In this episode, Peter Edwell and Bronwen Neil from Macquarie University discuss a range of issues connected to ancient Christian views of the end of the world and especially on the idea of the Anti-Christ. In recent times the world has witnessed a number of upheavals and predictions of calamities about to descend upon it, and in the Roman, post-Roman and Byzantine worlds, the same types of events were of concern to many. For Christians of this period interpretations were made of political, military, meteorological and geological upheavals to indicate the impending end of the world and the return of Jesus Christ. This was particularly connected to interpreting the events described in the last book of the Bible: Revelation. The appearance of the Anti-Christ was an important feature of the eschatological timeline identified in Revelation and many were keen to establish who the anti-Christ might be at various times. While the anti-Christ is an important feature of our discussion, we also deal with the Whore of Babylon, the Apocalypse and the Number of the Beast - 666.
