I just read your article on the Powerful Delusion. I personally don’t think that Islam is going to be the religion of the Anti-Christ. The one world religion of the Anti-Christ will accept all religions of the world, not just one.

I have a question regarding Ishmael and Issac. Are the moslems decendants of Ishmael? And for what reason do they hate the decendants of Issac ? I was talking to my father about it but I did not know the reason they hate the decendants of Issac except for the fact the devil hates them.

It seems to me many people are confused, or at least are not clear, as to the difference between “persecution” and judgment”. I am speaking particularly of persecution by the Antichrist during the tribulation and God’s judgment on unbelievers during that same time. It appears this confusion existed in Thessalonian church and Paul corrected that confusion very well. What do you think?

I am a Christian and my husband is Muslim. We’ve both always wanted children, but have been avoiding it for the obvious reasons of how they will be raised morally and religiously. Neither of us want to budge either way. What does the Bible say about marriage issues such as this?

Hi I just re-read your article “The Powerful Delusion” and noticed that it seemed to signal that the Antichrist would be Islamic. Would that rule out Javier Solana and his European Neighborhood Policy that is taking effect in January like it did Gorbachev?

Most people say that the next fulfillment of prophecy will be the battle of Ezekiel. I have heard a lot of talk lately about how the current situation in Iran could mean the battle could start today, but from what I understand of the scriptures and your articles (as well as others) there is still a lot of things that have yet to happen. I am wondering what you think?

My brother passed on 4 days ago. He accepted Christ when he was a teenager. He fell in love with a Moslem lady and 2 years ago became a Moslem so that he could marry her. Does Ephesians 1:13-14 apply in his case? We have been praying for him since and felt so sad to see that he died without ever coming back to the Lord. Have we lost him forever or is he still saved?

If the Gog/Magog war precedes the Tribulation like you believe (and so do I) and the Moslem armies are destroyed, wouldn’t that make Islam become irrelevant?

Q. I read the article by Jack Kelley, “The Four 4 Horsemen, al Mahdi, and the Magnetic Polar Reversal” Mr. Kelley has a very interesting analysis. According to the article, Mr. Kelley states, “As details of Islamic eschatology become more widely known, prophecy students are discovering a striking similarity between descriptions of al Mahdi, the Moslem Messiah, and a figure Christians call the anti-Christ.”
According to Islamic eschatology, the messiah son of Mary (Mashi Isa bin Maryam = Jesus) defeats the anti-Christ Ad-Daajal. Al-Mahdi is not considered to be the masiah but rather a leader who unites and leads Muslims. Judgment day Qiyahmah comes after the defeat of Ad-Dajaal.
A. There are many sources who call al Mahdi a Messiah. Here’s one.
“All streams of Islam believe in a divine saviour, known as the Mahdi, who will appear at the End of Days. A common rumour – denied by the government but widely believed – is that Mr Ahmadinejad (Pres. of Iran) and his cabinet have signed a “contract” pledging themselves to work for the return of the Mahdi and sent it to Jamkaran.
Iran’s dominant “Twelver” sect believes this will be Mohammed ibn Hasan, regarded as the 12th Imam, or righteous descendant of the Prophet Mohammad.
He is said to have gone into “occlusion” in the ninth century, at the age of five. His return will be preceded by cosmic chaos, war and bloodshed. After a cataclysmic confrontation with evil and darkness, the Mahdi will lead the world to an era of universal peace.
This is similar to the Christian vision of the Apocalypse. Indeed, the Hidden Imam is expected to return in the company of Jesus.”
This quote from the London Telegraph is representative of several articles I’ve collected on al Mahdi. All of them identify him as either savior or messiah. Some mention that Jesus will appear with him, and some liken him to the Christian anti-Christ. Apparently the “Twelvers” believe an oral tradition about him rather than relying on written accounts. I’ve also been told that Sunnis and Shiites have different opinions about this. I would be grateful for any further light you can shed on this matter.
