The Scriptural Case for an Islamic Antichrist

The Scriptural Case for an Islamic Antichrist
Joel Richardson argues against the traditional view of an anti-Christ arising from Europe and/or a revived Roman Empire and instead argues that the anti-Christ will arise from Islam and the Middle East.
The purpose of this interview is to provide a solid Biblical case for his view and to answer objections that have been made to it.

@@ProphetGreg94 the Rapture is a false doctrine and you saying Yahshua already came back the Lord rebuke you, Satan. The pre-tribulation rapture didn’t start until the early 1800s originated by a girl name Margaret McDonald, who was sick it was having hallucinations then John Nelson Derby got his hands on the information and ran with it and then finally see I Schofield, which created the Schofield study Bible. It is a false doctrine. It is demonic at its core, and it’s designed to keep people in a mindset that they are not going to have to be ready for endurance, and think that they’re not gonna have to go through all the stuff that’s going to happen during the tribulation.

[@stevent8314]

The rapture has not occurred yet. That Preterist view is based in the un-belief (limited belief) of the scriptures. There was no Israel at the time this doctrine developed therefore all the prophecies of Daniel, Zechariah, Matthew, Thessalonians, Corinthians & Revelations had to be allegorized, or spiritualized in order to keep their doctrine intact. God is clear thruout His Word that Israel will be saved from the forces of the anti-Christ. He is not done with Israel. Jesus prophesied Himself that the Sanhedrin & Israel would not see Him again until they proclaim, “Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the LORD!” Jesus will return at the end of the Great Tribulation when the remnant in Israel professes the Yeshua is the Messiah! There is now an Israel & a Sanhedrin. And faith in Yeshua is higher now among practicing Jews than at any time since the First Century AD.

Joel needs to be invited to more shows online and churches world wide - his insights and anointing to provide context to Christians now so that we can prepare - is very important. Time is very short.

Where is the power structure in the mideast to stop you buying or selling? Does Joel mention this? Where are the multitudes, nations and tongues in the mideast?

[@TDoll77]

Frontier Alliance International-FAI for short has an app. They have a ton of teaching with Joel and other great teachers, check them out. He’s not invited to a lot of main stream churches because he doesn’t teach from a dispensational, pre-trip, Western church mind set. So many of us have been programmed to read the Bible one way, the way the Bible schools in America teach.. The Bible was not written from a Western mindset it’s a MiddleEastern centric book with the world they knew back then. However the Middleast is very diverse, with tons of ethnicities and languages, especially if you count modern Israel. Walking down the streets of Jerusalem alone you can hear hundreds of languages from people from all over the world. The Middleast has also infiltrated every country in the world. The past few weeks I’ve seen protests from around the globe all flying flags and chanting a common mantra a Middleastern mantra, with one unified spirit of hate, if you cann’t see it then you aren’t looking in the right direction.

[@theeternalsbeliever1779]

This statement is extremely far from being true when it comes to the church Christ leads. God has revealed more truths within the last 2 eras of His Church than any of the previous eras, including the 1st one. And before anyone scoffs, Chris Himself prophesied in Matt. 17:10 that an end-time Elijah would restore the true Christian doctrines. Traditional Christianity being in the dark ages simply proves Catholicism and Protestantism are false religions.

How about the pope having his little idol? Or approving of anti-biblical marriage? What is more likely… a Jew who believe a mslm is the king of the Jews/ or a European born Jew ? Europe is a continent/ Eurasia is an area of it. Zero chance we’d believe Jesus is a mslm. Mercy. The very idea is ridiculous

Vlad, great questions!

[@kevinhullinger8743]

Well done, very relevant and I highly recommend reading the Mideast Beast by Joel.

[@JoshuaSmithFamilyRobinson]

So glad that you did this interview. I believe it is something the church urgently needs to take notice of, as if Jesus did want his church to be aware of the end times, it’s important we are not caught off guard.

This argument and the associated theology comes from straight from the mind of the devil. It's the kind of argument that comes from a false religion that is based around concern for the self. Throughout Ezekiel, God tells His ppl that the only way to save their own lives is to warn unrepentant ppl of the sword that is coming. In addition to that, He says those ppl _will_ be held responsible for the deaths of the unrepentant if they aren't warned.

In 8:53 minutes onward, he said, "Actually it is the "Blood of His (Christ) enemies" (that soak Christ's robe)... the Bible said, "The Blood of the Lamb" not the Blood of the Enemies that washed the clothes of God's People... My big problem is Revelation 18:24, which I am still puzzled/baffled until, now... The Harlot Woman (Mystery Babylon the Great) riding the Dragon (Satan) be found responsible for the Blood of the Prophets and Saints, and of ALL that were SLAIN (murdered) upon the Earth."... Of the 8 Empires (Beasts), 6 had fallen in the past namely the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Medo-Persian, Greeks, and Romans had fallen/gone plus 2 more in our present generation (the 8th Empire which is of the 7th Empire that was badly wounded but healed) which will be found responsible for the Blood of the Prophets, Saints, and of All that were SLAIN upon the Earth... How can the Ottoman Empire (7th Empire) and Islamic Caliphate/Shah of Iran (8th of the 7th Empire) be found responsible mentioned in Rev. 18:24?

The first historical trace for Islam as a religion comes from the Umayyad caliphate which dominated the Mediterranean and was centered around the home of the ancient seafaring Phoenicians. It started exactly 666 years after the birth of Christ. The Dome of the Rock, the abomination of desolation, was erected on the temple site exactly 365 x 3.5 years after Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonians, ushering in the Time of the Gentiles. The Abbasid Caliphate, centered geographically around ancient Babylon, invented most of what is now know as Islam, inventing false stories about the image of the beast who is the Prophet Muhammad, he who shall not be drawn. While the image of God is Christ who was fully human and fully God, the image of the beast is a phantom, a fake legendary man whom the masses still venerate today. Jerusalem was not liberated until 365 x 3.5 years after the erection of the Dome of the Rock.

Pretty sure the first caliphate was the Rashidun and not the Umayyad

The tribulation we have now on earth is wrath from man and satan, not God. The Tribulation at the end will be from God which the church is not appointed to.

[@marleneholloway7775]

Yes agree.

[@theeternalsbeliever1779]

This is demonstrably false, as Rev. 3, 12, and 14 shows the Laodiceans being made to experience the Tribulation if they don't repent. Contrary the false theology of rapturists, God will not provide safety for someone just because they're a "believer". Christ can plainly be seen telling the Laodiceans that they _will_ be spat out of His mouth and corrected in the fires of the Tribulation if they don't repent of rejecting His government(Rev. 3:16, 19, Mal. 3:2-5).

The Ottoman Empire was the 7th Beast that was ABOLISHED (slain/wounded) at the end of World War I (1922 A.D.)... The Ottoman Empire was established in 1299 A.D. under the Banner of the Islamic (Muslim) Religion. According to Daniel, the FEET of the Statue was mixed with "IRON and CLAY" which means MILITARY (Iron) and RELIGION (Clay/Islam)... Based on the Bible, their method of Capital Punishment is BEHEADING... Muslims believe also in Christ Jesus as a Prophet only who will come back (return also) to wipe out and eradicate first and foremost the Israelite Jews (Judaism), and then followed by the Christians (Christianity)... The OTTOMAN Empire is now been revived (whose severe wound was healed) by the establishment of the Islamic Caliphate (Shah) of IRAN who is the 8th Beast that has already built their Nuclear Facilities in Secrecy... The USA and the UK never funded any TERRORISM (murdering innocent civilians) at the present time, but some Islamic Nations led by IRAN do (Hamas and Hezbollah)... The USA, UK, France, Germany, China, and Russia, are just some of the Nations (Puppets) that drink with the FORNICATION (wealth/oil/gold/gems) of the WOMAN (Islamic Religion) dressed in scarlet red (purple) sitting on the Dragon (Satan)... MONEY (wealth of the Earth/Gold/Oil/gems, etc,) buys off POWER and AUTHORITY which the USA provides their Military Might support to them... The USA owes a National DEBT of more than 3 TRILLIONS of Dollars of Financial Deficit as of 2020 and still growing, facts, and truth. The once good Organization for Peace and Human Rights Advocat/Protector, the UN Council is now influenced/infiltrated by the Islamic Nations against Israel and will soon be headed by an ISLAMIC leader (UN Council General) in the days to come, which will change everything, with their agendas, by-laws, principles, as well as rules and regulations... SHARIA LAW (the Islamic Law) is what they want to govern as the LAW of the Earth (all Nations)... which eventually will lead to WWIII soon... (perhaps, the Battle of Armageddon?) All Glory, Praise, and Thanksgiving belong only to God through Christ Jesus... Amen...

Exactly! Islamic theology is the definitive definition of antichrist, denying the Father, the Son, the Incarnation, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. Islam owns a quarter of the world's land and a quarter the world's population. All they need to do is get united.

Nope. Do you really believe Islam can fool Christians? 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

[@jvlp2046]

@@jamescole3152 Definitely, YES!... Many Christian believers most especially the "Christian by Name Only" will be DECEIVED, even the Elders of the Church, according to the Bible... "For False Christ (Islam AntiChrist) and False Prophets will perform Miracles, Great Signs, and Wonders to deceive even the Elect." (ref. Matt. 24:24)... the Holy Scriptures will never LIE... "Heaven and Earth will fade/pass away (disappear/gone) but MY (God's) WORD will still remain to be fulfilled... (ref. Matt. 24:35)... Amen. Matthew 24:4... "Take heed that no one deceived you." ... was just a WARNING and ADVICE to the Christians, but mankind still has the Gift of FREEWILL from God to choose... aside from that, Human Beings have Physical (Flesh/Body) Weaknesses towards Earthly matter, miracles, great signs, and wonders...

​@@jamescole3152Perhaps it will be related to the organization, entity, or person that brokers a peace in the Mideast? Perhaps after we have had a limited nuclear war or worldwide economic collapse? That would explain the weakness of the West and the shift to the Middle East? Perhaps this entity will not really present itself as "rigid Islam" but rather a benevolent entity like the Ottoman Empire which allowed Christians and Jews to worship as they wanted. (As has been claimed by some ) I would not think so many people could be easily misled by propaganda until recent events occurred. It is almost as if any common sense left in the West just rode off into the sunset--never to be seen again! I am not a Biblical scholar, but I do intend to read some of Joel's books. BTW I have always felt the biblical support for a pre-trib rapture was a bit thin. I am hoping for one, but should not expect one to happen.
