The politics of the Middle East is not just about past grievances and present frustrations, but also about future allusions. Christians have long targeted Israel as the prophetic space for the second coming of Christ, at least seven years of prophecied tribulation for Israel and a cataclysmic battle at Armageddon with Satan himself. Muslims likewise have evolved yawm al-qiyâma scenarios in which Dajjâl is an avatar of the Antichrist, the Mahdi is about to be revealed and Gog and Magog will cause unprecedented mayhem in the Middle East. For both eschatologically inclined Christians and Muslims the Internet has opened up a forum for projections involving current world leaders and regimes in the Middle East. This paper will discuss the range of online apocalyptic scenarios that incorporate the current political turmoil in the Middle East into the traditional framework of end-time predictions. The focus will be on the application of exegetical rhetoric about apocalypse to current political events in the Middle East. Both Christians and Muslims make space for a final good vs. evil battle at the site of (or symbolized by) Armageddon in modern Israel. Both religions also portray Jerusalem, the current focus of deadlock in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, as the eventual entry point for Jesus/’Issa. In what ways do the Christian and Muslim scenarios, which at times draw on the same biblical source material, differ or offer similar projections? What are the criteria used in these scenarios for identifying existing Middle Eastern leaders and regimes as targets for prophetic interpretation? Apocalyptic scenarios, in which Christians and Muslims often target each other as opponents, have existed throughout the history of both religions. Now with the ease of access of the Internet, a wide variety of idiosyncratic views and reinterpretations of classic prophetic texts is available. To what extent do the current cyberexegetes reflect the shifting political rhetoric in the region? Is the extent of prophetic pronouncements having any impact on current political debates? This paper will analyze the potential of the spread of apocalyptic scenarios in cyberspace to influence politics on the ground.
