The co-producer of Left Behind says God isn’t coming back to make war on ordinary people. His enemy is the dragon, and everyone who has taken the dragon’s mark.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario, Canada, Oct. 13, 2026 /Standard Newswire/ — Revelation names three end-times figures: the beast, the false prophet, and the dragon who gives them “his power, and his seat, and great authority” (Revelation 13:2). “There’s been too much talk about his bagmen,” says Peter Lalonde, who co-produced the original Left Behind films.
Lalonde says the battle began before time and will end with the same two adversaries. So, who is God fighting at Armageddon?
A planet full of demon-possessed Satan worshippers
Lalonde makes his case in The Case Against Satan, a free courtroom-style series at peterlalonde.com. Revelation calls Satan the one “which deceiveth the whole world” (12:9), and says “all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon” (13:3–4). When the first bowl of God’s wrath is poured out, it falls “upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image” (16:2). Lalonde argues that God’s wrath may not fall on ordinary unbelievers, but on a world largely full of demon-possessed Satan worshippers.
He’s not alone. The late Dr. John F. Walvoord, longtime president of Dallas Theological Seminary, wrote that in the Tribulation, “for the first time in history all those who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour will come under demonic possession and affliction.” Lalonde believes the mark of the beast is where that line is crossed.
“We’ve always pictured Armageddon as God against people,” Lalonde said. “But if the mark is a sign of allegiance to the devil, from which there’s no return, the army lined up against Christ isn’t just people anymore.”
