The Islamic Antichrist: The Shocking Truth about the Real Nature of the Beast [Hardcover]

Joel Richardson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 28, 2009

The Bible predicts that in the last days a charismatic leader will establish a global following in the name of peace. The Koran also predicts that a man will rise up to lead the nations, pledging to usher in an era of peace. The man in the Koran is called the Mahdi, or Islam's savior. However, the man in the Bible is the Antichrist. Joel Richardson's stunning research and analysis suggest that the Mahdi and the Antichrist are actually one and the same.

In The Islamic Antichrist, Richardson exposes Western readers to the traditions of Islam and predicts that the end times may not be far away. His book will stun readers unaware of the similarities between the Antichrist and the "Islamic Jesus." His research on the relationship between Christian end-time prophecy and Islamic expectations of world domination will shock readers and shape the debate over radical Islam for years to come. This is the book to read on the world's fastest growing religion and the future of the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Timely, Honest Assessment of Who The Anti-Christ will be, August 8, 2009

This review is from: The Islamic Antichrist: The Shocking Truth about the Real Nature of the Beast (Hardcover)

Joel Richardson's book, "The Islamic Antichrist: The Shocking Truth About the Real Nature of the Beast" is one every serious student of Bible Prophecy and the end-times needs to read. It is the clearest and most direct picture of Islamic Eschatology that I have read. For over 20 years I have studied the various end-times teachings looking for something that really made sense. Joel's book is the major puzzle piece that perfectly fits with the Scripture that does not need to be crammed into place.

So many folks have gotten turned off of Bible prophecy because so many teachers have had to make up fantastic scenerios - doing twists and turns - to try to fit the "Roman End-time Paradigm" into the books of Daniel and Revelations. If you are one of those people who want a clear picture of what is happening right before your eyes and how it fits into Bible prophecy - GRAB THIS BOOK!

It reads like today's newspaper with the emergence of the Islamic Mahdi and the resurgent Islamic Caliphate emanating from Turkey. The rantings of the Iranian President and the strengthening of Hamas and Hezbollah only confirm this book's premise - The Islamic world is bent on destroying Israel and subjugating the rest of the world under the oppression of Sharia Law. Those who stand up against this force will face but one end - death. The "religion of peace" is the exact opposite. In their view there will be no peace until everyone confesses that "there is no god but Allah..."

If you want an accurate picture of what the Koran and the Islamic commentaries teach and are preached today in every Mosque around the world about the coming Apocalypse, the rise of the Imam Mahdi and the emergence of the Islamic Jesus (Isa) - this is the book to read and re-read again. I have given out copies to friends and family and pastors alike. I seriously urge you to do the same. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

God Bless and gird yourselves for the appearance of the soon appearing Islamic Anti-Christ!

water "~~w~~" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Islamic Antichrist: The Shocking Truth about the Real Nature of the Beast (Hardcover)

I am so glad this book is being presented again to the public. What I loved so much about this book, besides that fact that I believe it to be an accurate reflection of reality, is that it is presented cleanly, concisely, and without any amount of stretch to prove the point - basically exactly what one would expect from the truth - it needs no dressing.

The time is right for this book and I am praying every day for it to sweep the world...not just so Joel can reap the rewards of his hard work...but so the eyes of the lost can be opened...and the eyes of those found can be pointed in the proper direction.

Remember, the Lord told us to watch. The Lord told us we would know the signs and see it coming. The Lord said that understanding would be increased in the latter days, that we would have visions and dreams to facilitate our understanding of his Word.

That time is now. Don't miss it.

If anyone thinks the US economy turned from good to bad in a short amount of time, watch how fast these end time events move upon us. When all is in place, the final events will sweep the planet with blinding speed.

Recall the Lord's words about a great deception...so great that even the elect would be deceived if such were possible. This book will prepare you for this coming deception, which is being made clear to us today.

Be ready now, not tomorrow. This book is absolutely essential to one's understanding of what is coming.

This review is from: The Islamic Antichrist: The Shocking Truth about the Real Nature of the Beast (Hardcover)

I bought this book without realizing that it is simply "Antichrist: Islam's Awaited Messiah" but with a couple of appendices at the end to update it from when it was originally written in 2006. I know that this is a hardcover and the original book was paperback, but if you change the title from the original book at least let people know what they are getting.
