The existence of a Muslim antichrist reinforces the idea that there is more to unite the three Abrahamic religions, Islam, Judaism and Christianity, than there is to divide them. In the Bible, both Isaac and Ishmael were born of Abraham. Jesus, too, is descended from Abraham.
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.
Thirteen years after the birth of Ishmael, God appeared to Abraham and informed him that He would give him a son by Sarah, and that the boy's name would be Isaac. He went on to say that Ishmael would be the father of twelve sons, who would become rulers, and they would be a great nation. Here, God is letting Abraham know that He would bless Ishmael.
While Isaac is a small child, God tests Abraham by asking him to go into the mountains and sacrifice the boy as a burnt offering. Abraham has total faith in Isaac and knows the boy will not come to any harm. He prepares to fulfill his mission when an angel steps in and stops him at the last minute. God is assured of Abraham's faith. Isaac grows up and has a son named Jacob, who goes on to father 12 sons who became leaders of the twelve original 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 only Son to be crucified for the sins of all mankind. Satan had won control of the souls on Earth when Adam and Eve sinned by eating from the Tree of Knowledge. The only way God could redeem these souls was by sacrificing His Son.
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?
