“…The major sign is the "emergence of the Antichrist, the descent of Jesus, and the rising of the sun in the west," which all point to the imminence of the end. 5 There will also be intense suffering by the unfaithful. The rise of the mysterious nations of Gog and Magog likewise plays a role in the eschatological scheme of Islam.…”

“…The rise of the mysterious nations of Gog and Magog likewise plays a role in the eschatological scheme of Islam. 6 Unbeknownst to many Christians, alongside the mysterious figure of Mahdi, the main protagonist in the Muslim eschatological drama, a central role is played by his deputy Jesus-as well as their antagonist, the Antichrist. What is strange about the figure of Mahdi is that there is no mention whatsoever of him in the Qur'an.…”

While the rise of neo-apocalypticism, as it is called in Christian parlance, is a well-known phenomenon to theologians and other scholars observing the current global religious landscape, the significance of neoapocalypticism in Islam is a less well-known fact. Yet-and this makes the topic so significant theologicallybetween these two forms of intense eschatological expectations, astonishing cross-breeding is taking place. This is counterintuitive in light of the fact that in many ways Islamic and Christian neo-apocalyptic visions seem to be totally hostile towards each other. This article introduces both Islamic and Christian neo-apocalypticisms and reflects on the implications of their co-existence and mutual exchanges for the future of interfaith relations and global peace.

The Story Begins 43 Dan, the patriarch of the tribe, was the son of Jacob and Bilhah, the handmaid of Jacob's wife, Rachel (Genesis 30.1-7). 4 Irenaeus' reasons for this were twofold. First, he cited the Old Testament book of Jeremiah 8.16 as evidence for this connection. For Irenaeus, this text showed not only that the Antichrist would come suddenly, but also that 'We shall hear the voice of his swift horses from Dan; the whole earth shall be moved by the voice of the neighing of his galloping horses: he shall also come and devour the earth, and the fullness thereof, the city also, and they that dwell therein.' 5 This was something of an interpretative stretch, not least because the referent in the Jeremiah passage was clearly the city of Dan in the north of the land of Canaan rather than the tribe of Dan. 6 That said, however, and second, Irenaeus assumed that the author of Revelation was himself convinced that the Antichrist would be a Jew who would come from the tribe of Dan. It was for this reason, Irenaeus believed, that the book of Revelation had omitted the tribe of Dan from its list of the twelve tribes that would make up the 144,000 who were marked by God with a seal on their foreheads (Revelation 7.3-18). 7 It is unlikely that the author of Revelation excluded Dan from his list of tribes on account of his believing that the final enemy would
