Since Islam is not the global religion of the AntiChrist, it must fall before his reign begins. But how will this occur? It seems that Islam remains a barrier to building a Cathedral (Temple) on the Temple Mount and does not fit the biblical pattern of prophecy relating to the Israel of the last days.
Reasons to reject Islam as the religion of the AntiChrist were explored in a previous thread:
Anti-Christ Muslim - Islam and the End
To summarise these reasons were:
1) NOT UNIVERSAL: Islam does not have the universal traction that a more secular worldview could achieve. The unbelievers die or are burnt in hell fire. This is not an all paths lead to the Dragon theology, it is partisan and belligerent. Hinduism is incompatible with Islam for instance and Muslims have managed to put the backs up of vast swathes of the Christian world by terrorism, kidnap and murder of Christians.
2) DIFFERENT CHARACTER: there is a difference between the Muslim portrayal of Mahdi and Isa and the Beast and False Prophet of Revelation. They do not exalt themselves and demand that people worship them.
3) TOO PARTISAN: Islam is perhaps too antagonistic and partisan to be the global religion of the AntiChrist. Hindus and most Christians would never subscribe to it and Western Liberal Atheists would have issue with its assault on freedoms for instance.
4) GLOBAL SUCCESS IS UNLIKELY: Muslim countries are more impoverished compared to Christian countries, so lower military spending, technology and might. Their message is not compatible with vast swathes of global culture. With increasing information transparency the possibility of oppression of dissent is less and less likely and there are signs of major divisions and upheaval inside the Muslim world
5) LACK OF MORAL LEGITIMACY: Terrorism, kidnappings, endless wars and infighting and murders can all too easily be associated with Muslims.
If Islam has to fall before the end time scenario kicks off then we still have some time as this has not happened yet.
Is there anything in scripture to indicate how Islam will be broken and fall away from significance in the Middle Eastern region. Various scenarios appear possible to me:
1) CIVIL WAR: War between Sunni and Shia leading to massive casualties and a discrediting of both.
2) WATER & HEALTH: Water shortages due to overpopulation and/or plagues, famines and disasters.
3) CONVERSION: Conversion due to increasing availability of information in Muslim world and evangelistic efforts by indigenous churches or external missionaries.
4) WAR WITH EXTERNAL: War with West or China leading to annihilation.
5) ACT OF GOD: Asteroid strike on Mecca or major earthquake that flattens great mosque. Some kind of Divine intervention that knocks the heart out of the religion.
6) SLOW FADE: Corruption due to infiltration of Liberal ideas from West for example.
7) END OF OIL ECONOMY: Whether by conversion or alternative energy sources or because oil runs out main source of revenues in Muslim world will try up, their economies collapse and this will discredit Islam.
