4 highlights from Peter Thiel’s leaked ‘Antichrist’ lectures: From Revelation 13 to Bill Gates
3. Revelation 13 and the loss of ‘financial freedom’
In perhaps his most dramatic statements reported by The Verge, Thiel predicted Revelation 13 is still a future event in which “the Antichrist will abolish financial freedom” by forcing the world to receive “the mark of the beast.”
“There’s this whole constellation of things, where over the last 25 years — this uneventful, ‘Groundhog Day’ 21st century since 2000 — under cover of relative peace and safety, an incredible machinery of tax treaties, financial surveillance, and sanctions architecture has been constructed,” said Thiel. “And all these tech fortunes are downstream of this vast system.”
Such a system, he added, could ultimately unfold as a totalitarian economic system.
“You have the illusion of power and autonomy, but you have this sense it could be taken away at any moment,” Thiel reportedly said. “It’s become quite difficult to hide one’s money.”
