> For those who believe that the antichrist and beast system of global government are coming soon, how do you think they will solve the problem of Islam?
Possibly the antichrist IS Islam, so he won't try to get rid of it and won't see Islam as a problem to be solved.
Many Muslim-background believers believe that the first horseman of the Apocalypse (the white horse, Rev. 6.2) will be the Mahdi, the Islamic Messiah. They say he will enter Jerusalem on a white horse and reign from Jerusalem for 7 years. He will partner with the Arabic Jesus (Isa), who will deny that he is the Son of God.
In both the Qur’an (possibly Sura 9.33) and the Hadith it is taught that the "entire world" will convert to Islam. In Sura 8.12, et al., Islam teaches that this One World Religion will enforce the pain of death by beheading. They will hunt down Jews and Christians and kill them.
Some Bible interpreters think that the rise of "locusts" in Rev. 9.3 describes the rise of Islam and its conquering the world by violence.
They see the mortal wound of Rev. 13.3 as the wound of Muhammad at the Battle of Uhud, from which he recovered and proceeded to create a false religious and political system driven by violence, martyrdom of Christians, a quest for power, and an ideology built to oppose Jesus. They see Islam as the beast of Revelation 13.
Finally, some see the whore of Babylon (Rev. 17.1-8) as a great religious system, viz., Islam.
Obviously these are all speculations, as just about everything is in Revelation. We can talk about it more if you want.
> Places like Iran and practically the whole of the Middle East and North Africa...
Some people have even seen the new treaties of UAE and Bahrain, etc., with Israel as a fulfillment of Daniel 9.27. We'll see, right?
