Debunking the comparison of the Second Beast with the Islamic Jesus

Joel Richardson in his book “The Islamic Antichrist: The Shocking Truth about the Real Nature of the Beast”  summarizes his claim:

 Quote

• Bible: The False Prophet is a secondary prominent figure that will emerge in the last days who will support the Antichrist.

• Islam: The Muslim Jesus is a secondary prominent figure that will emerge in the last days to support the Mahdi.

End Quote

The Biblical false Prophet being referred to here is the one prophesied in Revelation 13:11-18. The comparison is debunked as flawed and ludicrus for the following reasons:

1)    The Islamic Jesus is the second coming of the son of Virgin Mary who was raised into heaven.  The Second Beast who is the False Prophet is obviously not the son of Virgin Mary.

2)    The Islamic Jesus descends from the heaven (similar to the vision of Daniel 7:13). While on the contrary, the Second Beast in the book of Revelation comes “out of the earth” (Rev 13:11).

3)    The Islamic Jesus will follow Islam and shariah of Prophet Muhammed. In direct contradiction to this, the second beast directs people to worship the first Beast (Rev 13:12).  It requires clutching at straws to claim Islamic Jesus is a figure who gets people to worship the Mahdi. The Islamic Jesus as portrayed in the Quran is someone who is against worship given even to his own self.

4)    The second beast practices image worship (Rev 13:14). The Islamic Jesus follows shariah which prohibits all forms of idolatry.

5)     The second beast stamps people with a mark of the beast required for commerce (Rev 13:16-17). Neither Islamic Jesus nor Shariah stamps the mark of Mahdi(who is the first beast according to Joel’s fantasy), for commerce.

6)    The Islamic Jesus rules the world from Jerusalem and dies with old age. The second beast neither becomes a ruler nor do dies of old age.

7)    The Second Beast is associated with the First beast that is in turn associated with Greece (Daniel 8 &11). Islamic Jesus is not associated with Greece.

8 ) There is a massive chronology fail as, according to Joel Richardson, the false Prophet of Islam/Dajjal = Christian Jesus while false Prophet of Christianity = Islamic Jesus. But according to both Islamic and Christian prophecy, the true Jesus will emerge only after the false prophet emerges. Thereby, Muslim’s will only follow the messiah that comes after the false prophet is revealed. While Joel’s thesis requires true Jesus emerging before the false prophet of Islam.

9)     Finally, the second beast is a prophecy fulfilled according to the majority of Christian interpreters and is referring to the imperial cult system of Roman Empire where the emperor was worshipped as God. The Christian reformist attempts for a futurist interpretations are without any justifiable basis.

  1. Joel is correct.

    The stories of Islam about Jesus are Muslim man made invented fables not prophetic vision of divine nature.

    HOWEVER,

    the actions, factual acts that will be DONE by the Mahdi, fulfills perfectly the divine revelation.

    God did not gave Muslim wisdom to foretale prophecies, however, divine prophecies as in Daniel, Revelation, et al, are WINDOWS to future events that were SEEN by God and shown to the prophets.

    So, if Muslim act in way to fulfill their own invented prophecies, their action are recorded in our divine prophecies.

    In other words, God saw the actions take my Muslim to futily fulfill their own idiotic prophecies.

    For example, if Iran believe that throwin a Nuke to Saudi Arabia will release the Mahdi, then they will do so, but God SAW that and showed to John.

    Joel is right!

    Beside, if you open your eye EVERYTHING Joel Richardson predicted is actually happening!! in Egypt, Lybia, North Sudan, etc.

    Predicted and insinuated by Joel Richardson:

    Iran attemp to kill Saudi Ambasador.

    Hacked UN wires, Saudi Arabia allow Israel to use their airfields against Iran.

    Iran attempting to invade Iraq.

    Iran working and getting the nuclear bomb.

    Turkey mediating between Muslim brotherhood, Egypt, Lybia, North Sudan, and Israel.

    Most shocking fulfillment of Joel’s prophecies:

    Sudan will separate into Muslim North and Christian South, so the country of CUSH can join the Magog coalition.

    It is incredible that North Sudan, who is CUSH, came to life as predicted by Joel’s interpretation!!!!

  2. I would disagree. He is fundamentally wrong in everything he attempted to establish in his book. As for events you mentioned as proof of his truthness, besides those being completely absent in his book, they are simple events any illiterate who is upto date with world events can predict.
