Peter Thiel spent the fall of 2026 giving a private, four-part lecture series on the Antichrist and Armageddon. Becket and Randall Carlson were in the room for the first lecture and the last one, "New Rome," at the Masonic Grand Lodge in Nashville. This is their conversation the day after they got home.
Thiel warns that the Antichrist will be a person who offers the world peace and safety. Randall and Becket take that apart. They go back to the original Hebrew and Greek for the serpent, Satan, the devil, Lucifer and the beast, and search Open Veils live on screen to find out how often the word Antichrist actually appears in the Bible. Randall explains why "national security" has been the cover for a century of war, why he separates a human-made Armageddon from a natural apocalypse, and what Thiel left out: a new space economy that could change the whole equation. Becket makes the case that the Antichrist is not one man who is coming, but our relationship with fear.
