The Enemies We Face Pt. 13

Derek Prince traces the spirit of Antichrist from first-century Jewish rejection of Jesus as Messiah, citing John 5:43 where Jesus warns that though He came in His Father's name, a false messiah coming in his own name would be received. Prince notes the Jewish Encyclopedia's record of roughly forty false messiahs since then, including Bar Kokhba, Moses of Crete, and Sabbatai Zvi, and suggests a future political figure who restores the Jewish temple could similarly be hailed as Messiah.

He then turns to Islam, founded by Muhammad in seventh-century Arabia, who claimed to fulfil and correct the Old and New Testaments. Prince argues Islam denies Christ's atoning death and His sonship, citing inscriptions on the Dome of the Rock declaring "God has no need of a son," and describes historical suppression of Jews and Christians as second-class "dhimmi" peoples, drawing on his own experience witnessing the degraded status of Christians in Pakistan.
