Have recently read Return of the Gods.

It is about Baal, Astoreth, and Molech.

I always thought of these as statue gods. Basically, a statue being worshipped. No more powerful than a rock or dead branch.

The book delves into the spirit (think demonic entity) behind the statue.

This I have to admit, blew me away. It should not have, but it did.

When ever Jesus exorcised a person who was demon possessed, it was clear that a demon was being cast out and that the demon was not Satan, but one of his minions.

Why couldn't the worship of Baal, Astoreth, Moloch be one of Satan's higher up minions? A graven image of the minion, demonic entity, spirit was used to represent the entity.

I had not thought along these lines before.

According to the book's author, these demonic entities have returned in full force just with a different outward face/form.

Astoreth is a god that can be both female and male. Sometimes having relations with the opposite sex, some times the same sex. Astoreth would be depicted in ancient manuscripts using a rainbow in the sky as part of vengeful destruction about to happen. LGBT Agenda?

Moloch is the god that grants blessings to those that offer their children to him as a sacrifice. Abortion?

Baal is all about materialism and is often depicted as a bull. Ever wonder why it's referred to as a bull market?

The author posits that these demonic entities have returned (or come out of the shadows) with a vengeance to wreak havoc. The author cites Biblical sources as well as a number of ancient manuscripts.

It was a fascinating read. Using this lens, it depicts what and why we are seeing the rise of demonic activity in the world.
