Thanks. Couldn’t find it. I’m going to assume that he is saying that the challenge is to acknowledge that the Mahdi belief by Muslims parallels our Christian belief that the Messiah will return. I’m not an expert on Islam, so I’ll just take him at his word. Also, it’s not the first time I’ve heard the same.

Based on the prophecy of 70 weeks in Dan 9, a Turk could qualify as a descendant of those who participated with the Romans in destroying Jerusalem.

There was a throne to Zeus in Pergamum that was excavated. Antipas the Martyr is identified in Revelation by John, and tradition says he was ordained by John and martyred in a pot of oil.

Yes and we know the antichrist comes before Jesus return, and he (antichrist) demands to be worshiped or be killed if they will not bow to ac, and Muslims believe all will worship their messiah or be killed. Both also center on Jerusalem. Lots of parallels.
