Islam and
Future events
MI 396
Dr. Robert Patton

Christian view of
eschatology (last things)
 Rapture – can occur at any time. I
take a pre-tribulation position
 The great tribulation (on earth) –
seven years long
 Judgment seat of Christ and the
marriage of the Lamb (heaven)
 Return of Christ to Millenial reign

Christian view of the
tribulation
 The AntiChrist will arise, and sign a
seven year contract with Israel
 There will be great fighting and
problems
 About 50% of mankind is destroyed
 The earth itself is nearly destroyed
 Israel is almost destroyed
11/07/16 Les 1 Santa Jejej 3

AntiChrist will be satanically
inspired
 He will be assisted by the false prophet,
who establishes a one-world religion,
but later it is destroyed
 AntiChrist will place his mark on
everyone so that they can only buy and
sell with the mark
 Those who do not submit are beheaded
11/07/16 4

AntiChrist leads a coalition
against Jerusalem
 His desire is total annihilation of
the Jews.
 He breaks his seven year
contract after 3 ½ years and sets
up his own image in the rebuilt
temple, demanding worship or
death

Battle of Armageddon
 God hides 1/3 of Jews in Petra
 AntiChrist’s army battles the believers
who have accepted Christ and may still
be alive
 Christ comes with angels and saints,
and destroys antichrist, the false
prophet, and their armies

Christ sets up the millennial
rule
 The remaining Jews are saved
 The armies of AntiChrist are
destroyed
 The millennium is set up

Final things according to Islam
 Jesus did not die on the cross, but
was taken directly to heaven. Allah
changed someone to look like Jesus
(?Judas)
 The Madhi will come (12ers believe
that he has been hidden since 9th
century) during world chaos.
 Dajjal will be causing much of the
trouble11/07/16 Les 1 Santa Jejej 8

Isa (Jesus) returns
 Isa comes out of heaven, not as a
Christian but as a Muslim
 He fights with the Madhi and personally
kills Dajjal
 Islam triumphs.
 Isa lives 40 years on earth, marries
and has children, and dies later as a
great prophet

Important beliefs for Muslims
 Allah – one transcendent God
 Last days (and judgment day)
 Angels
 Scripture (for them ultimately,
Qur’an)
 Prophets

Shia signs for the coming of
the Madhi
 Red death (sword) white death
(plague)
 One eyed Dajjal & Sufyani (bad guy
who is a Muslim) come
 Arabs revolt against authority of
foreigners
 Confict in Syria which is destroyed
 Death and fear in Baghdad, red sky

Marks of Madhi coming
 Descendent of Muhammad & Fatima
 His name is Muhammad
 Ruling 7, 9, or 19 years
 Distribute wealth, raise black flag

 Star with luminous tail will appear

Marks of Madhi coming
 Restore faith & remove corruption
 Islam will prevail worldwide

in place of oppression

Sunni ideas about the marks
of Madhi coming
 They believe he comes from
Muhammad’s family and from Al
Hasan
 He has not yet been born (Shi’a
believe he his hidden)
 12er Shiites believe that the Madhi
was born about 869 – others don’t

Madhi
 Tall, fair complexion, broad forehead
and prominent nose
 Personality like Muhammad
 Speaks with slight stutter, occasionally
hit his thigh from frustration of stutter
 He will defeat Bani Kalb tribe,
distribute spoils; Islam will conquer
the world

Madhi
 Voice from heaven will announce him
 Makes 4 covenants, the last with
Christians mediated by Jews for 7
years. Madhi comes then to power
 Rides a white horse (Muslims state
Rev. 6:2 is the Madhi)

Madhi
 Unstoppable army with black flags
coming from east (Afghaistan)
 Army will capture Israel, slaughter the
Jews and set up headquarters in
Jerusalem
 Madhi controls rain, wind & crops
 He discovers Torah in Syria to show
Jews the rightness of Islam

Biblical AntiChrist
 Superb military and political
genius

 Breaks peace treaty
 Kills Jews & Christians
systematically
 Captures & controls Jerusalem

Biblical AntiChrist
 Changes times and laws
 Blasphemes God & sets himself
up like God
 Works together with the False
Prophet and Satan
 Destroyed by God & cast into hell

Madhi vs. Biblical AntiChrist
 Both deny the trinity (see I Jn.
2:22) Note shahada puts
Muhammad above Jesus
 Both deny the Father and the Son
– I Jn. 4:2-3
 Muslims deny Christ’s deity,
incarnation, death and
resurrection

Muslim pure monotheism
 Tawhid – God is one
 Jesus is not God
 God has no son, and no children
 Calling Jesus as God is “shirk” –
the Islamic unpardonable sin
 Both the Madhi & antichrist deny
the cross

Both the Madhi and antichrist
deceive
 Allah is the greatest of deceivers
– Sura 3:54
 Antichrist deceives – II Jn. 7, 2
Thess 2:9

Madhi vs. Antichrist
 Both will change times and laws
 Both regard women as less than
men, or disregard them: Surah
2:282; Daniel 7:25
 Perhaps both will rule over 10
entities – Rev. 17:12-13; Muslim
plan that the caliph will be helped
by 10 man council

 Both will change times and laws
 Muslim countries use lunar
calendar of 360 or so days –
actually about 10 days shorter
than solar
 Starts with hijra – AD 622
 Law – must be Shari’a law

 Both claim to be the messiah
 Both will ride a white horse
 Both work “false” miracles
 Both work with the “god of forces”
and result in beheading many
 Both take booty and loot, and
seek glory through war

 Both use rape as a part of war
 Both make a treaty for seven years.
Muslim tradition states that it will be
made through the mediation of a
Jewish priest
 Both deceive through peace treaties

Mahdi vs. Antichrist
 Both want world domination & destroy
all others in their way
 Both have armies coming from Turkey
(in the Bible, it uses Ionia, but refers to
western Turkey, not Greece)
 Both practice beheading – Surah 47;
Surah 8:12 – Long history of Islam
starting with Muhammad at Medina

Mahdi vs. Antichrist
 Both hate Israel & the Jews
 Both want the temple mount and
Jerusalem as center of
operations
 Both desecrate bodies of the
dead

Everything twisted around
 The characteristics of the Islamic
messiah, the Madhi, matches those
described in the Bible for antichrist
 Al Dajjal is described by Muslims as a
false Jesus. He will have all power,
will heal the sick, and many will love
him.
 The Madhi will kill him and defeat
70,000 Jews with him according to11/07/16 Les 1 Santa Jejej 29

Isa (Jesus) of the Qur’an
 Isa was born of the virgin Mary
Surah 19:19-21
 Isa spoke from the cradle: Surah
19:27-33 Specially blessed:
19:31
 Supernatural wisdom: Surah 3:48
 Endowed with the Holy Spirit:
Surah 2:87

 Called the Word of God: Surah 4:171
 Allah’s messiah: Surah 39:44-45
 Jesus made a clay bird come to life as
a child. He raised the dead and did
many miracles: Surah 5:110; 3:49
 The Jews thought they crucificied him
but they did not: Surah 4:157-158

 Isa ascended directly into heaven:
Surah 3:55
 But they deny the incarnation, death
and resurrection of the Lord.
 They claim that he returns from
heaven as a radical Muslim and forces
the Jews to recant, and he kills al
Dajjal

Muslim Jesus returning from
heaven – their tradition
 Returns – mosque near Damascus
 Arrives when Madhi starts prayers.
Madhi asks him to lead, but he
declines, saying that the Madhi is the
leader of the Muslims, and prays as a
subordinate
 He is a faithful Muslim
 He makes the Hajj
11/07/16 33

 Salutes Muhammad’s grave and
Muhammad salutes back from the
grave
 Destroys Christianity
 Abolishes the jizya tax – now only two
options – convert or die
 Enforces Shari’a law throughout the
earth

 Kills their antichrist Dajjal and his
followers, mostly Jews & women
 Lives 40 years on earth, marries
and has children and dies
 He is buried next to Muhammad

Ad-Dajjal – Muslim tradition
Jewish false messiah
 One blind eye, curly hair, something
wrong with one foot
 Claims first to be prophet, then God
 Has hell fire by his side; forces people
to follow him or pushed into hell fire
though it is an illusion, cool and safe
 Word kafir written between his eyes

 Travels great speed on white mule
 Can heal the sick wiping his hand, and
raise the dead
 Deceives people by his powers
 Comes to earth for 40 days, first as
long as a year, second as a month,
third as a week, then normal

 Tries to go to Mecca & Medina but
blocked by angels
 Goes to Syria, confronted by Madhi
 There will be a great battle in which
Isa, who descends to Damascus, will
defeat and destroy Dajjal at Lydda.
His breath will melt Dajjal, and he
thrusts a spear into his chest

Isa
 He will abolish the jizya tax and
break all crosses
 Note – Muslim tradtion of the
signs of the end and Dajjal are
virtually the same as the signs of
the end and rise of antichrist.

Summary
 Two books: Bible and Qur’an
 Two saviors – Jesus Christ &
Muhammad
 Two returning deliverers – Lord Jesus
Christ and the Madhi
 Two evil ones – Antichrist and Dajjal
 Two assistants – Isa and the False
Prophet
11/07/16 40

Summary
 Thus the Muslim savior (the Madhi) is
the Christian antichrist
 The Muslim antichrist (al Dajjal) is the
Christian messiah
 The Muslim Jesus (Isa) is the
Christian False prophet
 The end is 100% opposite – Qur’an
states total Muslim victory
11/07/16 41

Summary
 There is so much similarity that the
Muslims who fight will believe that
when Christ comes, they are fighting
against al Dajjal.
 They will be convinced that the Madhi
is the true savior – a masterpiece of
deceit by the master of deceit - Satan
11/07/16 42

Where is the northern
confederation?
 Most commentators state that the focus
of antichrist and Armageddon is on
Europe, especially Russia
 But many say that Gog & Magog & cities
are in Asia Minor, not Russia
 Suggestion – Battle of Gog/Magog in
Ezekiel & Armageddon in Revelation =
same battle

Why one battle, not two?
 Ezekiel 38-39 states that God & Jesus
will be IN Israel (not preceding the
return of Christ)
 Both have earthquake: Ezekiel 38:19;
Revelation 16:19-20
 Both have feast for birds of prey: Rev.
19:17; Ezekiel 39:17
 Both invade from the north

Rome or Islam
 Only Islam, not Rome, conquered the
previous 3 empires – Babylon, Persia
and Greece –
 Actually the CULTURE of Greece
conquered Rome culturally even as
Rome conquered Greece militarily
 Rome did not dominate east of the
Euphrates River; defeated by the
Parthians11/07/16 Les 1 Santa Jejej 45

Rome or Islam
 We see Islam replacing Europe with its
population. Europe’s birth rate so low
that it halfs Europeans every 35 years;
Muslims have very high population,
and many Muslim men marry Christian
women and make Muslim children
 Europe is weak morally and militarily

What is the day of the Lord?
 Author Gus Gurganus believes it is the
time God destroys Israel’s enemies at
the end time – tribulation
 Starts with a number of prophecies
against Seir, Edom, Moab, Egypt and
Lebanon for their hatred of Israel – the
Lord will take vengeance

The day of the Lord
 Gurganus believes Joel 2 is really
talking about raptured saints in
glorified bodies returning with Christ to
fight.
 He believes the sword in Christ’s
mouth represents his command to the
saints to fight – not supernatural
destruction
 Judgment of nations = how nations11/07/16 48

Which is the city? Mecca vs.
Rome
 Location – desert of the sea = Arabia
 Multiple people come there (think Hajj)
 Huge foreign work population – but not
offered citizenship
 Many nations drunk on wine (symbol of
oil?) Does not really fit with Catholic
church and communion
11/07/16 49

Which is the city? Mecca vs.
Rome
 Harlot will be destroyed! At least two
Muslim traditions predict destruction of
Mecca & Medina in the last days.
 Bible warns to flee to their own lands
– ?for the foreign work force?
 Businessmen sad that Mecca cannot
buy many things they want to sell any
more

Who is the beast? Both the
kingdom and antiChrist
 The fourth kingdom is Islam, who
encompassed the first three kingdoms
 Roman empire did not destroy other
nations; transformed them with
government, etc.
 Muslim culture destroys other cultures
completely when successful – Shari’a
law, jihad, etc.
11/07/16 51

Who is the beast? Both the
kingdom and antiChrist
 The beast (antichrist) contends with the
two witnesses and kills them – Rev. 11
 Another beast = false prophet
 Forces worship
 Mark – can’t buy or sell without it – 666
 Kills others but Bible calls the martyrs
victorious

Beast & Harlot – relationship
and end according to Bible
 Beast first works with the harlot, then
turns on her (Antichrist destroying
Mecca?)
 Fights against Jesus Christ (true
messiah) and is destroyed. Beast
(antichrist) and false prophet thrown
alive into the lake of fire.

Tentative conclusions
 Much evidence suggests that the
antichrist = Madhi, and that Isa
may in fact resemble the false
prophet rather than Jesus.
 In many ways, Dajjal represents
the real Jesus, our messiah,
though some variation is there

 Opposition in the last days may
not come from Europe.
 Islam seems more likely, with
direct confrontation looming in
the near future
11/07/16 55

 As we look to the future, we see
changes compatible with the
Biblical prediction of the last days
 We should be encouraged to
serve the Lord with more fervor,
and to witness to many for
salvation
11/07/16 56

Addendum – Who is Allah?
 We see that the Madhi =
antiChrist
 Al Dajjal = the Christian Christ
 Merciful
 Isa (Eesa) = the false prophet
 But who is Allah? Is he Jehovah?
 Compassionate
 Creator, etc.
11/07/16 57

 Names of Allah:
 The proud (proudest) one
 The one who causes death
 The great (or greatest) deceiver
 Many other (total 99 names)
11/07/16 58

 Jesus said: Jn. 8:44 Ye are of your
father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and abode not in
the truth, because there is no truth in
him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own: for he is a liar,
and the father of lies.
11/07/16 59

 Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from
heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How art thou cut down to the ground,
which didst weaken the nations. For
thou hast said in thine heart, I will
ascend into heaven, I will exalt my
thrown above the stars of God:
11/07/16 60

 Isaiah 14:13b I will sit also upon the
mount of the congregation, in the side
of the north. I will ascend above the
heights of the clouds; I will be like the
most High.
11/07/16 61

 The Christian finds certain salvation
only in trusting that Jesus Christ died
and shed His blood for him to go to
heaven.
 The Muslim finds certain salvation
only if he trusts in shedding his own
blood as a shahid for Allah with
promise of paradise or the blood of a
kafir.11/07/16 62

 Who is the greatest deceiver than the
one who convinces his followers to die
for him and join him in hell?
11/07/16 63

 Satan also deceived 1/3 of the angels
to follow him in rebellion against the
most High God (Revelation 12:3-9)
 Satan is an angel. Angels do not
reproduce (Mt. 22:30) Thus an angel
cannot be a father, nor have a son.
Thus Allah cannot have a Son!
