So there have been plenty of films on the ‘Anti-Christ’ (or Dajjal) as long as Hollywood has been around. However, most of these ventures may not have portrayed him as a ‘false Messiah.’ Netflix’s upcoming feature Messiah <\/strong>is all set to change that.<\/p>\n

The series draws inspiration from Islam’s concept of ‘Al-Masih ad-Dajjal.<\/em>‘ Take a look at the trailer here:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Going by what major religions of the world say, Christianity paints the Anti-Christ as the Devil’s spawn, bringing about the destruction of the world. In Islam, ‘Al-Masih ad-Dajjal’\u00a0<\/em>or the Anti-Christ is a ‘false Messiah’ who basically represents the calm before the storm (Armageddon)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dajjal\u00a0<\/em>will supposedly start a cult, creating a ‘global peace’ and mislead people until the actual second coming of Hazrat Isa (or Jesus Christ as he’s known in Christianity), who exposes the false Messiah.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More About Messiah<\/h3>\n

Based on what we see in the trailer, we see a brown guy going around Israel, Syria, and the US,\u00a0 starting a cult that catches the attention of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n

We see CIA’s Eva Geller (played by Michelle Monaghan), who says ‘we can’t let this guy shake up the geopolitical power dynamic’.<\/p>\n

“He could be creating an army … or he could be leading them to their deaths.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oddly he’s targeting Syria, a conflict zone, Israel, the disputed holy land, and Texas, the heart of the Southern right. Which might explain the show’s tag line:<\/p>\n

“Will he convert you?\u00a0 Will he con you?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The series has been created by Michael Petroni, who is also behind Possession<\/em><\/strong> and Till Human Voices Wake Us<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Micheal Brandon Guercio penned the script.<\/p>\n
