There's a book that came out some time ago that I was watching to see if it became popular among false teachers in the coming months. It appears it has done just that as expected. Since September 11, 2001 there have been some preachers and teachers as well as numerous websites and media moguls declaring the Islamic leaders, and especially their so called Muslim Mahdi, are the Biblical Antichrist. It was mostly offhanded remarks on pulpits and at water coolers for a few years. But then World Net Daily started to push a book written by Joel Richardson titled "The Islamic Antichrist" that feeds off those rumors. But is this so? Do the prophecies in the Christian Bible really line up with that assumption? And is there historic evidence to support such a claim such as this? Being Berean's of the Word and students of prophecy we know that the only way to find this out is to go into our Bibles, study the prophecies, and then look in our history books to see if in fact Islam did what the prophecies say Antichrist will do. If Islam is Antichrist we need to declare it across the land. But if Islam isn't the home of the Antichrist, then according to the Word of God that has been trusted for 6000 years, we need to find out who really is responsible for fulfilling all these prophecies?

There are literally scores of prophecies that describe Antichrist and his agenda quite nicely. In the following list you will find 14 of my favorite prophetic fulfillments out of many that according to the Word of God must be fulfilled by only one entity who is described in Christian prophecy to be  the Antichrist. Absolutely every prophecy of Antichrist must match with that person and or organization or we have stumbled off the path of truth. You cannot have a few prophecies declare Islam to be home to Antichrist while ignoring the others that point somewhere else if we are to be trusted by those seeking the truth on this. For example, take the number 666 the prophecy says is the number of a man's name.

• Revelation 13:17-18, "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

Many people have used this 666 to declare Ronald Reagan is Antichrist, Muhammad, or even Microsoft Windows are "the Antichrist" because they can place numeric values to these names to make them add up to 666. Some will even go so far as to purposely misspell a person's name or use their name in a different language to make the 666 valid. Now this may be true, their names may very well add up to 666, but do all the other prophecies match with them as well? This is why the elect cannot be deceived in the last days. Being students of prophecy we know how to decipher as well as how to properly share the prophecies without hiding certain Scriptural facts under a rug when they prove we are in error. As Christians we worship a perfect God who's prophecies are always 100% intact and accurate to the very last letter. That being said, what does the Christian Bible say about Antichrist? Is it Islam as the media is now reporting? Or did someone else fulfill these prophecies?

Keep in mind. The below list is just a brief summary of each prophetic event I cover in my book, "Characteristics of Antichrist" which is free to download or read on this website. Each prophetic fact (and much more) are discussed in detail in my book along with all the Scriptures and historic facts and their sources so as to erase all doubt as to what the Word of God says on this. In fact, if you read just a few of the prophetic facts you will find how easy it is to put to rest the lie that is being proclaimed in the world regarding Islam. And no, I am not defending Islam in any way here. It is a very evil religion invented by "someone" who really is the Antichrist so as to hide their true agenda out in the open.

Is Islam the Antichrist?
(click the links for in depth details)

1. Did Islam destroy 3 nations exactly 1260 years before being mortally wounded politically? No. But the Vatican did.
2. Did ancient Rome give Islam power as a church and State? No, they gave that to the Vatican.
3. Does Islam have a continual “leader” who has over a dozen titles that all = 666 individually? No, only the popes have that.
4. Does Islam reside on 7 hills? No, but the Vatican does.
5. Was Islam wounded politically after killing hundreds of thousands of Christians and then later resurrected to regain power globally? No, but the Vatican did that.
6. Does Islam have a leader claiming to be a god on earth? No, but the popes has stated many times in writing they are a "god on earth."
7. Does Islam claim to forgive sins of men? No. But the Vatican does.
8. Does Islam preach another version of Jesus to Christians? No, but the Vatican has done so for almost 2000 years.
9. Did Islam kill over 500 million Christians during a 1260 year period? No. But the Vatican did.
10. Do all the politicians of the world clamor to please Islam to better their careers? No. But they do so to the popes.
11. Does Islam mix Paganism in all it’s forms with Christianity? No, but Catholicism does.
12. Does Islam force all the worlds kings to bow to him? no. But the Popes do.
13. Will Islam have a leader that is homosexual in nature? No, but the Popes are.
14. Did Islam change the Sabbath from the 7th day to the 1st day? no. But the Vatican admits in writing they did. 

So there you have it. Islam cannot possibly be the Antichrist. The Popes of Rome have fulfilled each and every prophecy ever uttered by our God that describes the Antichrist in such graphic detail. But because the churches don't teach prophecy, and the media is under their thumb, most are unaware of the facts. Yes, Islam is evil, and they do Antichristian acts on a daily basis. But so do most politicians, and even some common men all around us. But in order to claim the official prophesied title of "Antichrist" they must fulfill 100% of every prophecy. Islam simply cannot do that no matter how much you stretch, or twist the truth. Only the Roman Catholic Popes fulfill each and every prophecy with 100% accuracy.

Why are they lying?

The question then is, why is the media, the preachers, and Rome declaring Islam to be Antichrist all of a sudden instead of the Popes of Rome as prophecy so clearly states? For the very same reason Hitler was called evil in his day to hide what the Pope was doing to the Jews. No one would doubt that Hitler was an evil man. But what most fail to realize is, he was just following orders from the Vatican to kill the Jews and any other Sabbath keeping Christians he could find. Rome specifically placed Hitler in power for the sole purpose of killing those people. Rome has always used others to do their dirty work throughout the centuries so they can hide behind their so called "Christian" and moral front. I am sure millions of molested children would declare otherwise today. Still, to the untrained eye, Rome appears to be a church and a holy one at that. The prophet Daniel was very adamant about illustrating just how crafty the Popes would be when he penned as much as he did about them long ago. Daniel knew they would be able to pull the wool over the eyes of literally billions! In fact, prophecy plainly says in Revelation 13:3 that all the world will wonder after this beast! However, with Islam, we now have an easy method by which to expose Rome's hand. Not only do we see Rome benefiting by every political move Islam makes. Especially in regards to all the new constitutions being penned that allow for Roman demands to be sanctioned in each country just as they did in the European Union last year. Documented evidence has recently been unearthed that proves hands down that the Roman Catholic church actually invented the religion of Islam hundreds of years ago under the direct guidance of Satan himself to do exactly what they're doing right now! Click here for that proof. After all, it was prophesied long ago that right before the end of all things on earth, God's people would know who the Antichrist is. And so we do!

• 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."

We now know Rome used Hitler behind closed doors to get the job done. With this knowledge we then realize this is how they work. Now do you see why everyone is declaring Islam to be the Antichrist? It's so Rome can do what prophecy said they will do without most people seeing it because everyone is following Rome's lead by keeping their eyes on Islam! That is how Rome came to power, that is how they infiltrated all churches and nations over the centuries, and that is how prophecy says they will be able to rule the world behind closed doors in the last days.

As many of you know that frequent this website, I now have well over 7000 pages of facts proving the Roman Catholic prelates to be the prophesied Antichrist. (as of 03-24-11) I even have quotes from every single main stream denomination stating the Popes of Rome to be Antichrist listed on my "they called him Antichrist" page on the site. Many of you reading this are from those denominations. Are you aware you are not only declaring the Bible prophecies that match perfectly with historic record to be a lie by proclaiming Islam is Antichrist. You are also proving to all students of prophecy that your very own church leaders are the false teachers, preachers and prophets Jesus said would come into the world right before His return!
