The Antichrist Will Easily Take The World

[Amica]

Oh.. Now that I mentioned islamic prophecies about the dajjal/antichrist, I realized I never actually mentioned them. Here they are:

*The dajjal/antichrist is propheciezed to be:
--Young, not married,no children
--One eyed/one eye floating like a grape (could be methaphorically interpreted as well)
--Will come from an area between Syria and Iraq
--Will travel the world in 40 (years/months/days--not clear) on a flying mule (airplane?)
--Will perform miracles as a test for humankind (will give rain/riches/poverty to whom he pleases)
--Before he comes to power, there will be three years of drought/weather problems where 1/3 of vegitation, rain and animals will disappear, then gradually increasing towards no vegitation, rain or animals in the third year
--His father will be tall with a long nose and his mother will be stocky woman with big chest
--He will cause much grief to his parents in his life time
--He will claim to be Jewish
--He will have a large following of women, illegitimate children and Jews who wear silk (not sure what this means)
--Dajjal will first claim prophethood, then will claim to be the promised Messiah, then will claim to be God
--Dajjal will fight world war against Muslims (Muslims led by Imam Mahdi as vs. non-Muslims and world Christian nations); In the war Muslims will first experience great slaughter by non-Muslims, being besieged all the way to Mecca and Medina
--Dajjal will abolish Christianity
--Dajjal will have a beautiful music with him
--Dajjal will have a mark on his forhead that reads 'KFR' (Kafir) and which will be visible & comprehensible for every believer to see (literate or illiterate)
--He will be a great liar and tyrant
--When Isaa/Jesus savs comes again, he will destroy dajjal with his breath. Dajjal will disolve like salt in water.

I read numerous books on the End Time prophecies both christian and islamic. Tim Lahaye researched a great deal about the person of antichrist based ont he biblical verses. Islamic Hadith (Prophet Muhammad's pbuh sayings and tradition) also provide the description of the dajjal/antichrist that appear even more detailed (the Hadith even provide the description of his parents!).

There are some differences but it seems that the man is going to be a something. According to the Revelation, his spirit existed before, then it was not and then it will be again.

The Dajjal eh? Do they speak of a certain time the fallen one's son will reign?
One thing with the belief of an anti-christ or a force that does Satan's bidding... How can you be so confident that he will lose? Becuase it say's he will lose? Sports events do the opposition of one team always proclaim a victory before the battle has commenced? Also if it was the case that there was no chance of victory what would be the point in the battle? Where is the glory? Where is the chance to reign supreme.... If they is a superior "evil" being why is it not possible for him to destory your superior "good" being? (god.) Afterall, any being that lives can be killed...

If there was a Satan Vs god battle... I would put all my "chips" on Satan winning... There are more things that please mankind that Satan could offer than what god could offer. If god is all about "I love my creation mankind and the earth and the universe..." Yet the majority show traits of supporting this devil Satan and his belief, and this ended in a war... The numbers on Satan's side would stack up way more than the numbers on jah's side. So the only way he could win, would be to destroy the world?

I think:
Satan is an open loop amplifier with applied energy, and the source of energy for its input.
Satan is as real as Santa.
Satan is a blind person describing what he sees, or a deaf person describing what he hears.
Satan is the creator of the boil, the virus, and the bacteria that feeds on flesh.
From the heart comes imagination, and from the heart comes Satan.
Satan is the creator of many things, but of nothing with purpose.
If Jesus (pbuh) was tempted by Satan, then so have you been.
Satan is the creator of accidents.
Satan has no soul.
Satan is an evolving animal.
Satan is in everything with a heartbeat.
Satan is your computer running its programs, but with a random number generator for a keyboard.
Satan is a car with a stuck accelerator and no steering wheel.
Satan is a tornado or a hurricane caused by a butterfly off the coast of the other side of the planet.
Satan is in what you don't know, and when you learn then you will realize your sin.

It is a literal war that will not soon end, aimed to destroy the soul of mankind in a presentation to free mankind.

The battle between good and evil is fought within one's own mind per the direction of one's own soul. In the gospels, in a desert, Jesus (pbuh) demonstrated it.

Thanks

There is the pro-you, there is the anti-you, and there is the ignorant of you. I submit that within the minds of men the ignorance of you far outweighs the other two. So I further submit that even among the alledged Christ followers, the ignorance of Christ still far outweighs the pro-Christ and the anti-Christ. I see only poverty, even among the self professed devil worshippers, the conspiracy seeking theorists, the fretting fear-mongers, or even the smiling mindless.

hello ppl...

satan, the adversary... lol... lucifer, the lightbearer...lol... the devil... lol... the antichrist...lol...

ppl can't even make up their minds what to call him, yet... how then will we recognise him when he comes..? there's plenty of liars in politics, fooling ppl, so, will this antichrist thing be in with them..? Maybe satan will be a pop star, playing rock music, in tight leather pants... Maybe he will be a priest, or a school teacher... most likely he will not come at all, stoned on drugs in some stygian council estate hell listening to scratched Led Zep records...

...it makes me laugh that so many intelligent ppl can speak of the devil in this way....

...the devil doesn't exist, if he does, I've been calling him inviting him round to my house for ages now, and he's never come, and I always bake his favourite cakes (so light they are too...)

...in truth though, it worries me that in this day and age ppl need saviours and devils still, unable to accept responsibility for their own actions, thoughts, and deeds... the world will end, perhaps, but it won't be "our" fault, no, let's blame the devil! lets strike fear into the hearts of men by telling them that this evil one will come and destroy the world... let's give them false hope by proclaiming a messiah will come to save us from the evil one! let's pretend we have the answers! let's make lots of money and accrue high status!

honestly...lol... why can't we just accept that ppl are greedy, inconsiderate, idiotic, foolish, aggressive because of the way our world is structured? the big battle between good and evil lies within us, is played out within our own consciousnesses, that the prophets of god, from different cultures, basically share the same message, promoting peace, brotherhood, charity, decency, honesty, etc... this world could be paradise, for everybody, without exception, but this will not happen until we rid ourself of this notion of inherent evil, and a supreme being of evil... then there would be no battle for god, though, perhaps, then we would not be so free to use the excuse of the devil to allow evil to flourish, and then we could all, together, work together, to make the world a better place for everyone...

after all, "whatsoever u do to the least of my brothers, that u do onto me..."
