Some Points on Islamic Eschatology

*Jesus returns in the end (is this the Impostor?), breaks crosses and announces his conversion to Islam. He converts the world to Islam, kills the Jews, gets married and dies after 40 years. In Islam it is believed that Jesus is a prophet rather then the Son of God and that he did not die die for the world's sins.

*Resurrection of both the wicked and righteous at the final judgement.

*The coming of the Mahdi (the 12th Imam). Did the Mahdi already come?

*Islam believes that the Gospel was misinterpreted by Christians.

*Dajjal is the Islamic equivalent of the Anti-Christ.

*Eight Signs Leading to the Return of Jesus:
1. Smoke
2. The arrival of Dajjal
3. Arrival of the Beast
4. The rising of the sun from the west.
5. Jesus descends.
6. Gog and Magog
7. There will be land slides in three places. One in the east, one in the west and one in Arabia.
8. Fire will burn forth from Yemen and drive people to the point of their assembly.

*The Dajjal (the Impostor) is believed to be a Jew with one eye. This is interesting because in the Book of Revelation the Anti Christ suffers a fatal head wound (possibly to the eye?). It is also interesting to note that Osama Bin Laden suffered a gun shot through the eye. Dajjal will have the word "Kafir" (Believer) on his forehead (Mark of the Beast?). He will lead armies against the way of God.

*The Mahdi will return with Jesus.
