Abstract:
Jews who believe that one of the descendants of David (PBUH) will be “established” who will be “Christ” will be their king and will settle all the Jews in Jerusalem and establish Jewish rule over the whole world. The Jews know Jesus as the Antichrist. Christians have two different beliefs about religious life. One is those who belong to the beginning, the other is those who belong to the end of the world. Like other religions of the world, Christianity is a sign of the Day of Judgment and Christianity will consider Jesus as Savior and Antichrist as an oppressor. Similarly, one thing that Islam and Christianity have in common is that they consider the Antichrist to be a tyrant and Jesus to be a prophet.
