I know who I was thinking of. Theil is looking fro the Antichrist, and the antichrist is Karp.
Signs of the antichrist:
1. He will exalt himself.
2. He will heed his inner voice above others.
3. He will be hostile toward the true God.
4. He will exalt human logic above faith.
5. He will prosper for a season and be loved.
6. He will not desire women.
7. He will not follow the faith of his fathers.
8. He will viciously persecute Jews and Christians.
9. He will think of himself as greater than God.
10. He will become increasingly lawless.
11. He will honour military power above faith.
12. He will love wealth.
13. He will hoard precious things.
14. He will become a man of war.
15. He will wage a war on all people of faith.
16. He will force Israel to ratify a treaty.
17. He will divide Israel and Jerusalem.
18. He will invade Jerusalem.
19. He will enter the restored Temple.
20. He will declare himself above God.
This list is all heavily extrapolated and there are good reasons to reject any antichrist is well defined or even prophesied as lists like this claim. The Bible warns of escalating deception and a future opponent of Christ through passages like John’s letters, Paul’s “man of lawlessness,” and Daniel’s prophecies, but the highly detailed profile of a singular Antichrist, complete with global empire, mark of the beast, and dramatic persecutions all depends heavily on the Book of Revelation’s vivid imagery. Without Revelation, these elements largely vanish, leaving a more restrained and debated concept focused on blasphemy and false teaching rather than an itemized checklist of traits and events. Moreover, Revelation itself faced significant controversy in the early church, with doubts about its authorship and theology leading some fathers and Eastern churches to reject or marginalize it for centuries before its eventual acceptance around the 4th–5th centuries. Thus, claims of precise, comprehensive biblical knowledge about one ultimate Antichrist figure are overstated, as the most elaborate details stem from a book whose canonical status was far from immediate or unanimous.
I wish more people HN could recognize sarcasm or a joke or just an analogy or just something fun to say that mimics the ridiculousness of the people we have ruling our culture right now in this weird cult that they think they know everything and think they’re hubris is not gonna land them face first in the mud.
Yeah my bad I somehow thought you were serious and so I wanted to explain why even if you’re religious Christian that this antichrist concept isn’t really so well justified at all.
