This is an article that I wrote years ago, however, it still applies today, I have updated it some.
Some may not realize that ( Rev.12:9; Rev.13:3-4,8) says that the earths inhabitants would be worshiping satan the dragon in the END TIMES, through satan's deceptions.
Many people today worship, but they know not what or who, for Shaul( Paul) said "" there are lords many and gods many, and there is not in every man this knowledge.""( 1 Cor.8:5-7).
In Isaiah 65:11 is a prophecy and very interesting statement made by the Creator Yah through Isaiah the prophet, which many people have never really investigated in the original texts of scripture.
The Old King James Version has this verse translated thus... ""But ye are they that forsake " the LORD",( Note YHWH==Strongs Exhaustive Concordance, S.E.C. Heb. Num. H3050,H3068 , that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for " that troop",( Note GAD==GAWD=GOD S.E.C. Heb. Num. H1408, H1409==A Babylonian Deity called Baal Gad), and that furnish the drink offering unto "that number"( or for fortune/luck or money/riches).""

God (word) The English word god comes from the Old English god, which itself is derived from the Proto-Germanic *ǥuđán. Its cognates in other Germanic languages include guþ, gudis (both Gothic), guð (Old Norse), god (Old Saxon, Old Frisian, and Old Dutch), and got (Old High German). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_(word)#Etymology
Please read the entirety of the Etymology of the word "God" above, it is also idol worship.
It's interesting that in the English language this "gawd" is the word "God", in the German language this word is "Gott", in the Danish and Dutch it is the word "Gud" as in thee above of "Guwd" and all of these "deity words" are related above.
This Babylonian Deity called Baal/Lord Gad/God was worshiped by the children of Israel ( Joshua 11:17; 12:7; 13:5), and the true Creator Yah considered it Idolatry worship.
If you look into the "" Webster's Unabridged Deluxe Dictionary, Second Edition, Page 746, it says "" GAD, 1.IN THE BIBLE, a son of Jacob. 2. A tribe of Israel descended from him. 3. The land where this tribe lived. GAD, gad, interj. A mild oath or expression of suprise, disgust, e.t.c., A EUPHEMISM FOR GOD. ""
If you go to this Encyclopedia below and scroll down you will read that this word "gad" is an alteration of the word "god".
www.thefreedictionary.com/gad
Then, when you look at the word "" Baal"( S.E.C. Heb.Num.H1167,H1168), you will find one of its definitions is ""LORD"".
When the title of "" LORD GOD"" is transliterated back into the Hebrew, it is the same title of "" Baal Gad"", a Babylonian Deity that was condemned by YHWH.( Remember Old Eliyahuw the Prophet that faced the Baal prophets?).
This word " GOD==GAD==GAWD" is pronounced the same, and has been applied to the true Creator YHWH, even in most all the English translations of scriptures.
The true Creator spoke through Jeremiah the prophet and said this would happen in the last days..."" How long shall this be in the heart( mind) of the prophets that prophesy lies?...Which think to cause my people to FORGET MY NAME( YHWH==YAH=3050,3068, see Psalms 68:4)...as their fathers have forgotten MY NAME( YHWH==3050,3068 for (Baal Gad==LORD GOD).""( Jer.23:26-27).
Also, He says that He would remove the names( plural) of Balim( lord and god) out of their mouths( See also Hosea 2:16-17).
How about getting an early start at doing that?
Have you investigated this matter fully?
The children of Israel was condemned for such Idolatry, and the Apostle Paul said, "" There are LORDS MANY and GODS MANY, and there is not in every man this knowledge.""( 1 Cor.8:5-7).
YHWH commanded to NOT EVEN MENTION the name of other Nations deities( Exod.23:13, Joshua 23:7, Deut.5:7), and the English word " god==gad" is of pagan origin( See the Encyclopedias), even tracing back to the time of the Israelites as has been shown above.
To apply other pagan deities to YHWH is expressly forbidden, and violates the " 1st, 2nd, and 3rd" commandments( Exod.20:2-7), as most all English translations of scriptures have done.
Even Solomon sucommed to practicing of " Syncretisim", or combining pagan deities to YHWH because of his 700 wives and 300 concubines, and he too was condemned for his Idolatry( 1 Kings 11:4-5,33).
In every place that "" Ashtoroth==Astarte==Easter" was practiced, so was the worship of the Babylonian deity called "" Baal Gad=Lord God""( Judges 2:11,13, 1 Kings 11:33), and it was condemned by YHWH= YAH.
The word "god" in English comes from the Old German ""Gott, Guth"", which originated from worship of tarus the bull( See All Encyclopedias especially the Britannica of the word "god"), and originally goes back to the Babylonian deity in Isaiah 65:11.
So did Solomon " think there was nothing wrong" with combining pagan deities to YHWH either, but YAH certainly did think it was wrong, and this resulted in rending the Kingdom from him, and the split of the Kingdom, and the rejection of Solomon.
Question : Is it ok( in Yah's eyes) for Muslims to combine their "" Alah"( as their god=deity) to YHWH?
There are many examples in scriptures where the children of Israel were taken captive by other nations for practicing " syncretisim" of pagan deities to YHWH.
In ( Acts 14:12-15) of the pagan Jupiter, which is another example of combining pagan deities to YHWH, but to the Romans, Jupiter was the supreme being, but he was NOT the supreme being according to Paul either.
It may not seem to make a difference to human beings, but it certainly does make a difference to YHWH, as His Word absolutely proves that it does matter.
The Hebrew words " EL" and " Elohim" existed long BEFORE( According to scriptures) and it was originally a pure word title applied to YAH; but pagan cultures adopted it and applied it to their deities; but the word " gad=god" was used exclusively to a pagan Babylonian deity of Baal( =lord) Gad(=gawd- god), and used for worship of taurus the bull( See Encyclopedias).
Inspite of what commentaries, lexicons, e.t.c. say, the word " god= gad" is not a correct transliteration from the word " EL" in Hebrew.
The Titles of " EL and Elohim" was originally pure Titles applied to YAH, but the word " god=gad" was and is applied to a Babylonian deity, which is condemned in ( Isaiah 65:11).
In ( Jer.8:8) it was prophesied that the scribes and translators would alter the scriptures texts.
And an example of that is by comparing N.T. texts as quoted from the original scriptures, with that of the O.T.texts.
Example of alteration of the name of Yah H3050, H3068 from Hebrew to Greek to English is as follows below.
In the ( O.K.J.V.) of ( Matt.4:4; Luke 4:4) where Messiah said ""...but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of "" GOD( English)"", and "" Theos( Greek)"".
Here above, the Messiah quoted( compare) from ( Deuteronomy.8:3)
which should read, "" .... but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of "" THE LORD"( K.J.V.)( =S.E.C. Heb.Numbs. H3050,H3068==YAH) doth man live.""
Why is the word "" god"" used in ( Matt.4:4; Luke 4:4) and the word "" LORD" is used in ( Deut.8:3), but both leave out the true name of YHWH=YAH( 3050,3068)??
The Greeks used their " deity" of " Theos" in translation, and the English merely used theirs of "" God"", but the original text says "" YHWH=YAH "( H3050, H3068).
This is one prime example of alteration and syncretisim, and covering up the true Creator's name Yah with pagan titles in other cultures languages.
To the Greeks and Romans, their " Theos deity" was Zeus and Jupiter, not the true Creator YHWH=YAH, and whenever the scriptures were translated into other cultures languages, the translators merely inserted their own local " deity" in place of the true Name of YAH.
This may come as an EYE OPENER and a shock to many, but the Book of Revelation says that in the last days the whole earth would be worshiping satan the devil( See Rev.12:9; Rev.13:3-4,8; Rev.13:8) through his deceptions.
Now do you think that traditional Christianity is not deceived too? People better think again.
Paul certainly NEVER used the pagan title of " theos", because Paul admitted that he observed the entirety of the law( Acts 24:14), and that would include ( Exod.20:2-7; Exod.23:13, Deut.5:7).
Also, Paul was against their " pagan theos of Jupiter" in ( Acts 14:11-15).
Is it any wonder that Revelation 17:5 speaks of a great religious whore named BABYLON THE GREAT, and that we are told to come out of her in Revelation 18:4?
But, no matter how much proof from scriptures that is given to people, and even examples such as Solomon that practiced " syncretisim", which was, and still is prohibited and condemned by YHWH, people will still do what they see right in their own eyes.
I do believe that there are honest people out there, and those who are truly TRUTH SEEKERS will eventually see this truth, and correct themselves accordingly.
Otherwise, how could satan the devil deceive the whole world and its inhabitants into worshiping him in THE END TIMES( Rev.12:9; Rev.13:3-4, 8, 11) ? Think about it.. and pray about it.
