Will The Antichrist Be A Muslim Or A Christian?

By Essie Osborn


There are so many questions rising on a daily basis concerning religion. Today, the common question many people are still asking is will the antichrist be a Muslim or a Christian. However, the best question to ask would be whether these are facts or mare claims from people trying to predict the end of times.

The best way to analyze this question would be to have a look at both Biblical and Islamic teachings about the end of times. In Islam is the prophecy of the twelfth man whose return is expected. The Muslims believe that there have been twelve spiritual leaders since the death 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 has a completely different approach to the same issue yet it talks about a leader who would come before the Day of Judgment. It does not mention who he is. There are no references in the Bible giving clues about the religion of the antichrist. His mission would be to establish peace on earth by signing a peace treaty with the Israelites, an agreement he would break after taking authority. The beast would declare himself God and rule the whole world before the coming of Jesus. Some people believe that the beast is the twelfth man the Islam community is waiting for.

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 that Daniel sees in the vision is quite similar to the person spoken about in the Book of Revelation. If these were true claims, it would be wholly unforgiving to say that a false ruler would actually rise from the Islam community to rule the word before the Day of Judgment. If anything, he is not even going to come from the Islamic community.

The actual location where this false ruler would rise from is in itself quite contradicting. If he is going to emerge from the Roman Empire, that means he is most likely going to rise from among the European nations or from the Northern part of Africa. If you have no clue, the Europeans are the ones who have always been on the ruling of the Roman Empire and not Arabs.

The nation of Israel is going to create a positive relationship with the beast through the signing up of a peace treaty, which would later be broken during the reigning period. The signing of the treaty is to lead to the rebuilding of the Jewish temple. The hostility between the Islam and Christians shows that a Muslim could be in this position.
