politics and government, and let’s talk about
the battle for not just influence, but absolute control.
We are watching in real time as governments around the world
move toward increasing control over people’s lives.
It’s not a government of the people, by the people, and for
the people.
It’s government of the elite, by the elite, for the elite.
And you know, surveillance systems, think about that.
To track citizens’ movements, every single thing they do,
electronic ledgers, they wanna get control of your bank
account, they wanna control how much food and what kind of food
you consume, what kind of products, what kind–how much
electricity you consume, everything.
They wanna control every single aspect of your life to when they
speak, you need to bow down as a feudal pledge of allegiance.
Economies are being steered toward digital currencies that
could one day regulate what people can buy or sell.
This is real world 2025.
Revelation 13 tells us of a time when no one will be able to
participate in the economy without submitting to a
global system.
And we’re watching the foundation of that prophecy
being laid before our very eyes.
My entire conferences at every venue next year will be on the
global economic cabal that’s already established.
AI is managing much of the banking system already.
They’ve got algorithms set up to approve a loan if you go in
rather than a banker or a loan officer.
Now they have algorithms where AI would approve the loan.
And it’s not just about economics, everybody, laws are
being passed that redefine morality, marriage, family, and
even gender.
They’re being reshaped to fit human desires rather than
God’s design.
And what God created in Genesis 1:27, Bible says, “God created
he male and female in his image,” it’s now being
questioned, blurred, and even redefined.
female: A reminder of the breaking news this hour, at
least 22 people are reported to have died in a strike in Gaza.
Dave: The rise of Islam.
male: I’m trying to bring answers for so many
families desperately.
Dave: Is the Israel Hamas Iran conflict World War III?
So let’s talk about the four horsemen.
What do these horses symbolize?
“These are the four spirits of the heavens which go forth from
standing before the Lord of all the earth.”
In the end time, the true people of God will not be weak, anemic,
and defeated.
These prophesied events are revealing, we are quickly
approaching the time of the Great Tribulation right now.
