David Koresh led the Branch Davidians, a religious sect known for its apocalyptic teachings. Claiming to be the final prophet, he attracted followers with his interpretations of the Book of Revelation and the Seven Seals. Koresh took over the Mount Carmel Center in Texas in the late 1980s, becoming the group’s leader. In the early 1990s, allegations of polygamy and child sexual abuse emerged. A law enforcement raid in 1993 sparked a 51-day siege that culminated in violence and Koresh’s death.
