This Beast is symbolic of the personality behind it and is not interpreted literally as an animal. This person will be an unparalleled political, military and religious leader in the Last Days (Rev 13:1-9).  * Muslims expect that at the End Times, there will arise a Muslim leader called al-Mahdi, meaning "The Guided One". He will be the leader of all the Muslims and will wage jihad against the rest of the world and bring the entire world under Islam. This means his kingdom will be world-wide and his accomplishment will surpass all the great Empires in history. Thus, he will be an unparalleled ruler over the whole world.  – Mahdism, as some call it, is a very important expectation among Muslims. Several Muslims, including Osama bin Laden, President Ahmadinejad of Iran, etc, have in recent history made speeches concerning this. More aspects of the al-Mahdi will be reviewed as we go down this list. Some Muslims think that ad-Dajjal corresponds to the Biblical Antichrist. Islamic hadiths say that the followers of ad-Dajjal are mostly the Jews (numbering 70,000) and women. This hardly indicates a prominent Israeli leader, let alone a world leader. Hence, it is safe to say that ad-Dajjal is not a world leader. However, the hadiths do credit him with the ability to wreck havoc around the world. We shall see that there are other End Times personalities in the Bible that also have this ability. Also, the hadiths say that Muslims will be able to recognize ad-Dajjal and therefore will not follow him, so only that leaves a large segment of the world population who will resist him. Again, this indicates that ad-Dajjal is not the global leader that the Bible describes. Now, turning the question around, how about the Antichrist and the "Christian" nations? The problem is of course one will be hard-pressed to find any "Christian" nation in the world. Europe is in the post-Christian era, and America is really not much far behind. There is no nation in this world that has its constitution grounded in the Bible (influenced, yes, but not grounded). After-all, with separation of church and state in these traditional "Christian" countries, many have abandoned Christianity as state religion to be more inclusive of everyone, including Muslims. So, for the whole world to follow the al-Mahdi (the Beast) is a real possibility, since another reason as we shall soon see, is that any Biblical Christians around will be persecuted during the End Times. Another reason is that Europe is fast becoming Islamicized, and as such, Europe might even become "Eurabia" soon. Thus Europe is or will be ready to accept, either willingly or not, the domination of Islam soon.</blockquote>
