Will The Antichrist Be A Muslim Or A Christian?

By Essie Osborn


Religion has left so many people with unanswered questions about life to come, to say the least. The common question today is the same; will the antichrist be a Muslim. There is no better way to get around this than to find out whether there are facts that give real support to this argument.

It is actually not easy to evaluate such a claim without looking at the end-time teaching form the Islamic and Christian religion. There is a prophecy concerning the Twelfth Imam. According to the prophecy, there have twelve Imams since the departure of Muhammad.

Mohammad Abu was the number twelve spiritual leader of the Islam community. He was born in 868 and when hiding in the caves due to the persecution which was taking place at the time. The Islam community believe that Abu, will someday come back home, just before the day Jesus comes back.

The Bible takes a completely different approach on this matter and talks of a leader who will appear just before the Day of Judgment. The Bible refers to him as the beast, which will come to deceive people by making them sign a false peace treaty for a period of seven years. The beast will then break the treaty during his reign and declare himself God over the whole universe. Many people have faith that the beast is actually the expected twelfth man whose return is expected.

The book of Daniel in the Bible takes a clear look at the empires that is to rise during the last days. The vision of Daniel talks about four empires and in it, he states that the empire, which is to rule and conquer other empires during the last days, is the the Roman Empire. The leader of the empire will not only make deceit to prosper but also declare himself superior.

The ruler Daniel sees in the dream he has is completely similar to the person whose description is given in the last book of the Bible. If this were a true analogy, it would be completely unforgiving to say that the twelfth spiritual leader expected to return by the Islam community is the beast. The antichrist is not going to come from the Islam community, to say the least.

Where the false spiritual leader is going to arise from contradicts. If people believe that he is going to come from the Roman Empire that means that, his origin is from the nations, which are part of the Roman Empire. Some of these nations include a larger part of the European nations and some sections of the Northern part of Africa. The Arabs have never taken part in the ruling of the Roman Empire.

There is likelihood that there will be a positive relationship between this leader and the nation of Israel at the time. The leader will come and a make a seven year-period of peace treaty with the Israelites. This will not only led trouble but also rebuilding of the Jewish. There will be hostility between Muslims and Jews and this clearly shows that a Muslim could be in this position.
