The final judgment remains contentious between Christians and Muslims. A careful reading of scriptures from the religions has led some quotas to conclude that there will be a Muslim antichrist. Theologians are still trying to understand these possibilities in order to settle the matter. In-depth reading of Christian and Islamic scriptures will allow an individual to make conclusions at a personal level.
The disappearance of a twelfth imam at a tender age and his expected return before judgment are the pointers to an Islamic beast. According to the Koran, the imam was escaping persecution and thus fled to the desert. His return is expected just before judgment falls on the world. This is what has led the Christians to claim that he will bear the mark of the beast.
The bible points out at a leader who will be the last ruler before Christ returns to judge the world. This scripture is found in Revelations chapter 13, verse 4. What will signal the nations that the beast has arisen is the fact that he will promise peace to Israel. According to the treaty, peace will reign for seven years. Before the period is over, the truce will be broken and dictatorship will reign.
The collapse of the promise of peace to Israel will signal the end of times. The said beast will require recognition as God and rule as a dictator. These signs should be observed closely by Christians because they indicate the end of time. It is the coincidences in the return of this twelfth Islamic imam and the beast just before judgment that lead to the conclusion.
Daniel puts a twist to the debate by mentioning the return or rise of the Roman Empire as signal of antichrist rule. The kingdom will be rebuilt with the king exercising a lot of intrigues, deceit and claiming to be God. There is similarity between the reading of Revelation and Daniel on the antichrist. This is where evidence seems to point away from Muslims.
The description given by Daniel regarding the Roman Empire and its historical location divert attention away from Muslims. The empire is located in Europe whose Muslim population is small. Muslims are more likely to be found in the Middle East. The conflicts pitting Muslims and Israel is unlikely to lead to a truce of this nature as suggested in the bible. This makes the seven year of peace mentioned impossible to achieve.
There is a lot of speculation regarding the beast. From the two scriptures, only a person with acceptance among Jews and Muslims would become an antichrist. Such a possibility rests upon a half-cast. The situation would allow Muslims to view him as their lost twelfth imam while Jews regard him as one of their own.
Reading scriptures from the Koran and the bible has borne the conclusion that the expected antichrist will be Muslim. The requirement for Christians is to cautiously vet any individual who attributes his powers to Christ. The best way to know a true prophet is to demand confession that Jesus Christ is his Lord and Savior.
