Literature about the judgment day as recorded in the Koran and the bible has led to a rift between Christians and Muslims. The interpretation of readings in the holy books has led many people to ask, will the antichrist be a Muslim? Theologians from both religions have given justifications regarding this suggestion leaving followers to make personal conclusions.
The Islamic connection arises out to the story of a young twelfth imam who disappeared to the desert to escape persecution. This imam is expected to come back a while before God pronounces his judgment over the earth. According to the bible, the beast will rise at around the same time. This is the coincidence that has formed a fertile ground for people to make such a conclusion.
Christians are told to be watchful for the king whose rule comes before the Day of Judgment. Verse four in the book of revelation chapter thirteen gives this account. One promise to be made by this king is peace for Israel for a period of seven years. The promise is bound to be broken. The reign will be characterized by dictatorial stunts and anarchy. This becomes a sign of an ending world.
Among the signs that people should watch out for towards judgment day include the breaking of a promise to deliver peace to Israel. The ruler takes the title of the beast by dictating his wishes over the people and demanding to be recognized as god. Intrigues and trickery shall be used to identify him. It is the coincidences of a returning Imam and the rising ruler that drive many people into that conclusion.
Doubts about the relationship between Muslims and the antichrist emerge when one reads the book of Daniel. He introduces the return to reign of the Roman Empire. This kingdom is to be under a king ruling with intrigues, deceit and claiming equality with God. The mention of Roman Empire shifts focus away from Islam.
The Roman Empire was located in Europe. This is an area with very few Muslims and therefore makes it impossible for them to be rulers in a natural situation. Their population makes it impossible for them to rule. Muslims and Israel have a very bitter and acrimonious relationship. This makes it almost impossible for the seven years of peace to be achieved. This is one line that puts doubts into the discussion.
One would regard the Muslim connection as theory and a result of extrapolation of scripture. Such a ruler would require the acceptance of both Jews and Muslims. The most likely possibility would be a half cast. Such a person would be welcome by Muslims as their returning Imam and the Jews as one of their own. This would make it possible for him to rule.
Cross reading the Koran and the Bible has led to the conclusion about an Islamic beast. Christians are warned of deceitful rulers who will come towards judgment day. The kings who do not proclaim Christ as their Lord and Savior should be disregarded. Christians should also be aware of the deceit and intrigues perpetuated by such rulers.
