This week we are discussing the Biblical Antichrist. What does the New Testament have to say about this ominous figure? Why do some Christians maintain his return is a necessary precondition for the so-called "second coming" of Jesus Christ? What historical (or contemporary) figures have people asserted might just be this Antichrist? Is the Antichrist even a singular person or is it more of a generic turn for anyone who is a non-believer? We get into all of this and so much more.
We also spend the last portion of the episode discussing Lars von Trier's 2009 film Antichrist. We attempt to relate this baffling, troubling picture to the Biblical prophecies we discuss in the first half, with mixed results.
We open the episode going over the recent Grok incident, wherein the X chatbot seems to have declared itself to be...MechaHitler. We also give a preview of our forthcoming episode by briefly mentioning the potential MAGA Civil War over the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
This podcast contains spoilers for Lars von Trier's Antichrist.
