By the time this event unfolds on the earth, the people of the earth will have rejected Jesus as the Son of God, they will have rejected God himself. Everyone in the world, (with a very minute number of surviving believers), will be worshipping other gods, or another god namely Satan. The God of the Bible, the Father of the Holy Trinity is a very jealous God. Throughout the Bible Idol worship and Pagan religions are called Harlotry, and God declares his jealousy strongly in the book of Deuteronomy. Lets take a look at what happened there:
Deuteronomy Deuteronomy 32:13-18 15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. 16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
