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.
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 this spirit that is not of God is in the world already. Although there were many antichrists than and there are many today, one eventually rises rise to power that cannot be challenged by earthly forces. He will come in God's name at first but then deny that there is any god but himself.
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.
