Joel Richardson: A case for a Middle East Antichrist

For centuries, the prevailing theory about the identity of the Antichrist has been that it will be someone coming out of the Roman empire.

This theory has been based upon a handful of verses in the Book of Daniel and the Revelation of St John the Divine. The evidence might be pointing to the Roman empire as being the fourth empire in Daniel 2, but a more compelling argument might be made for the “Muslim empire” holding the future (or current) Antichrist.

After years of study, I’ll acknowledge I don’t know what’s true. There are many who demonstrate the potential to be the Antichrist. I know there are plenty of people who believe they know for sure who or what the Antichrist will end up being, but I don’t. The cases made by multiple perspective can be compelling.

In this video, Joel Richardson talks about his book, Joel Richardson: Mideast Beast: The Scriptural Case for an Islamic Antichrist, and lays out some evidence that this might be the case.
