The prophecy of Dabiq has strong parallels with Christian tales.
Like Dabiq, the Armageddon of the Bibleās New Testament book of Revelations is centred on a town ā on the hill of Megiddo.
As with Dabiq, this is supposed to be the start point of a dramatic and catastrophic conflict ā one that eventually destroys the world.
Dabiq featured in a vision, one which saw an apocalyptic fight against Islamās chief enemy ā Rome ā on the fields surrounding the town.
