islam and final things

Islam and Future events

MI 396Dr. Robert Patton

Christian view of eschatology (last things)

Rapture – can occur at any time. I take a pre-tribulation position

The great tr ibulation (on earth) – seven years long

Judgment seat of Christ and the marriage of the Lamb (heaven)

Return of Christ to Mil lenial reign

Christian view of the tribulation

The AntiChrist wil l arise, and sign a seven year contract with Israel

There wil l be great f ighting and problems About 50% of mankind is destroyed The earth itself is nearly destroyed Israel is almost destroyed

05/17/15 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 wil l place his mark on everyone so that they can only buy and sell with the mark

Those who do not submit are beheaded

05/17/15 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 sti l l 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 l ike Jesus (?Judas)

The Madhi wil l come (12ers believe that he has been hidden since 9 t h century) during world chaos.

Dajjal wil l be causing much of the trouble05/17/15 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

kil ls Dajjal Islam triumphs. Isa l ives 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 f lag Lunar & solar eclipse on Ramadan Star with luminous tail wil l appear


Marks of Madhi coming Restore faith & remove corruption Islam will prevail worldwide Broad forehead, prominent nose,

eyes mascaraed Fill the world with justice and fairness

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 l ike Muhammad Speaks with slight stutter, occasionally

hit his thigh from frustration of stutter He will defeat Bani Kalb tribe,

distribute spoils; Islam wil l conquer the world


Madhi Voice from heaven wil l 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 wil l 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 Islam05/17/15 Les 1 Santa Jejej 17

Biblical AntiChrist Superb mili tary and polit ical

genius Spiritual leader of entire world Made peace treaty with Jews Breaks peace treaty Kills Jews & Christians

systematically Captures & controls Jerusalem05/17/15 Les 1 Santa Jejej 18

Biblical AntiChrist Changes t imes and laws Blasphemes God & sets himself
