Ever since ancient times the Antichrist is always been of European Decent. There have been entitlements that developed in regard to the foretold the false messiah being of Islamic Origin. Opinions and different points of views have been raised across different religious based groups regarding the impending approach of the Antichrist. The question that many ask is, Will the Antichrist Be a Muslim? We look at these discussions brought forth across both platforms, the Islamic and Christian Antichrist.
According to a section of Islamic community, the Shiite, who are highly populated in Iraq, believe that there have been twelve prophets who came after Prophet Mohamed. The prophets who are referred to as Imams are the spiritual leaders of the Islamic community. The twelfth Imam was called Muhammad Al Mahdi born around 868, who entered a cave while aged six years to hide from a time where persecution was rampant and will return from the cave just before the judgment day.
A group of Christian scholars argue the anticipated Anti-christ will hail from the Islamic community. The claims are based on the book of Micah, where he foretells the invasion of Israel by the Assyrians. Micah refers to The Assyrians as the Antichrist. The scholars further indicate that he is portrayed as a leopard that has a mouth like that of lion and the feet like those of a bear in the book of revelation. Prophet Daniel describes the Medo-Persian empire to be leopard like.
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.
Further evidence further points out the Assyrian which is referred in the bible dos not necessarily pay reference to Antichrist. This evidence is emphasized in the book of Micah, where the Assyrian referred to in the book was the enemy of Israel, and God had offered to protect Israel from all enemies.
Also the Assyrians are mostly Christians further countering the implication of a Muslim Antichrist. Huge populations of Assyrians are mostly found in the countries of Syria, Iraq and Turkey. Even with them living in Islamic nations they are mostly Christians. This further reduces the claims of the false messiah being a Muslim.
