False Christs
FALSE CHRISTS
A question crops up in the mind as to who will be those who will try to impede the golden revolution and spiritual system? How will they bring the people around them and what type of persons will support them? The answer to this question has been supplied in the scriptures which say that the foremost of them will be false Christ. They will be the followers of Sufiyani, Dajjal, etc. This too has been told in detail in the prophecies and signs about the last age. Jesus Christ told the symptoms of such persons in the following words:
“When ye, therefore, shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,(who so readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains. let him who is on the house top not come down to take anything out of his house. Neither let him, which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woes unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days. But pray ye that your flight is not in the winter, Neither on the Sabbath day. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.”
St. Matthew Chapter 24 (15-22)
When the people requested Jesus Christ to tell them when shall these things happen and what shall be their signs? He replied:
“Take heed that no man deceives you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” And many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many and because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”
St. Matthew Chapter 24 (4-5, 11-13)
“Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; in so much that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
St. Matthew Chapter 24 (23-27)
“And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not beyet.”
St. Mark Chapter 13 (5-7)
“And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ and the time draweth near go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass, but the end is not by and by.”
St. Luke Chapter 21 (8-9)
The signs of Dajjal (anti-Christ great deceiver) as told in the Traditions of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) are as follows:
- He will be squint-eyed or one-eyed.
- He will turn up in the last age.
- His slogan will be: “Today is the day of Freedom”
- He will show astounding things.
- He will make a close search in the depths of the Seas.
- He will fly towards the sun for a stroll.
- A mountain of smoke will precede him.
- There will be a mountain of edibles at his back.
- He will cover the distance of months in moments.
- He will have only one eye in the center of his forehead.
- If he walks, his every step will be equal to one mile.
- His conveyance will be green and ash colored and there will be written in its forefront ‘Kafir ‘or’ Kufr’ (disbeliever) or (disbelief).
- He will have the power to make the rivers and springs dry.
- His movement will start from the eastern side of old Seestan (Iran) or from the village ‘Yahodia’ of Isfahan (Iran)
- His name ‘Dajjal’ (a big cheater) has been derived from the word ‘Dajl’ (to cheat).
- He will raise his voice which will be heard in east, west, and every corner of the world. He will say ‘O my companions come and support me. All the Economic resources are in my hand.” Then he will proudly talk about his inventions.
- He will be proud, stern, and troublesome. He will be so outspoken that he will say “I am your God Almighty”. He will reward those who will obey him and kill or crucify those who will not.
- He will impose his system and government all over the world except Mecca and Medina which will remain safe from his influence. Some say that Jerusalem will also be safe, where he will attack in the last and
- In his last days, two very loud voices will be heard throughout this world. One will be from the west and the other from the east. The West will lead the people astray and the East will invite them to Co-operate with the Right. The Divine and Devilish forces will assemble in their respective camps. The colour of the sun at this moment will first grow pale then blackish Then it will become totally dark.
This will be the time of ‘Tamatul-Kubra’ and the appearance of ‘Dabatul-Arz’. Simultaneously Sufiyani of Ummayads will also emerge who will create a lot of disturbance on the face of the earth. Three million persons will be killed at this time. A Christian will also appear with his army who will join the righteous group at the end. Most dangerous of all these afflictions, is the affliction of Dajjal. It has been told about him that he will be having his own paradise and hell.
A question arises as to what type of people will support him and how will he be able to win their sympathy.
The answer to it is that there are two methods to lead people astray.
- By dint of temptation.
- By terror.
Dajjal will be equipped with both. He will attract the pious people with astonishing and miraculous deeds and will thus lead them astray. It has been told in the books that his group will comprise of women of questionable character. Fornicators and bastards from among the Jews, Christians, Arabs, and other desert persons, having bad character, will join him. It has been told that they will be having a coverlet of green cloth at their shoulders. The book of Prophet Daniel tells that:
“And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hands; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision, for it shall be for many days.”
Daniel Chapter 8 (23-26)
“wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease, and their holy places shall be defiled.”
Ezekiel Chapter 7 (24)
“And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.”
St. Luke Chapter 21 (20)
It has also been said that Dajjal will have two chances to lead the people astray. He will be slain both times. Firstly he will be killed by Jesus Christ at the place called ‘Kannasa-e-Koofa’. Secondly in Israel at Mount Afeeq in the afternoon of Friday.(Including Syria and Jordan).
In the Revelation of St. John, a mention has been made of a dragon who will be kept in confinement for a thousand years. It is just possible that Dajjal might be the same dragon because it is known that the Devil will be killed at a specified point in time. Anyhow the reality is better known to God Almighty.
