Since the Bible clearly defines idolatry as the worship of demons, and since demons are eternal personalities which desire the worship of men, it is fair to conclude the characterization of such deities as “Zeus,” “Amun-Ra,” “Demeter,” and “Isis,” were simply the classical names attributed to specific fallen spirits.
