The concept of a Muslim antichrist provides yet more evidence that the three Abrahamic religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam, are more fundamentally united than they are divided. In the Bible, Abraham is the father of Isaac, the father of the Jews, and Ishmael, the father of the Muslims. Isaac, the younger of the two, was born of Sarah, Abraham's legal wife, while Ishmael was the offspring of Leah, Sarah's maid.
God made a promise to Abraham that he would be the father of more descendants than he could ever count. At this point, both Abraham and Sarah were in their 70s and 80s. Sarah lost hope of ever having a child of her own. She hatches a plan to have her maid, Hagar, have a child by Abraham. Both Abraham and Hagar agree. Once Hagar is pregnant, Sarah has a change of heart and throws her out of the house.
An angel of the Lord sees Hagar fleeing from her angry mistress. He told her that she would have more descendants than she could count, and to go back to Sarah. He also told her that her baby's name would be Ishmael, and that he would turn out to be a "wild donkey of a man" and live in hostility with all his brothers. Hagar returned to the household of Abraham and Sarah and had her baby, whom Abraham did christen, Ishmael. At this time, Abraham was 86 years old and Sarah, 77.
As Ishmael enters his teens, God comes before Abraham and lets him know that he will finally fulfill his promise to Sarah and give her a son. He tells Abraham to name the child Isaac. He assures Abraham that he will bless Ishmael with 12 sons. They will become the rulers of a great nation.
Later, God decides to test Abraham. He asks him to take Isaac to the mountains and sacrifice him as a burnt offering. Having complete faith in God, Abraham obeys. Just as he is raising his hand to slay his son, an angel stops him. Isaac goes on to father Jacob, who, with the assistance of his two wives and their two maidservants, begets the rulers of the twelve tribes of Israel.
A lot of people believe that, because the nations of Israel and Islam were formed hundreds of years before the birth of Christ, that Christianity is somehow a less valid religion than the other two. Not true. The birth of Christ was part of the same timeline and had been prophesied for hundreds of years before His birth.
God sent his Son to die for the sins of mankind. It was the only legal way He could reclaim the souls lost to Satan when he tempted Adam and Eve into sin. Christ was crucified and He will return.
Who is the Islamic antichrist? according to Muslim eschatology, his name is Masih ad-Dajjal, and he will be the last of 30 false prophets, who will also be called Dajjal. The signs that will appear when the end times are close are things like people will stop praying, lying will be praised as a virtue, people will turn to worshiping Satan and elderly people will no longer be held in esteem. Should today's Baby Boomer's be concerned?
