Numerous individuals who follow the Christian faith have wondered over the years whether or not we can expect a Muslim antichrist to eventually appear in the world. The consensus for many years has been that this individual will descend from a European country or from Rome. It is likely that such philosophies are based on scriptures in the book of Daniel that refer to this individual as a descendent of those who were responsible for destroying the Temple in 70 A. D. The Bible states that the latter individuals were Romans.
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.
Others have formed philosophies based on scriptures that seem to indicate the Anti-Christ may be a non-Jewish person. For instance, in the Bible book of Revelation, this figure is pictured as a beast rising "from the sea." When the latter phrase is used in other areas of the Bible, it refers 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.
Conflicting opinions exist concerning the subject, which has led many Christians to conduct their own research projects. This has resulted in various theories concerning the details of this topic. However, those who embark upon such studies typically find that research projects of this kind are both rewarding and interesting.
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.
