The debate among Christians continues to rage: Exactly where will the Antichrist come from? And to what religion will he belong? Over the last ten years, an increasing number of pastors and prophecy experts have abandoned their support for the traditional "Roman Antichrist" view and are now promoting the Islamic Antichrist Theory. The Beast of the Apocalypse, they now say, will rise out of Islam-somewhere in the Middle East-and he will conquer the world with a vast army of unstoppable Muslim warriors. In support of this conjecture, proponents of the Islamic Antichrist Theory point to several pertinent facts. For example:?The Bible repeatedly refers to the Antichrist by Arabic titles, such as King of Babylon, King of Tyre, the Assyrian, etc.?In agreement with Revelation 20:4, Islam requires the beheading of those who will not submit to their leader's authority.?The Greek letters for 666-according to some experts-actually stand for: "In the name of Allah, we will make war."Yet despite all these "facts," the Bible clearly states that the Antichrist's homeland lies to the northwest of Israel-a region completely devoid of Arabic nations. Indeed, the principle of divine retribution requires that God take vengeance on a Roman Caesar, as payment for Rome's execution of Jesus in 32 A.D. and its destruction of Jerusalem a short time later. Here, in The Islamic Antichrist Myth, Charles K. Bassett examines fifteen of the most popular arguments in support of the Islamic Antichrist Theory, and patiently explains why each one is wrong. Once this myth is dispelled, says Bassett, the only logical conclusion is that the Antichrist must be a "Roman," and he must come out of Europe.

The Antichrist is one of the most feared, and one of the most anticipated figures in the Abrahamic religions. From Judaism, to Christianity and Islam, there is a figure that is expected to fulfill the role of the Antichrist. Although the word "Christ" is in the word, it means not only a person against Jesus Christ. Christ in Greek simply means "the anointed one." This is a figure against God, be it in the Jewish, Christian or Islamic understanding of the word. For ease of use, I will use the term Antichrist when speaking of all the Abrahamic religions. The Antichrist is a person who will be the antithesis to all that is godly. He will be, in many ways, a Messianic figure with ill intent; hoping to lead billions of people astray. He will have immense powers at his disposal. In fact, the hordes of hell will be at his right side, waiting to be unleashed upon humanity. At least, that is what the religions want you to believe. In this book, I will go as deep as I possibly can into the idea of the Antichrist and from as many vantage points as possible. In that sense, this will be highly academic, but I will make it very accessible.Here is just a taste of what to you will learn in this book: The Origin of the Word AntichristThe Idea of the AntichristThe Different Types of Antichrist FiguresThe Nature and Intention of the AntichristThe Various Names of the AntichristJewish Ideas as it Pertains to the AntichristChristian Beliefs as it Relates to the AntichristThe Whore of Babylon and the Antichrist The Antichrist in Apocryphal TextsThe Antichrist in the Dead Sea ScrollsThe Antichrist as the Early Church Understood HimThe Antichrist Figure in IslamNostradamus and Antichrist PredictionsPeople in Ancient and Modern Times who Were and Are Considered the AntichristAnd more.As you can see, it will be exhaustive.

DOES THE BIBLE ACTUALLY PROHIBIT A SEARCH FOR THE ANTICHRIST? At this very moment, the vast majority of prophecy experts are convinced that determining the identity of the Antichrist today is flat impossible. In fact, most pastors say we shouldn't even try to look for him. Despite all the signs which prove the Tribulation is imminent, Church leaders insist that looking for the Antichrist at the present time is a waste of time. Why are preachers and pundits so certain of their position? It's because the apostle Paul apparently said so in his second letter to the Thessalonians.According to Paul, the Body of Christ first must be "taken out of the way"-or, raptured-before the Antichrist can come forward. Only then can the Man of Sin be "revealed" (II Thess. 2:6-8). However, this line of reasoning fails to account for two critical questions: -What is the meaning of the word "revealed" in Paul's letter? -And what does the rest of the Bible say about our ability to learn the identity of the Antichrist before the Rapture takes place?Now, after many years of study, author Charles K. Bassett looks at all of the relevant passages and responds to those questions decisively. "Can We Know?" thoughtfully exposes the fallacies in today's conventional wisdom and presents an intriguing new paradigm regarding the search for the Antichrist. Every pertinent question is answered...and those answers are guaranteed to pleasantly surprise you!

Their followers gain glory not through the toils of someone else but through their own sacrifices. These prophets turn the people away from materialism and return them to their Creator. This revival requires Divine intervention. In this short book, the author examines the prophecies in Islam about the Imam Mahdi and Second Coming of Jesus i.e. Promised Messiah. The concept of non-Ahmadi Muslims and the Ahmadiyya understanding of these prophecies in light of religious history and Quran.

In the battles over religion and politics in America, both liberals and conservatives often appeal to history. Liberals claim that the Founders separated church and state. But for much of American history, David Sehat writes, Protestant Christianity was intimately intertwined with the state. Yet the past was not the Christian utopia that conservatives imagine either. Instead, a Protestant moral establishment prevailed, using government power to punish free thinkers and religious dissidents. In The Myth of American Religious Freedom, Sehat provides an eye-opening history of religion in public life, overturning our most cherished myths. Originally, the First Amendment applied only to the federal government, which had limited authority. The Protestant moral establishment ruled on the state level. Using moral laws to uphold religious power, religious partisans enforced a moral and religious orthodoxy against Catholics, Jews, Mormons, agnostics, and others. Not until 1940 did the U.S. Supreme Court extend the First Amendment to the states. As the Supreme Court began to dismantle the connections between religion and government, Sehat argues, religious conservatives mobilized to maintain their power and began the culture wars of the last fifty years. To trace the rise and fall of this Protestant establishment, Sehat focuses on a series of dissenters--abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, socialist Eugene V. Debs, and many others. Shattering myths held by both the left and right, David Sehat forces us to rethink some of our most deeply held beliefs. By showing the bad history used on both sides, he denies partisans a safe refuge with the Founders.

Any divide between revelation and rationality, religion and logic has to be irrational. If religion and rationality cannot proceed hand in hand, there has to be something deeply wrong with either of the two. Does revelation play any vital role in human affairs? Is not rationality sufficient to guide man in all the problems which confront him? Numerous questions such as these are examined with minute attention. All major issues which intrigue the modern mind are attempted to be incorporated in this fascinatingly comprehensive statute. Whatever the intellectual or educational background of the reader, this book is bound to offer him something of his interest. It examines a very diverse and wide range of subjects including the concept of revelation in different religions, history of philosophy, cosmology, extraterrestrial life, the future of life on earth, natural selection and its role in evolution. It also elaborately discusses the advent of the Messiah, or other universal reformers, awaited by different religions. Likewise, many other topical issues which have been agitating the human mind since time immemorial are also incorporated. The main emphasis is on the ability of the Quran to correctly discuss all important events of the past, present and future from the beginning of the universe to its ultimate end. Aided by strong incontrovertible logic and scientific evidence, the Quran does not shy away from presenting itself to the merciless scrutiny of rationality. It will be hard to find a reader whose queries are not satisfactorily answered. We hope that most readers will testify that this will always stand out as a book among books – perhaps the greatest literary achievement of this century.
