In a quiet corner of America, a church preached purity.
What it practiced was something else entirely.

This week we examine the rise of Abin Cooper and the Five Points Trinity Church, a fundamentalist sect that blurred the line between belief and brutality. What began as fire-and-brimstone rhetoric escalated into abduction, execution, and a federal siege that nearly ended in mass annihilation.

As law enforcement closed in, scripture was weaponized, martyrdom was rehearsed, and a single gunshot turned a standoff into open war. When a mysterious horn echoed across the battlefield, even federal command hesitated — and for a moment, prophecy seemed real.

This isn’t just the story of a cult.
It’s a story about power, fear, and what happens when ideology convinces ordinary people they’re chosen.

Abin Cooper didn’t think he was a villain.
He thought he was history.
