Is the Antichrist on the World Stage? A Prophecy Researcher Makes His Case

About this episode

Could the Antichrist already be alive today…and would Christians even recognize him?In this episode of Faith & Friction, Annaly Mawire sits down with pastor, author and end-times researcher Ryan Speakman to examine a provocative theory about the identity and origins of the biblical Antichrist.Ryan believes the biblical clues may point somewhere many Christians aren’t looking. His case takes us through the tribe of Dan, the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, Daniel’s “king of the north,” Syria, Islamic end-times prophecy and the mysterious figure Muslims call the Mahdi.And eventually, Ryan names the world leader he believes could be a serious candidate for the Antichrist.Rather than simply accepting the theory, Annaly puts it to the test.In this conversation: • What does the Bible actually tell us about the Antichrist? • Could the Antichrist come from the tribe of Dan? • What happened to the Ten Lost Tribes? • Could the Antichrist be both Syrian and Israelite? • What does Daniel’s “king of the north” actually mean? • Does Daniel 9:26 point toward a Roman/Greco-Roman Antichrist? • Could Islam’s Mahdi actually be the biblical Antichrist? • Could Islam play a role in Tribulation persecution?
