The Son of God didn't first come onto the scene in the final quarter of the Bible. He appeared as a fascinating and sometimes mysterious figure throughout the Old Testament. He is called by many names and referred to in many ways. He appeared as the Word of the Lord, as the presence within the Glory of the Lord, as the personification of Wisdom, as the Angel of the Lord, as the Captain of the Lord's army, and as Yahweh on earth. Some of his appearances were dramatic, while others were subtle. Each of them highlights the Son's role as the Father's messenger. And the appearances all foreshadowed the Incarnation, when the Son of God would become a man and more fully reveal the Godhead to his creation.

Den nyvalde presidenten i Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, riktade sig den 17 september 2005 till FN:s generalförsamling i ett tal. Som avslutande ord bad och vädjade Ahmadinejad öppet till Allah att snabbt frambringa den mystiska islamiska messiasfigur som kallas Mahdi. Journalister och andra åhörare anstrände sig för att förstå exakt vad detta betydde. Denna banbrytande bok undersöker i detalj vem Mahdin är enligt islamisk lära. Den tar även upp de många slående likheterna denne Mahdi bär med Bibelns Antikrist. Genom teologiskt sund forskning gör den kristna författaren Joel Richardson här en övertygande sammanställning som visar att Antikrist, hans religion och hans imperium kommer att uppstå i Mellanösterns mitt i stället för i Europa, som många uttolkare av profetior tidigare har antagit. Upptäck Muhammeds profetior om Jesu Kristi återkomst i denna häpnadsväckande granskning av hur islamiska och bibliska profetior kolliderar. Denna bok är ett måste för den som vill få en bättre förståelse för Bibelns profetior, islam och de underliggande krafter som driver denna tids tidiga stadier av den slutliga konflikten mellan ideologier och civilisationer.
