Later this month, venture capitalist Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, will discuss the Antichrist at the Commonwealth Club in California as part of a sold-out event presented by the Acts 17 Collective. The Silicon Valley-based group has tech industry leaders exploring the intersection of the Christian faith, work, and culture, and Thiel, who claims to be a Christian but also a homosexual, believes the Antichrist will appear in a post-Christian world to establish a totalitarian system fueled by AI technology amidst an apocalyptic breakdown of society. Here is a man who knows more about the coming Antichrist than most pastors even want to know. However, if lawlessness continues to increase, and the rapture of the Church removes even the low moral standards now upheld by today’s Christians, and if Holy Spirit removes the force that is now restraining sin, the world will be looking for a man to lead a totalitarian government to restore peace, and the rising AI technology will become a part of the “Beast” system to assist him. The title of this sermon is: “The Arrival of the Antichrist – Preparing His Pathway.” The sermon is based on 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 Thank you for your continued support and for sharing these sermon study guides with those you think might be interested. Your involvement is helping us reach a global audience, and we are truly encouraged by the response from viewers worldwide.

Old Testament Reading – Daniel 9:17-27 New Testament Reading – Revelation 13:1-9
God’s Word warns of a world leader who will soon arrive, and be given control over the ten nations that were once part of the Roman Empire and eventually over the world through treaties and war.
In a survey of 600 people, including youth, adults, pastors and seminary professors, Donald Holsinger, a layman with a deep desire to learn, discovered that most people in the church today do not understand the basic, fundamental issues relative to biblical prophecy.
Background of 2 Thessalonians:
Notice the chronology of events:
Satan is a liar, a deceiver who will use any method to achieve his goal to destroy the work and the workers of God. (John 10:10)
Satan cannot destroy a true believer . (John 10:20) However, he can deceive the believer to distract him from the truth and defeat his testimony of faith in Jesus Christ.
Throughout the Scriptures, God urges people to accept the truth and remain faithful to the truth to not be led astray.
