Biblical scholar Sam Shamoun joins Avoiding Babylon to walk through the Antichrist passages most modern readers misinterpret — starting with 2 Thessalonians 2:8 and the question of what it actually means for the Lord to "slay" the lawless one. Hint: it's not what you think. Sam cross-references Revelation 19:20 and 20:10 to show that the Beast and False Prophet are still burning a thousand years later, then dives into the "stars" of Revelation 12, the falling dragon, the early Church's literal millennial reign view (and why you should be careful before calling Justin Martyr or Irenaeus heretics), and the case that the "angel" of each of the seven churches is actually the bishop.

This clip is from a longer livestream covering Pope Leo XIV's "we do not agree" statement on same-sex blessings.
