Ever since ancient times the Antichrist is always been of European Decent. There have been entitlements that developed in regard to the foretold the false messiah being of Islamic Origin. Opinions and different points of views have been raised across different religious based groups regarding the impending approach of the Antichrist. The question that many ask is, Will the Antichrist Be a Muslim? We look at these discussions brought forth across both platforms, the Islamic and Christian Antichrist.
The Shiite who are found in regions of Iraq, who are an Islamic community have always believed that after the death of prophet Muhammad, there were twelve prophets who came forth. The prophets are also referred to Imams from a Muslim perspective. The prophet, who was born around 868, was Imam Muhammad Al Mahdi who was number twelve among the twelve prophets. He entered into a cave while 12 years of age, due to the persecution. During the end times the prophet will emerge from the cave.
Some section of Christian topologists, they bring forth the argument that he will be Islam. They claim that that according to prophet Micah in the bible, his end time prophecy the Assyrian invaded the land of Israel referring to the Assyrian as the Antichrist. The argument further claims that according to the book of Revelation the false messiah is described as being Leopard like with the feet of a bear and the mouth of lion, where according to Daniel the Medo-Persian Empire is depicted as a Leopard.
Other Bible Scholars refer to the book of Daniel where he describes a vision about a succession of empires. Daniel describes a ram representing the Medo-Persian Empire which is trampled by a goat which had a unique horn between its eyes. They all are in agreement that the horn represents Antiochus Epiphanes who arose out of the Seleucid section of Alexanders empire.
Despite all this arguments, there are also claims that the false messiah is not going to be from Islamic Religion. Prophet Daniel speaks about a peace agreement between the fake messiah and Israel for duration of seven years. Prophet Daniel goes on and prophesies about the recreation of the temple by the Antichrist. Further evidence further points the fake messiah will not be Islam due to the hostile nature between Christian community and the Islamic community.
Some scholars further claim that he is not going to be a Muslim due to Geographic locality. According to the bible the anticipated Antichrist is going to emerge from the new Roman Empire, which will be in the countries where the former Roman Empire was located. Sections of Europe and some parts of Africa made part of the Roman Empire yet Europeans have led the Empire and not Muslims.
Additional evidence indicates that the Assyrian nation mentioned in the book of Micah was not referring to the Antichrist. The Assyrian nation that was mentioned in the book of Micah was Israel enemy nation at the moment and that God had promised to protect Israel from all enemies both within and out of Israel.
The Assyrians being predominantly Christians further disagrees with the notion of him being Muslim. Most of Assyrians are located in Syria, Iraq and Turkey. Despite the fact that they are located in Islamic nations the Assyrians are over 90 per cent Christians further countering claiming that an Assyrian Antichrist would be an Islam.
