Is Mohammad the False Prophet?

[arunma]

Today, a Catholic friend of mine suggested that the so-called prophet Mohammad is the false prophet that Saint John refers to in the Revelation. This is an intriguing idea, but John also says that the false prophet will cause the nations to worship an image. And of all the evil Mohammad taught, idolatry wasn't one of his ideas. What do you all think of this?

Never heard it before. Didja try posting this question at OBOB to see what their thoughts were on it?

No, because I know this isn't a teaching of the Catholic Church. In fact, it sounds more like something a fundamentalist would say (not that I'm opposed to the idea that Mohammad is the false prophet).

At first I thought this thread was asking "Is Mohammad a false prophet?" and thought to myself, "duh!" But after catching the word "the" I would have to answer that I have never heard of such a thing.

Anyone who professes false doctrine is a false prophet.

If anyone is under the impression that the false prophet has already manifested itself on earth, then that would mean that the antichrist has come as well, would it not?

It is my understanding that the false prophet will be made known to the world during the same period as the antichrist. The beast, antichrist, and false prophet can be said to be the counterfeit trinity. They will be manifested to the world during the end days.

Well yes, Mohammad is a false prophet. I'm just wondering if he's the false prophet who will decieve the nations and lead them to the antichrist. It's a compelling theory. But Mohammad hasn't actually led people to worship false gods.

I personally believe that Mohammad is a false prophet because of the following Scripture:

Mark 13:23- But take ye heed: Behold, I have foretold you ALL things.

Those are Christ's words. He has foretold us ALL things, everything that we need to know to follow Him in the Scripture. Anyone who teaches contrary to His word is a false prophet. That includes preachers, teachers, false gods...

In fact, God's wrod says that judgement begins at the pulpit (altar).

The word prophesy means to profess or simply "teach".

The false prophet(s) that will lead the world to worship an image are already here. They are prachers and teachers that don't teach the word of God. They may preach for an hour and only give you one verse of God's word and 55 minutes of gibberish that they wrote themselves.

The false prophets use Religion to decieve you by bringing in false doctrine into the church causing you to not know the truth of God's word and that the anti-christ comes first.
The false prophets use Education to decieve you (ie Evolution)
The False prophets use the economy and politics to keep the word of God out and to build the one world system (the beast).

There are Muslim prophecies of a messianic type leader. A man at our church who has been a missionary in several Muslim countries wrote a book about this and how he sees it might fit into the end times. I haven't read the book yet. But if you're interested, his site is at http://www.from911to666.com
