Don’t Worship the Beast! | Ariel Blumenthal

About this sermon

Picking up from last week’s teaching, A Bad Day?!, Ariel Blumenthal connects the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3 with the warning of Revelation 13 and the coming pressure to worship the beast. Rather than speaking in theory, he lays out a clear and practical plan for how believers can stand firm in a world shaped by constant messaging, cultural pressure, and spiritual deception. From guarding your time in prayer and Scripture to breaking free from the grip of algorithms and groupthink, this message offers concrete steps for building resilient faith. If you want to know how to prepare now so you are not swept away later, this teaching provides both clarity and courage.
