According to the second half Revelation 13, worship is a form of religion, which is held more with conservatives as they return under the first beast of Revelation 13, a religious, world influencing entity. It is also represented by Daniel in Daniel 11, where it predicts a swing of the pendulum. "He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape" (Daniel 11:42). The word "He" refers to the King of the North (Daniel 11:40), being a religious entity, swinging down upon spiritual Egypt, which is atheism and worldliness or sin, demonstrates at some time the conservative swing will take place, where the religious power has the upperhand. Time will only tell if this statement is true. If it is, we ought to be readying to meet the mark of the beast head on.
