Numerous Christians are curious about whether or not a Muslim Antichrist will eventually appear in the world. The conventional viewpoint within most Judeo-Christian churches is that this individual will be European or Roman. In all likelihood, this philosophy stems from information found in the book of Daniel in the Bible, which calls the aforementioned individual a descendent of those who destroyed the Temple. The Bible records these individuals as Romans, and states that they destroyed the Temple in the year 70 A. D.
Eschatologists also have conflicting opinions with regard to whether or not this individual will try to claim he is a Jew or a Christian. Numerous individuals believe that John's Gospel refers to a Jewish Antichrist. Some people are of the opinion that he will have to be a Jew himself or at the very least masquerade as one in order to deceive the Jewish people and gain acceptance among this race.
Another group of individuals believe that certain Scriptures indicate the Anti-Christ will not be Jewish. For example, in Revelation, this person is depicted as a beast that comes "out of the sea." When this particular phrase is used in other sections of the Bible, it is referring to "Gentile nations."
Yet another argument currently underway among various Christian organizations is that the Antichrist is a Muslim. This is one of the most popular schools of thought in today's modern world, and may be influenced by current events. The latter include the recent awakening of Islam, and the Muslims' revived territorial goal of bringing their religion to every country in the world.
Several books have been written on this topic by those who are knowledgeable concerning eschatology. In one book, a biblical foundation is laid asserting that this individual will indeed be a Muslim. Several other books allude to this fact without actually coming out and saying that this is the case.
Because certain Scriptures reference an evil prophet who works in conjunction with aforementioned Antichrist, some individuals believe that one of these people will be a Muslim, while the other will be a Jew. As previously mentioned, however, others state they will be Roman or European.
Due to the fact that there are numerous conflicting philosophies on the subject, many Christians have conducted their own research on the topic. Of course, different individuals have come to different conclusions regarding whether or not the aforementioned individual will be a Muslim. However, those who have completed research of this kind have probably found that such studies are both interesting and rewarding.
It remains to be seen if a Muslim Antichrist will eventually enter the world. Virtually all Christians agree that we are living in the end times, even if conflicting theories arise about the aforementioned topic. Ultimately, Christians must wait and watch, and do everything possible to hear God's direction concerning who can and cannot be trusted in today's modern world. Because no person knows precisely when this dreaded individual will first appear, all Christians are wise to pray about such matters on a regular basis.
