(20) Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship. (21) Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father. (22) Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews. (23) But the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers. (24) God is a spirit; and they who worship him must worship him in spirit and truth. John 4:20-24 Darby
DO WE KNEEL DOWN OR PROSTRATE TO WORSHIP or DO HOMAGE or DO OBEISANCE?
TO WHOM MAY MAN PROSTRATE, KNEEL, DO HOMAGE, OR OBEISANCE? WHO MAY MAN WORSHIP?All the king's courtiers in the king's gateway were bowing down and prostrating themselves before Haman; for so were the instructions the king had given concerning him.

And the smoke of their torment goes up to ages of ages, and they have no respite day and night who do homage to the beast and to its image, and if any one receive the mark of its name. Revelation 14:11 Darby
And I saw thrones; and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and the souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the word of God; and those who had not done homage to the beast nor to his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and hand; and they lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years: Revelation 20:4 Darby
Jesus, while He was still alive, said that He saw Satan fallen from Heaven. He did not say that He Himself fought Satan out of Heavens, even though that is what Satan and his agents make many of us believe. Archangel Michael and his Angels fought the Satan, the Dragon, the Deceiver, the Antichrist, or the Devil out of Heavens to earth.
John says that the Antichrist was already active in his days. He had already been waging wars against the saints or the Witnesses of Jesus and the testimony (the Torah) of God (Jesus) for a long time now preparing for the final assault.
It implies, thus, that many must have been kneeling and are kneeling at the feet of Satan to worship him, pay homage or obeisance to the beast just not yet in the brutal manner that we read in the book of Apocalypse, receive his name, his mark, his number.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Revelation 20:4 KJV
