Stephen Colbert’s past skits just may have shown an even darker look into the reality of Hollywood cults and sacrifices as the dark truth of the Epstein files emerges into the light.
During an Emmy award ceremony presentation with Jon Stewart, Colbert greeted the room of Hollywood elites by saying, “Good evening, godless Sodomites.”
He continues to say, “I’m bringing the truth, Jon. We’re in Hollywood, the belly of the beast.”
While this may seem like all fun and games, he then said that Hollywood “warps the minds of our children and weakens the resolve of our allies.” Colbert let the room know that they were receiving a “golden idol to worship,” yelling, “kneel before your god, Babylon.”
For years, stories and videos have come out of Hollywood exposing cultic patterns, including those out of Bohemian Grove, where elites basically sell their souls for the sake of fame. Now with lists of celebrities inside of the Epstein files that took part in all kinds of demonic activity, this skit hits as more than just a skit. Instead, it was like the truth was pointed out right in front of us.
However, Colbert did something else that points to an even darker side of what some may have done for fame, awards and riches.
Back in 2012, he used an actual baby to portray a demonic child sacrifice.

“I must appease him with the gift of a man-child,” Colbert says before picking up the baby. “Come to me, I must feed you!”
He can be heard saying, “Take the baby!” As Colbert walked with the baby to another part of the stage with red smoke, he then returned without the child.
“I’m sure the baby will be fine,” Colbert joked.

Scripture reminds us that we wrestle “not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers…against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Eph. 6:12). Darkness does not always announce itself with horns and fire. Sometimes it hides in plain sight—dressed as irony, cloaked in applause, and dismissed as performance art.
We do not need to speculate wildly to acknowledge a sobering truth: evil exists. History has proven it. Human trafficking is real. Exploitation is real. Corruption among the powerful is real. This truth should wake us up to pray for protection, wisdom and discernment. The Bible warns that in the last days, what is evil would be called good and what is good would be mocked (Isa. 5:20).
The church cannot afford to pretend that spiritual darkness is imaginary simply because it makes us uncomfortable. Nor can we turn away when disturbing patterns surface in culture. At the same time, our response must not be fueled by fear, but by truth and light. Jesus said, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). That promise still stands, and the Light will always have the final word.
