In Islam it is informally (?) understood that all the antichrists our faith predicts will be within the Islamic community (approx. 30 lesser ones, then the Big One). However, Christianity and Judaism have their own antichrists, e…g Haile Selassie, the Emperor of Ethiopia, who was falsely worshipped as the second coming of Christ / God incarnate (killed by Atheist Communist Derg rebels). I’m sure Judaism has had some antichrists too e.g. Jacob Frank?
What interests me is that Christians were quiet about Islam until Islam actually arrived. Until then they had no clue about the advent of Islam - perhaps because the name of the Prophet was rapidly expunged from all Gospels by Pau? Or maybe after Paul.
When Islam arrived, there was a gradual uproar that it must have been the antichrist, even though the Prophet Muhammad matches zero criteria for him
Here is what l could find:
In fact there is still some remaining evidence pointing to Muhammad as the Parakleitos (caller, or various other translatied terms, i.e. the next good guy, Prophet) expected after Christ, as outlined here.
But there is even more evidence claimed, on Google. I don’t believe much survived Paul’s translation into Greek. I guess that’s one way of dumping the original Gospels, which were written in some Semitic language, as a direct first person revelation by God.
How about this though:
How do Christians apply “666” to Islam?
