Peter Thiel has been holding Antichrist lectures. Here is some information related to that:
Decoding Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Lectures
August 13, 2026
Nicastro reports that Peter Thiel’s lecture series on the Antichrist reflects a genuine, non-metaphorical fear that an anti-technology “one-world” surveillance state — an inescapable system of global governance — would constitute Armageddon, with effective altruists like Nick Bostrom and Eliezer Yudkowsky cast as “legionnaires of the Antichrist” for trying to halt technological innovation (especially AI) to avert an overhyped apocalypse. He argues Thiel’s view is “surprisingly libertarian” because it prizes technological dynamism and individual freedom and fears that state power capable of stopping technology can also be turned to control, citing COVID-era surveillance and the breakup of Hasidic Jewish funerals in New York. Thiel frames the United States as the “katechon” that restrains the Antichrist through its domination of the financial system (e.g., SWIFT, as used against Russia), while warning that if the katechon grows too powerful it risks becoming the Antichrist itself. …
- Thiel’s literal Antichrist fear: Nicastro says Thiel, referencing many theologians and Old and New Testament passages, is genuinely (not metaphorically) worried about an Antichrist-like figure leading an inescapable anti-tech “one-world statist” system, tied to effective-altruist “long-termist” concerns about AI.
- Effective altruists as “legionnaires”: Thiel explicitly denies that Yudkowsky, Greta Thunberg, or Bostrom are themselves the Antichrist — calling them insufficiently charismatic — but casts them as minions setting up an anti-tech apparatus that would abrogate liberty to avert an overhyped catastrophe.
- The libertarian throughline: Nicastro argues Thiel is not an unqualified techno-optimist (he accuses Marc Andreessen of “cornucopianism”) but fears a one-worldist surveillance state on libertarian grounds, invoking COVID-era coercion he witnessed in Brooklyn against people attending religious services and funerals. https://thedailybell.com/all-articles/exclusive-interviews/decoding-peter-thiels-antichrist-lectures/
Why would Peter Thiel’s views possibly be of interest?
For one, he attended the 71st Bilderberg meeting last year in Sweden. So, he has hobnobbed with many ‘globalists.’
For another, he launched Palantir in 2003. That is a data company which looks/surveils a lot. The Beast and Antichrist will do that per the Book of Revelation:
15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)
Understanding surveillance that there is, helps Peter Thiel and others better understand some of what will be coming.
For another reason to mention, there are rumors I have read online that Peter Thiel moved his family to Argentina while also pursuing one or more non-USA citizenships–this is in addition to his USA, German, and New Zealand citizenships.
So, Peter Thiel has some understanding of the globalist agenda and surveillance tools, while looking for options he considers to be safer at least for his family.
Notice the following from our free online book Lost Tribes and Prophecies: What will happen to Australia, the British Isles, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America?:
The World Worships the Beast
The Book of Revelation teaches:
8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:8)
The “him” above is the Babylonian European Beast.
The “prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2) has worked to set the stage for this Beast to have secular and religious supporters of various types.
Secular organizations such as the World Economic Forum (WEF),[i] United Nations,[ii] and the Bilderberg Group[iii] all support a type of a somewhat ecumenical-interfaith-merged religion, allowing for certain differences, yet possibly writing their own holy book with artificial intelligence! [iv] They all promote what could be called a ‘globalist’ agenda, consistent with prophecies (e.g. Revelation 17:1-5).
The European Union does as well, however, its view is that Europe should lead a coming “new world order.”[v]
In May of 2022, World Economic Forum’s founder Klaus Schwab, who is German, said he wanted to make it “clear” — “the future is built by us.”[vi] And the WEF will work with others, like European politicians, to make that happen. WEF Chief Executive Philippe Donnet wrote related to global governance, “The world needs a leader. Europe should step up … Global leadership, especially in socioeconomic terms, could become the shared goal of European citizens.”[vii] The WEF wants to help “build a strong, sovereign Europe.” [viii]
Furthermore, the WEF has wanted Roman Catholic involvement. Pope Francis actually sent messages to Davos. [ix] But it is not clear that Pope Leo IV if sent a WEF message, beyond authorizing Vatican officials to participate. But the WEF is actively engaging with Leo’s teaching and publishing articles about his encyclical.[x]
In 2020 Prince Charles, now king Charles III, endorsed the WEF’s globalist ‘Great Reset” agenda.[xi] There are prophecies about some of the UK (Ephraim) calling out to Germany (Assyria) after the start of the Great Tribulation (cf. Hosea 5:13). It is likely that at least one or more members of the British royal family will do this, though it will not turn out as they would have hoped (cf. Hosea 5:13b, 11:5).
Former German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, who has pushed for more European integration, has personally spoken at a WEF meeting a decade ago[xii] and was still listed as part of the WEF on its website in 2023.[xiii] Herr Guttenberg also has directly called for Europe to reorganize.[xiv]
The WEF has called its version of a reorganized world The Great Reset.[xv] Many aspects of The Great Reset align with a future the Bible warns against. In 2021, the WEF announced it would work with Big Tech and governments to be able to control and censor the internet[xvi]—it has since continued that theme[xvii]—such control would seem to contribute to the coming “famine of the word” (Amos 8:11-12).
In 2022, WEF founder Klaus Schwab told the G20 (a group of the most influential/powerful government leaders of the world) that he believed that “a deep systemic and structural restructuring of our world” was needed.[xviii] While a deep European restructuring will occur (cf. Revelation 17:12-13), it is scripturally warned against. In 2023 in a keynote speech at the World Government Summit, Klaus Schwab stated, “I agree, artificial intelligence, but not only artificial intelligence, but also the metaverse, neospace technologies, and I could go on and on … And, who masters those technologies, in some way, will be the master of the world”[xix]–and that is basically what he called for. Bible prophecy points to computer technologies to be used by the coming Beast power (cf. Revelation 13:16-18).
On the opening day of the WEF meeting in Davos, Switzerland in 2023, Klaus Schwab (who retired in 2025) called for his supporters to “master the future,”[xx] which looks to be directed towards globalist totalitarianism. On the closing day of that conference “Tanja Fajon, Slovenia’s minister of foreign affairs, complained about countries placing their own sovereignty over the interests of the ‘world order,’ “ [xxi] (the loss of national sovereignty will happen at least in Europe according to prophecies such as Revelation 17:12-13).
Another 2023 WEF Davos speaker, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari (Pakistan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs) stated shortly after Tanja Fajon, “Here at WEF … there’s a lot of discussion about what the new world order will be …” and he also stated that that they needed to continue working towards, “building this new world order.” [xxii] Having watched the video clip of this, Bilawal Zardari also looked to be calling for something consistent with the final time of the Gentiles (Ezekiel 30:3). By not appreciating warnings contained in biblical prophecies, many are pushing in a direction that will end in death and destruction that the Bible says to flee from (cf. Revelation 18:2-19).
The WEF is specifically pushing global governance and it wants to use tools including Artificial Intelligence to make that happen. [xxiii]
In 2024 and 2025, the WEF expanded its outreach to other faiths as it believes this will result in a more inclusive and sustainable order.[xxiv]
It needs to be pointed out that this book is not asserting that the United Nations, World Economic Forum, Freemasons, Bilderberg Group, etc. cannot do anything good. They do have many positive goals, yet also some goals that are opposed by scripture. Despite the good, the Bible warns:
1 Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; (Psalm 127:1)
And, since these groups do not promote the supremacy of the God of the Bible, they, in that sense, labor in vain.
Related to goals of the New Age movement, consider the following:
A number of fundamental beliefs are held by many New Age followers…
- Universal Religion: Since all is God, then only one reality exists, and all religions are simply different paths to that ultimate reality. …
- New World OrderAs the Age of Aquariusunfolds, a New Age will develop. This will be a utopia in which there is world government, and end to wars, disease, hunger, pollution, and poverty. People’s allegiance to their tribe or nation will be replaced by a concern for the entire world and its people.[xxv]
This also sounds consistent with what the Freemasons say they want:
What is the Mission of Freemasonry? To promote a way of life that binds like-minded men in a worldwide brotherhood that transcends all religious, ethnic, cultural, social and educational differences; by teaching the great principles of brotherly love, relief and truth; and, by the outward expression of these through its fellowship, to find ways in which to serve God, family, country, neighbors and self.[xxvi]
There has, historically, been friction between the Freemasons and the Vatican, though this has lessened under Pope Francis.[xxvii] However, Freemasons, and others without strong ties to the Church of the City of Seven Hills (Rome), are likely to be among those that will one day betray it after the Beast is more fully in power and an antipope is in place consistent with Revelation 17:16-18.

Currently, Bilderberg and many groups that are working towards implementing a globalist world order. Some say that is a conspiracy, but actually that is a fact.
Related to that, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video:
Globalism: Conspiracy or Convergence?
In May of 2022, the World Economic Forum held a conference where thousands of the world’s elites attended, essentially in support of a ‘great reset’ to change society. In June 2022, the Bilderberg Group met essentially to do the same thing. In June 2022, Pope Francis told a group invited by Cardinal Kurt Koch, “Unity does not come about by standing still.” Whereas the Roman Catholic group, whose co-president in Marc Stengel, called for more cooperation with the United Nations and apparently supporters of Gandhi. The World Council of Churches also supports the globalist agenda as do the Freemasons and others. Could Satan be the real conspirator behind this? Will humanity be able to bring about utopia? Or can true Christian unity and utopia only come about with the return of Jesus and the Kingdom of God? Will the globalist agenda succeed for a time? Dr. Thiel addresses these and other issues.
Here is a link to that video: Globalism: Conspiracy or Convergence?
Several globalist groups want to align the world into the image of the Beast-led, new world order that will be coming to Europe (cf. Revelation chapters 13, 17, & 18).
As far as conspiracies go, notice what the Bible teaches:
12 “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’ Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. (Isaiah 8:12)
While I do not believe that conspiracy would be the best way to describe the globalists (nor do I fear them), I do believe that many are interested in a one-world government and would like to see it. Satan has a plan (see Satan’s Plan) and it involves a type of one-world government–and he influences people around the world. Various ones associated with the United Nations want such a government–or at least more international control of national governments.
Despite what may be good intentions of many globalists, the type of international ‘one-world’ government that many want is warned against in the Bible and will be replaced by Jesus, who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords:
11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, 18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”
19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh. (Revelation 19:11-21)
While peaceful cooperation can be a good thing, those who support the Beast power will not fare well.
Those who attend Bilderberg should consider and believe what the Bible teaches.
