Many Christians wonder whether or not there will eventually be a Muslim Antichrist. The traditional viewpoint within the majority of Christian churches is that this person will be of Roman or European descent. In all probability, this philosophy is based on a statement in one of the books of the Bible, Daniel, which calls this person a descendent of the people who destroyed the Temple. The latter proved to be Romans, who were recorded in the Bible as having destroyed the Temple in 70 A. D.
Scholars are also divided with regard to whether or not this person will claim to be a Christian or a Jew. Many people believe that the Gospel of John states that the Antichrist will be Jewish. Certain individuals think that in order deceive the Jewish people and be accepted by their race, he will have to be, or at the very least masquerade, as a Jew himself.
Other individuals have based their theories on certain verses in the Bible that seem to indicate that a non-Jewish person will be the anti-Christ. For example, in the last book of the Bible, which is called the Revelation, this individual is depicted as a beast that arises "from the water." When that phrase is used other times throughout the Scriptures, it is always used to describe a "Gentile nation."
Yet another argument is that this individual will be a Muslim. This is the current and the most popular philosophy among most Christians. It may have caught on because of the recent and obvious renewal of the Muslims' goal to conquer all the nations of the world in the name of their god Allah.
Various books have been written on the subject by knowledgeable eschatologists. In one such book, the author asserts that the anti-Christ will be a Muslim and offers a biblical foundation for this theory. Other books also allude to this philosophy without overtly referencing Muslims.
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.
There are many conflicting opinions about this topic, and therefore numerous Christians have completed their own research on the subject. Of course, not everyone has come to the same conclusion concerning whether or not the Antichrist will be a Muslim. However, anyone who has completed such research has likely found that a study project of this type is both rewarding and interesting.
Whether or not there will eventually be a Muslim Antichrist remains to be seen. Although there are conflicting opinions about the race from which this individual will descend, almost all Christians agree that the end times are here. For this reason, Christians must simply watch and wait, and try to hear God's voice concerning which public figures can be trusted, and which may have sinister agendas. Because no one knows exactly when the Antichrist will appear, it is wise for Christians to keep such matters in prayer.
