In these troubling times, when signs seem to fulfill the Bible's description of the end times, many people ask; Will the antichrist be a Muslim? Since our best source of the agenda of this embodiment of evil is the Christian Bible, it makes sense to go there and find out.
The religion of Islam is practiced all over the world today, and it makes sense that such a universal system could give rise to a leader with complete power. The fact that violence is a part of life in areas dominated by Islam leads some Christians to think it an embodiment of satanic evil. However, violence is not confined to any one faith but is a fact of human nature.
The one who at first seems to have all the answers to the world's problems is given the designation 'antichrist' in letters written by the apostle John. In his first epistle, John says that many such people come 'out from us'. He says that, although the liars and deceivers were in the church body, their defection is proof that they were never truly of the faith.
John tells us that the antichrists all deny the Father and the Son. This is the main qualification for being one who has the spirit that wants the position of the deity. Although denying Jesus as God in flesh fits Muslims, it does not eliminate the fact that the supreme world leader will come out of the fellowship of christian believers.
John tells us that the spirit is already in the world. This makes sense in a Christian context, since Satan was cast out of heaven for wishing to elevate himself to the status of God. He fell to earth, where he deceived the first man and first woman into disobeying God their Father. This wish to displace God is the driving force behind world domination by the one who holds ultimate power in the end times.
Christian scripture tells us that the believers war not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces. Satan works his evil through mankind, in a clear imitation of how God blesses the world through the good works of His people. It is understandable that the spirit of evil can animate many people throughout all periods of time.
When Paul cautions believers against coming deceivers and liars, he does not use the same name for them. He uses the term 'man of sin' and 'son of perdition'. All through the Bible, we are told that Satan is at work in the world. He has always wanted the worship and devotion given to God, and Satan is who was defeated at the cross. This is Christian doctrine from beginning to end.
Will the antichrist be a Muslim? is a question that people ask if they do not know what the Bible says about this world leader. It pays to read scripture for clues to the future and ways to stay safe in face of cataclysmic world events.
