Church-in-Quarantine, Episode 12: The Antichrist

Episode Summary

The figure that evangelical Christians know as "the Antichrist" is an archetypal figure that informs many of the great villains in fiction, especially Nicolae Carpathia in the Left Behind novels. However, the Book of Revelation does not even refer to this person as the Antichrist, preferring to refer to him as "the Beast." In this episode, we will take a brief look at what the Bible says about this person, and consider whether this is a person who has already come in history or who is still yet to come.
