Will The Antichrist Be A Muslim Or Someone Else

By Essie Osborn


Christians, heathens, pagans, Muslims and all groups of people are wondering about one thing; the end of the age, that time when the world is going to end. The most interesting question that still lingers in the air is will the antichrist be a Muslim? This argument alone is farfetched and to say the least, there are no Biblical indications that the antichrist is from an Islam community.

The approach that many people have is that the beast is most likely going to come from the Islam community. However, there is no religious information, facts or proof recorded about this. The Bible itself talks about the beast but does not really say who he is according to the Book of Revelation. According to Koran, the Islam community believes in Jesus but there are no indications in the same religion that they are going to rebel against him.

There shall come a time when people will not live for the truth. People will love lies so much that they will start to go against the living word of God and the facts about Jesus. Sad enough, there are always people who are busy working to lead others stray and if anything, these are the antichrist.

Secondly, the Bible did say that many antichrists are going to come and in fact, they are already in the midst of humankind. From the book of the first epistle of John, it looks like this antichrist remains a mystery of its own kind. The Bible states clearly that the antichrists do not belong among the children of God, but that does not mean that they belong to the Islam side because Islamic community too believes in God.

So many people and organizations out there are against Jesus today. They do not believe either he is the son of God or still cling on to the faith that the promised Messiah is yet to come. Beside, who would believe that a child born in a manager would really make a son of God or a King of the Jews to say the least? Yes, this is an enough show that many who are against Jesus are so because they do not believe in him.

The idea that this false spiritual leader is going to rise from the Roman Empire does not give even the slightest clue that he is from an Islam community. In fact, the Bible gives no such reference right from the time of Daniel to the time of John in the Island of Patmos.

The Bible speaks of a Kingdom that will rise above the rulers of the earth and devour the world. The ruler would subdue and rule the earth and make deceit flourish. According to the Book of Daniel, this ruler is from the Roman Empire.

If then what Daniel saw is synonymous to the vision of John in the island of Patmos, the antichrist cannot come from Islam community. If not, there are still questions surrounding the Roman Empire. Besides that, there is really little to prove that an Islam could be the antichrist.
