From the traditional viewpoint the fake messiah has been believed to be a European. Claims have also been emerging of the future false messiah being Islamic. Arguments and discussions have always been brought forth among various religious platforms concerning the coming of a future Antichrist. Will the Antichrist be a Muslim? We discuss these claims with pieces of evidence brought forth by teachings from both Islam and Christianity on the end times
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.
A section of Christians argue that Daniel refers to a prophecy on empires. In this prophecy Daniel foretells of a ram that is crashed with a goat which possessed a distinctive horn in between its eyes . In this prophecy the ram refers to the Medo-Persian Empire. Most scholars agree the horn signified Antiochus Epiphanes who rose from a section of the Alexanders Empire.
But despite all these discussions, there are suggestions of Antichrist not being Islamic is and one of the positive relationships between Israel and the Anti-Christ. Prophet Daniel foretells the false messiah will confirm a peace agreement with Israel for seven years. They also argue that Daniel prophesies the reconstruction of a Temple by the Antichrist. Based on the hostility that has been existent between the Christians and the Islamic community the fake messiah can not be Muslim.
More evidence further claims that due to geographical location the fake messiah wont hail from the Islam community. Different facts point that the new Roman Empire will be among the old nations of the Roman Empire. These countries consist of some parts of Europe and North Africa. It is this fact that leads to argument that it has always been Europeans who have always led the Roman Empire rather than 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 people of Assyrian are largely Christians reducing the association of the fake messiah being a Muslim. Vast populations of Assyrians are located in Syria, turkey and Iraq. In spite of most of these populations living in Islamic nations most are Christians. This is among the reason that reduces the arguments of the Antichrist emerging from Muslims.
