The last seven years of human history that will be marked by intense persecution, afflictions, and martyrdom of Christians. Although many Christians believe they will escape the Tribulation, the biblical evidence, particularly from the epistles to the Thessalonians, indicates that believers will be kept in the Tribulation rather than taken out of it.
Steve also shares his personal motivations for focusing on biblical prophecy, concerned that many may not make it through the difficult times to come. He references historical and theological perspectives on the severity of the Tribulation period.

Steve Wood discusses the claim that Pope Benedict XVI was the "restrainer" mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2. While he disagrees with this view, Steve believes the New Oxford Review article which this view came from, contains valuable insights, namely that Benedict's warnings about the growing power of the Antichrist and the great separation within the Church are worth heeding.
Steve notes that Benedict, as a student of St. Augustine and the influential writer, Tyconius, believed the Church contains both the true followers of Christ as well as those aligned with the Antichrist. This great separation was a concept Benedict had warned about as early as the 1950s. Steve encourages listeners to carefully read the New Oxford Review article and consider Benedict's apocalyptic warnings about the Antichrist's growing influence, even within the Church itself. These insights from Benedict are highly relevant and valuable for understanding the spiritual battles of our time.

Who is the "restrainer" mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2? Although a respected conservative Catholic leader argued in 2020 that Donald J. Trump is the restrainer, Steve Wood argues that it is actually St. Michael the Archangel according to Revelation 20.
The restrainer must have been present during the time when St. Paul was writing 2 Thessalonians, around A.D. 50. This makes it impossible for Trump to be the restrainer. Steve emphasizes the importance of using reliable resources, like the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, when researching biblical prophecy and quoting Greek words.

What is the key to resisting the deceptions of the Antichrist and what are the limitations of Sola Scriptura when it comes to this?
Steve recounts how he discovered the significance of Church Tradition through the writings of early church father Saint John Chrysostom. Chrysostom's teachings emphasize that the unwritten traditions of the Church hold the same authority as the written Scriptures. These homilies challenged Steve's previously-held belief in Sola Scriptura.
Steve also explores the limitations of Sola Scriptura and highlights the practical importance of including all of the books of the Bible.
