Satan is a great deceiver. In defense of a particular eschatology some may have been taught, some Christians use the Islamic Mahadi, or Mohammed's version of "The" "Antichrist", from the Quran, to confirm the same that John Darby, for one, taught, that we are to expect yet in the future. Though nobody has yet tried to make that case in this forum, in light of the verses that actually contain the term antichrist.
http://islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=125.0Can Satan be depended upon to reveal prophetic truth?
If The Quran confirms an understanding that we hold, of the figurative language of a dream or vision in prophecy, should we consider that a confirmation that our understanding is correct, or use it more as a wake-up call to take a closer look at what we have been taught?
Here is the verse from which so many draw the conclusion, that Mohammed cannot be the false prophet, because he never performed a single miracle. Indeed few are more quick than Muslims, to point out that Mohammed never performed a single miracle, when they consider this verse:
Rev 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.Consideration of the first century Greek term translated as "miracles" is very revealing:

New Testament Greek Definition:
4592
semeion {say-mi'-on}
from a presumed derivative of the base of 4591; TDNT - 7:200,1015; n n
AV - sign 50, miracle 23, wonder 3, token 1; 77
1)
a sign, mark, token1a)
that by which a person or a thing is distinguished from
others and is known1b) a sign, prodigy, portent, i.e. an unusual occurrence,
transcending the common course of nature
1b1) of signs portending remarkable events soon to happen
1b2) of miracles and wonders by which God authenticates the men
sent by him, or by which men prove that the cause they are
pleading is God's
1a)
that by which a person or a thing is distinguished from others and is knownMohammed is certainly distinguished from others by his Quran ("that" of 1a) and is definitely widely known for it. Indeed Mohammed and his Quran could not be a more perfect fit in this verse!
1)
a sign, mark, tokenCould the Quran be the "mark" that they "received"? Consider this in light of 1a:
Rev 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.Mohammed deceived "them" that follow him through his Quran, "with which" he deceives "them" unto today. Other passages in the Old and New Testaments indicate that this is a spiritual marking and not physical.
http://islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=510.0To insist that the mark is manifest physically on one's body would seem to require an explanation as to how "...the seal of God in their foreheads." would be manifest physically in Christians. A different microchip?
the mark
New Testament Greek Definition:
5480 charagma {khar'-ag-mah}
from the same as 5482; TDNT - 9:416,1308; n n
AV - mark 8, graven 1; 9

1a) of the mark stamped on the forehead or the right hand as the
badge of the followers of the Antichrist
1b) the mark branded upon horses
2) thing carved, sculpture, graven work
2a) of idolatrous images
Mohammed's graven work in their "foreheads", like the seal of God in a Christian's. When I first got to YouTube I did a search of - mark beast microchip - and found around 150 videos. Having just done the same search I find 645. What is the count today?

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.http://www.beholdthebeast.com/traditional_framework.htmAdditionally:
Rev 13:17
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.For an ethnographic view try this video series for a look into John's "world" and buying and selling by Brigette Gabriel.
Excellent playlist - a very brave lady:
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=B9A9AE72741B5495The name of the beast is Islam. The number 666.
http://islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=419.0Please review this Turkey based ISLAMIC website re 666 for just a moment or two:
http://www.66619.org/thequran.htmRev 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.Jihad is the
pinnacle of worship in Islam. This Second Islamic Jihad is the image of Mohammed's First Jihad that received it's deadly wound at the battle of Tours France, confirmed by Daniel's 1335.
http://www.beholdthebeast.com/mathematical_precision_of_prophecy.htm#daniel_1335_daysThe "beast's" seventh "head". Healed by western wealth transfer through oil purchase.
The whole verse would then be saying something like this:
And the Islamic Empire was taken, and with him* Mohammed that wrought the Quran before his followers with which he deceived those that had received the graven words of Islam, and the Mohammedans that worship in the second Jihad in the image of Mohammed's First Jihad.
(*Daniel assigned the masculine gender to his beasts)
There have been over 12,000 deadly Islamic terror attacks around the world in today's Second Jihad, just since 9-11, as logged by the folks at
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/This evil obviously has nothing to do with Jews or Zionism but rather the 1400 year long war of Islam against the non-Islamic world. The dar el salaam against the dar el harb. Two million killed in the Sudan alone. Nigeria is in the process. Beheading edict for not showing up for prayer 5 times a day in Mogadishu, Somalia. Three teenage girls beheaded on their way to Christian school in Indonesia. Bombings in Bali, England and Spain. Recent attacks in India. Wherever we find mass murder, mayhem and misery in the world today it is a near certainty that you will find Islam behind it. Nearly every time you hear the world "insurgents" or "rebels" or "militia" or some such other politically correct euphemism to describe mass murder of targeted innocents, in the news today, you can substitute the word Muslim.
Rev 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.At final judgment when all the living and dead are judged.
