In regard to some of the more recent letters dealing with the possibility of an islamic antichrist, I had a few questions.

I'm not necessarily advocating the position here, but it has prompted me to ask a few questions:

Doesn't antichrist mean opposed to, or against, the Messiah?

There are some who advocate that it rather means in the place of Messiah, and it may start like that.

But, by the time of the abomination of desolation, doesn't his true agenda begin to manifest itself?

That he is against Messiah, not only the history of, but the Biblical record of, the worship of, and the prophesied future return and reign of Messiah?

What people on earth, more than any else, do NOT want the chosen people, in the promised land, led and protected by the prophesied Messiah?

Is their god, allah, actually the dragon?

Did he have the promised land taken for himself, and did he have the city of the great King taken for himself?

Did he have a mosque for himself, placed on the very spot that the LORD said he would place his name there forever?

Do they look forward to a coming mahdi, who will come in the name and power of their god allah, to be another as great as their prophet mohammad was initially to them?

Is not the shiite version of the mahdi much more intense?

Don't they believe that he is the 12th imam, that he is not dead, but not here (hidden), but that they believe that he will gloriously return?

Do they also believe that he will be accompanied, by whom they say is the "prophet jesus"?

Their "prophet jesus" is nothing like the Jesus of the scriptures, their jesus never died on that cross, and therefore never rose from the dead, and is not the Son of God?

Won't he therefore be a false prophet, and possibly the false prophet that accompanies the antichrist?

Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Will he be like a lamb, to be a deceptive jesus, a muslim jesus, who speaks, rather, for allah, the dragon?

Will he then deceptively turn the people of the world to the mahdi, to worship the mahdi, and allah, who gives him his power?

The mahdi cannot tolerate the prophesied return of Israel to the land, and the return of Israel's Messiah to deliver them, and to rule the world righteously?

Will he set out to persecute and kill the Jews?

Will a number of the Jews escape to the wilderness in time, and not be killed by allah's mahdi, or directly by allah himself?

But won't the mahdi then set out to kill two thirds of Israel in the land?

Won't allah, and the other fallen angels, have been cast out of heaven, by Michael by that time?

So, will not allah, his mahdi, and his false "prophet jesus", all be on earth at the same time? 

Are there not, like 13 koranic verses that say that allah has no son, which is in absolute contrast to what John wrote by inspiration of the Holy Ghost?

John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

I John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

  23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

I John 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

  12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

Don't the muslims totally deny that God, himself, would came in the flesh?

I Timothy 3:16a And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

II John 7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

So, if the antichrist will be the mahdi, particularly the shiite mahdi, will his relationship with mecca change?

Has not mecca religiously ruled over islam, around the world?

And will mecca initially be over the islamic kingdom, and the mahdi?

If mecca is Mystery, Babylon, and if the shiite mahdi will be the antichrist, will the ten kings then be 10 shiite islamic rulers?

Will these 10 shiite rulers then destroy mecca, the center of sunni islam?

Will then these 10 shiite rulers actually attempt to stop Israel's Messiah, the Lord Jesus, whom they say is the dajjal, from returning to Jerusalem?

Will allah, the mahdi, and the false muslim "prophet jesus", then convince the leaders of the whole world to come against Jerusalem, to take it, and to kill the Jews?

But, will there also possibly be trouble in that islamic "paradise"?

Daniel 11:44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.

  45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Could that possibly be tidings of sunni resistance, coming out of the north from Turkey, and out of the east from the Arabian peninsula? 

Anyway, these were some of the questions that I wondered about, considering the recent letters that mentioned an islamic antichrist, and mecca as Babylon.

I hope that you can shed some light on these.

Thank you in advance
