Muslim "Messianic" Expectations Align with Antichrist and False Prophet - Bible vs. Islamic Prophecy - Part 9 -- Plus Easter Moments Countdown Days 19 & 18

End Times Eyewitness:
Israel, Islam and the Unfolding
Signs of Messiah's Return

In this final post in this 9-part series on comparing and contrasting Islamic prophecies and End Times prophecies of the Bible, Joel Richardson said this:

[Joel Richardson narrating on the DVD]: "Many other similarities could be listed, but the point is clear: the expectations of many Muslims throughout the earth concerning the Mahdi, and their version of Jesus, bears a striking resemblance to what the Bible describes concerning the Antichrist and the False Prophet. Though as unusual as much of this information may be to Christians, many Muslims believe that their Mahdi is already here on the earth." 

[Joel Richard interviewing Adnar Oktar on the TV program's set:] "We're living in the time of the Mahdi right now?" 

[Adnar Oktar, Turkish Muslim Leader, Television Host [translated and captioned on DVD]: "Yes. We believe that Mahdi is come and is busy with preparation. We believe that he appeared in Istanbul. That is how it is related in the Jewish Scriptures. This is how it is related in Islamic accounts as well. The Shia accounts also state that he will appear in Istanbul. The prominent religious leaders in Iran also state that he will appear in Istanbul. There is no other time for this than now." 

[Joel Richardson summing up in narration on the DVD:] "Simply stated, in light of the many startling ways in which the Islamic Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus align with the Biblical expectations concerning the Antichrist and the False Prophet, discerning Christians would do well to be aware of the rise of Messianic expectations throughout the Islamic world, particularly in light of Jesus' warnings that the last days would be marked by the appearance of "false prophets [who] will arise and mislead many."

And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.  Matthew 24:11

This concludes this series. Stay tuned for posts on the soon coming solar eclipse on the mid-point day of this Shemitah year: March 20th. We'll get ready for that eclipse next week. Please join the Facebook Event now here:

Here, Joel Richardson discusses more about Muslim expectations concerning their two primary Messiah figures with Adnar Oktar of Istanbul, Turkish Muslim Leader, a controversial television host.

[Joel Richardson narrating on the DVD:] "Mr. Oktar even went to far as to claim that during the time of the Mahdi, humans and Djin, essentially the Muslim version of demons, freely communicate and interact. Mr. Oktar even went to far as to claim that Djin would play a premier role in causing Islam to prevail throughout the world." 

[Joel Richardson speaking to Oktar on the set of the TV show:] "You mentioned that during the time of the Mahdi, that the Djin would freely interact with the humans and that they would be able to freely communicate. Could you explain that in a little more detail?" 

[Adnar Oktar, Turkish Muslim Leader, Television Host as translated and captioned on DVD]: "Yes, the Mahdi will communicate with the djinns. Mahdi is the leader of both djinns and of men. Muslim djinns, djinns that believe in God, will assist the Muslims in making Islam prevail throughout the world."

Here's my recap of some of the twisted lies Muslim believe that we've learned about:

• The Mahdi (Muslim religious / military / political leader) will rule the world from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem,
• He will accomplish this along with the "Muslim Jesus" who will return to earth to tell everyone he never died on the cross and everyone should convert to Islam (something the true Jesus would never say or do)
• and the Mahdi will accomplish all this with help of Djinn which are the Muslim version of demons.

Do not be deceived. Someone called "Jesus" working along side demons to rule the world? This is not the real Jesus. This is pure evil.

The true Jesus is the Light of the World. Evil is darkness. Here's a word from the true Word of God:

What fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ [Jesus] with Belial [Satan]? 

Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 

What agreement has the temple of God with idols? 

(2 Corinthians 14b, 15, 16a, ESV)

Bringing you more examples of the lies Islam teaches about the return of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Here's another clip from Joel Richardson's DVD End Times Eyewitness: Israel, Islam and the Unfolding Signs of Messiah's Return.

In this one, Joel Richardson discusses Muslim expectations concerning their two primary Messiah figures with Adnar Oktar of Istanbul, a Turkish Muslim Leader and a controversial television host.

Joel Richardson narrating: "Another striking reality concerning Islamic expectation of the Mahdi is their belief that only he will be able to mediate peace between Israel and the Palestinian peoples…" 

[Joel Richardson, on the television show set with host Oktar, asks:] "Throughout the Middle East there's a yearning and a longing throughout the world for some sort of elusive peace agreement. Some type of program that would cause the state of Israel and the Palestinian people to come to some solution to the ongoing conflict. Do you also believe that it will only be through the mediation of the Mahdi that the Israelis and the Palestinians will find this peace?" 

[Adnar Oktar, Turkish Muslim Leader, television host translated and captioned on DVD]: "Of course. That is not possible without the Mahdi. Neither the Palestinian government or the Israeli government can do this. However, this peace will be established under the leadership of the Mahdi. This is all spoken of by our prophet Muhammad in his prophecies."

"While people are saying, 'Peace and safety,' destruction will come on them suddenly, 

as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape." 

(1 Thessalonians 5:3, NIV 1984)

See also Jeremiah 4:10, 6:14, Ezekiel 13:10.

In my post on February 19, What Legacy Are You Leaving Behind?, I mentioned the DVD End Times Eyewitness. My friend, Walt, loaned me his copy of this DVD and I found much of the information absolutely amazing. The parallels between Bible prophecy and Islamic prophecy astounded me. (Tweet that!)

This information is new to me, so I'm assuming it will be new to many Christians. (Tweet that!) I feel it's important for Christians (and others) to be aware of and informed about what Muslims are saying and believing about these End Times. (Tweet that!) So today I'm starting a series of posts to relate some information from this important DVD.

The DVD is by Joel Richardson, author of the book The Islamic Antichrist, and was produced by WND Films (WorldNetDaily.com).

You know? I truly hate to date myself with the phrase, "I remember when..." But truly, it wasn't that long ago that I remember when popular thought from Bible prophecy geeks and Bible scholars was that the Antichrist would come out of the revived Roman empire. (Tweet that!) I remember prophecy leaders talking about the possibility that the Antichirst could come out of Great Britain. There were even discussions of Prince Charles, who was born the same year as Israel (1948), and the red dragon on the back of the throne and did it have meaning in light of the prophecies in the Bible book of Revelation about the Red Dragon?

There have been many, many theories about the Antichrist and who he may be. And I don’t think that’s wrong because we are supposed to be watching and trying to figure it all out so we will not be caught unaware or unprepared. But my how times have changed.

I have always believed that more about prophecy would become clear as the coming of Jesus approaches. I believe the closer we get the more clearly we'll be able to see how Bible prophecies will be fulfilled. Now that I'm learning about Islamic prophecies, it's amazingly clear how the evil one, Satan, might be working to try to usurp the Bible's End Times prophecies and put himself in the place of Jesus Christ.

We've talked about the End Times Bible prophecy of false prophets appearing and deceiving many people. Please keep that in mind as you read this series of posts.

I'd like you to hear it from Joel Richardson himself. In his DVD, this is what Mr. Richardson says:

Joel Richardson speaking on his DVD:

“Another major sign that Jesus warned of with regard to the last days would be the rise of false prophets. Today, throughout the Islamic world, in the nations that surround Israel, there is a dramatic rise in Messianic expectation. 

“According to Islamic theology, Muslims are expecting, in the last days, two primary Messiah figures. The first individual they call the Mahdi. In Iran they call him the 12^th Imam. The Mahdi is essentially a religious, military, political leader that comes in the last days to cause all the world to convert to Islam. 

“The second individual that Muslims are looking for is Isa Al-Massi [sp?] or Jesus Christ. Muslims teach that when Jesus comes back, he comes back as a Muslim to tell all the people of the world, including Christians, that he never died on the cross. He never claimed to be the Son of God. That Islam is the only true religion. And that all people should convert to Islam and submit to the Mahdi."

The Bible gives this prophecy concerning the Antichrist:

The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. (Revelation 13:5-8)
