COULD ANTICHRIST BE MUSLIM?
jgrantswankjr ^ | Jan 5 | J. Grant Swank, Jr.

What we know about the Antichrist is in the Bible. The primary passage is in The Book of Revelation, chapter 13, verses 1-10. In the same chapter, verses 11-18 is a description of the False Prophet. The Book of Revelation, from chapter 4 to its close, is presented in symbolism.

Beheading does seem to be the favored form of martyrdom in Revelations.

If I remember correctly the anti-christ is supposed to be noted for a ‘blue turban’ on his head - sound like a muzzie to me

United Church of Christ.

More specifically, Trinity UCC.

Seriously, speculation on this sorta thing seems ill-advised. I have a hard enough time understanding the faith of Christian friends who are seduced by Obama’s messianic claims.

Swank is a little late to this party!

The great majority of Christians who have studied Islam have for many years concluded that the Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam, is the same person as the Christian AntiChrist.

And consider this...if the Mahdi is the AntiChrist, who is the Dajjal?

In Left Behind, the antichrist was European and his name was Nicolae ... so clearly he cannot be an arabic muslim.

Beheading does seem to be the favored form of martyrdom in Revelation.

That is my conclusion as well. When younger I thought: "Beheadings? Must be from ancient times. Who would behead in this day and age?" Little did I know that the Muslims advocated such executions. Heck, when I was a kid Islam/Mohammed/sharia weren't even mentioned.

Since the OT keeps referring to him as the “Assyrian,” I’d say there’s a better than even chance.

I believe the Anti-Christ will come from the revived Seleucid (Greek) Empire (Wiki it), and is modeled after Antiochus Epihanes (Wiki him). The seat of the Seleucid Empire was in Antioch, on the Mediterranean coast of Syria (in what is now Turkey.)

Daniel 9 says the AC will “reject the gods of his fathers”, which makes perfect sense if you’re going to tell the world that you’re God.

But if you do a search on the OIC (Organization of the Islamic Conference) and go to its website, you’ll see a Flash screen showing the current member nations of the OIC: 57. There are currently 195 nations on earth, 192 in the U.N. The OIC comprises 1/3 of the nations on earth, and - if you look at that map - they completely surround Israel, almost to the “ends of the earth.”

BTW, the headquarters for the OIC is currently located in Tehran, part of the former Seleucid Empire.

In Revelation, the first 4 or 5 Trumpet judgments fall on 1/3 of the earth and its inhabitants.

Coincidence?

Well let’s see. Allah was the most powerful Djiin in the B’aal. A Djiin is a Sand Demon. The most powerful demon is Sata. So connect some dots.

I was fairly skeptical on this subject for a long time thinking that the ‘great delusion’ that comes on the world was more likely some new age environmentalism sort of religion. After reading something on the demographics of the growing Islamic presence in Europe I began to rethink. Check out Mark Steyn’s book, ‘America Alone’.

For a good study on the relationship b/n Islam and the Anti-Christ, try ‘The Islamic Antichrist’ by Joel Richardson.

yep, your are correct. Obama the M&M president...Marxist and Muslim. He was “hiding in the closet” for 20 plus years at Rev Jeremiah Wright’s crib but now he is having his coming out party. Please, THE ONE TRUE GOD, have mercy on America !!

LeHay and Jenkins have most everything else wrong in the Left Behind series, why not that too?
