MARTIN LUTHER ON ISLAM Chris continues an earlier discussion pertaining to the prophecy teachings of Walid Shoebat. whose assertion is that the Antichrist will come through Islam, and that the Mark of the Beast is a reference to Islamic symbolism. Believe it or not, this teaching is not completely new but was considered during the time of the Protestant Reformation, and was actually discussed by Martin Luther. Luther famously believed that the Pope was the Antichrist, yet he saw prophetic fulfillment in the rise of Islam in Eastern Europe. How did he contrast Rome with the Turks? And what can we learn from his teachings today?
