Episode 433 | The Great Separation | Luke 21 - Catholic Bible Prophecy

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.

Wood 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.
