The Bible and the Koran offer an account of the rise of a ruler before judgment day. The coincidences have led Christians to ask the question will the antichrist be a Muslim? This is a puzzle that has kept theologians on both sides busy in an attempt to provide an answer. The conclusions made are personal and out of research and evaluation of available scripture.
The Koran gives an account of an Imam whose return shall signal the judgment days. He is said to have disappeared at a tender age but is to come back before the final judgment. His return should be taken as days towards the end of the world. The accounts in the bible indicate that a ruler will rise at the same time. Those making the conclusion on Muslims base their answer on such reading.
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.
Signals for end times include the broken promise of peace for Israel. The beast will demand that his subjects regard him as God. He will dictate over the earth. Christians are required to be vigilante not to fall for his tricks and intrigues. The similarity between a person who reigns before end times and the return of the Imam at the same time are the issues that lead to this conclusion.
The book of Daniel gives an account of the antichrist in a way that seems to exonerate Muslims. Daniel mentions the Roman Empire in relation to the beast. Besides being the ruler, a lot of intrigues shall be witnessed, deceit and claim to be equal with God. It is the mention of Roman Empire that takes 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.
