Why everyone is talking about the Antichrist
There has been a resurgence of discussions about the Antichrist in contemporary politics, particularly among far-right figures. Some are speculating whether Donald Trump could embody this biblical figure, while others, like Peter Thiel, are leading discussions on the topic in tech circles. This renewed interest reflects a historical pattern where societal crises often lead to heightened fears of apocalyptic figures.
