Chapter 8: Islams Al-Madhi, Abaddon Rises The Bible calls him, Abaddon, the Hebrew name for destroyer. Islam calls him, al-Mahdi, master of the sword, and the long awaited one. In Last Days Biblical prophecy, he is the scarlet beast of Revelation 17; the man of lawlessness of 2 Thessalonians 2:3; the angel of the abyss of Revelation 9:11; the beast from the earth of Revelation 13:11f; and, the little horn of Daniel 7:24-25. To Christians, he is the last false prophet, i.e., the Antichrist. To Shia Islam, he is al-Mahdi. One religion sees him as the instrument of satans highest hour. The other as an instrument of peace and justice, and who will bring the world to Islam, albeit through his sword. If there ever was a time when one person can mean such different things to different people, it is now. Antichrist or Al-Mahdi. You choose.
