Have you tried your spare key?

Gotta go with the basics first; fuel, air, and spark

If the anti theft light is flashing while trying to start, you have a key problem. First step is to try another key. Unfortunately, you don't have one. You are going to have to tow it to a dealer and cut and program another key, then see what happens.

Thank you everyone for your help. as it turns out the problem was a bad battery. It would start after being charged. but the battery would not hold a charge and the vehicle would not start or would start and die. replaced the battery and it has done fine.
