Is it possible that a rock song from the 1970s hints at a deeper, darker truth about modern-day spiritual bondage? In this episode, Scott and John uncover the symbolic message behind Hotel California by The Eagles and connect it to a larger biblical narrative about Satan’s manipulation of humanity through technology and media.

We’re not claiming prophecy in the lyrics—but when the artist sings about being “prisoners of our own device,” it echoes a biblical warning too glaring to ignore. Are phones, social media, and entertainment part of a satanic strategy to desensitize and enslave minds?

Using Scripture as our guide, we examine the meaning of “devices” as used in the Bible—mental, technological, and spiritual tools used to deceive. From 2 Corinthians 2:11 to Revelation 13, we follow the thread of how the enemy prepares the world to worship the Beast.
