Ive read that a lot of sunni muslims suspect that the Shias awaited 12th Imam would be the anti-christ... mainly because he speaks in Hebrew and rules from the Talmud. Strange isn't it?

Now for the Mahdi.

After looking at the subject from the viewpoint of the Bible I came up with this theory.

The Jews are expecting someone to appear called the Branch. This Branch would be a chosen man who would be expected to build the 3rd Temple. See the book of Zechariah. However according to the book of Revelation this Branch is also a Witness of Revelation.

Now the problem is that according to Isaiah 11 he does the following.

1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
15 And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

I would propose that this guy is also the Mahdi. Now that being said it would appear that the Muslims reject this guy. A war is triggered and a massive army comes against Israel. This guy gets killed and that triggers the Gog-Magog disaster. 5/6s of the army is destroyed. Later when the Antichrist appears both branches appear and fulfill the prophesies of the Witnesses of Revelation.

When the 1000 year reign of the saints starts both Branches return to earth to rule and restore the planet. And he restores the temple for the next thousand years.

I assume your referring to "the Whore" as the woman riding the beast in Revelation 17.

Read the description of the woman. She's wearing purple and scarlet, covered with jewels and holding a golden cup.

She is wearing the regalia of a priest. 'Woman' in the bible refers to the Church. The 'Mother of prostitutes' refers to the breakaway christian religions spawned from the Catholic Church.

The image of the woman riding a beast means what it appears. A person riding a beast means the person is in control and directing the beasts progress.

This is the Catholic Church (led by the Pope/False Prophet) directing and controlling the beast entity, the German led EU.

Do some research on the ties between the Vatican and Germany.

So in a nutshell we have, the Antichrist (the soon to appear new German leader) with his backer and promoter as God on earth, the False Prophet (Catholic Pope)

It has always been the overriding desire of the Vatican to possess Jerusalem. Its what the crusades were all about.
Now, that desire is becoming a reality. Soon Europe will be ready. Israel will be calling on them for help against the Muslims. The Vatican will seize this opportunity to defeat its Muslim enemy and have a beachhead inside Jerusalem.

The Vatican directed EU will attack and utterly defeat Iran and her allies, Eygpt, Lybia, Ethiopia.
(Daniel Ch11 King of the North/King of the South)

After three years of peace, the Vatican directed EU 'beast' will break the treaty with Israel, and with her Arab allies (Turkey, Saudia Arabia) will attack and invade Israel.

This is the time the EU leader will be taken over with the Antichrist spirit and install himself in the newly built Jewish temple and proclaim himself GOD.

Enter the Antichrist onto the world scene.
