THE BIBLICAL DESTINY OF ISLAM – What the Bible Says About Islam

The Bible names Ishmael. It traces his descendants. And what it says about their future has sparked debate for fourteen centuries.In this episode, I explore what the Bible actually says about Islam — not through modern politics, but through scripture itself. From the prophecy of Ishmael as a "wild donkey of a man" whose hand would be against everyone (Genesis 16:12), to the sons of Keturah who settled in the Arabian Peninsula, to Paul's encounter with the "unknown god" in Acts 17 — what connections exist between biblical text and the faith of 1.8 billion people? Some scholars point to Deuteronomy 18:18 as a prophecy of Muhammad. Others see the "destroyer" in Revelation as a reference to Ottoman expansion. This episode separates theological interpretation from speculation, examining both respectful dialogue and areas of irreconcilable difference. Based on scripture, historical records, and scholarly commentary, this is a deep dive into one of the most sensitive questions in interfaith discussion. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play — because what the Bible says about Islam may surprise you.
