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.
The Shiite who are found in regions of Iraq, who are an Islamic community have always believed that after the death of prophet Muhammad, there were twelve prophets who came forth. The prophets are also referred to Imams from a Muslim perspective. The prophet, who was born around 868, was Imam Muhammad Al Mahdi who was number twelve among the twelve prophets. He entered into a cave while 12 years of age, due to the persecution. During the end times the prophet will emerge from the cave.
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.
Other Bible Scholars refer to the book of Daniel where he describes a vision about a succession of empires. Daniel describes a ram representing the Medo-Persian Empire which is trampled by a goat which had a unique horn between its eyes. They all are in agreement that the horn represents Antiochus Epiphanes who arose out of the Seleucid section of Alexanders empire.
Despite all this arguments, there are also claims that the false messiah is not going to be from Islamic Religion. Prophet Daniel speaks about a peace agreement between the fake messiah and Israel for duration of seven years. Prophet Daniel goes on and prophesies about the recreation of the temple by the Antichrist. Further evidence further points the fake messiah will not be Islam due to the hostile nature between Christian community and the Islamic community.
Some scholars further claim that he is not going to be a Muslim due to Geographic locality. According to the bible the anticipated Antichrist is going to emerge from the new Roman Empire, which will be in the countries where the former Roman Empire was located. Sections of Europe and some parts of Africa made part of the Roman Empire yet Europeans have led the Empire and not 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.
The people of Assyrian are largely Christians reducing the association of the fake messiah being a Muslim. Vast populations of Assyrians are located in Syria, turkey and Iraq. In spite of most of these populations living in Islamic nations most are Christians. This is among the reason that reduces the arguments of the Antichrist emerging from Muslims.
