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 little boy, God gives Abraham one more test of faith. He tells him to go into the mountains with Isaac and offer him in sacrifice as a burnt offering. At the last possible moment before Abraham carries out God's instructions, an angel appears and prevents him from raising his knife at the boy. Isaac fulfills his destiny of becoming the grandfather of the twelve men who will lead the tribes of Israel.
Many skeptics of Christianity point out that both Judaism and Islam were religions long before Christianity. This is untrue. The birth of Christ, the Messiah, was prophesied for hundreds before the birth of Jesus.
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?
