Today many are seeing end times signs in earthquakes, severe storms, volcanic eruptions, and wide-spread immorality. The rise of a world leader who will take over not only all governments but also all religions of the world is now a hot topic. Will the antichrist be a Muslim? This is just one of many questions, but there are answers.
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.
He than says that the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ is the antichrist. This man denies the Father and the Son. This could fit many people, including Muslims. However, this does not negate the former qualification of once being a part of the Christian church.
Later in his first epistle, John says that the spirit of antichrist does not acknowledge Jesus come in the flesh. He also states that this spirit that is not of God is already in the world. Since he tells us that there are many antichrists, the fact of their presence in John's day does not interfere with the idea of one, very powerful man who will come in an anti-God campaign in the last times.
In his next letter, John states that there are many come into the world to lie and deceive, all of whom are antichrists. Every Christian should be familiar with the admonition that our warfare is not carnal but spiritual, so the idea of one spirit indwelling many different people should not be surprising. This spiritual warfare comes from Satan, who imitates God in many ways. As God works through human beings to save, Satan works through humans to destroy.
Paul also speaks of liars and deceivers who roam around trying to disrupt the kingdom of God. He does not use the same term as John but writes of the 'man of sin' and the 'son of perdition'. He tells us that signs and wonders that will accompany this man will deceive many, and warns believers to test the spirits.
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.
