They all originated in the Middle East, the Semitic people, who originally belonged to the same ancestors, all opposed to idolatry, polytheism, and only believed in one supreme creator who ruled the universe. All three religions have holy sites in Jerusalem, and they all claim to be their holy cities. At the same time, the scriptures of the three religions have many common connections. For example, the Christian "Old Testament" is the Jewish scripture "Tanakh", and the traditions of the three religions all regard Abraham (Ibrahim) in the Old Testament of the Bible as the patriarchal saint, and they all originated in the desert region of the Middle East, and the mythological characters of the three religions also have many similarities (such as Abraham, known as Ibrahim in Islam). At the same time, however, the three religions constitute the main crux of the Middle East problem, such as Islam and Christianity. The Israelis who profess Judaism consider the area centered on Jerusalem to be the "Promised Land" of the Israelites and conflict with the Islamic state, and so on.

1. What apocalyptic religions have in common
The common source is Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, all of which are derived from the same primitive religion, ancient Judaism. Christianity is an emerging sect of ancient Judaism, while Islam is the religion that Muhammad claimed to have been inspired by Allah (Yahweh). It also states that the Qur'an is the final and most complete revelation of Allah (Jehovah).
1. A common God
The common monotheistic Judaism, Christianity, and Islam believe in the same deity, called Yahweh, Yahweh, and Allah, respectively, but the three religions have very different interpretations of this god.
A common ancestor, both Jews and Arabs consider Abraham (Ibrahim) to be their ancestor. According to the Semitic texts, the Bible and the Qur'an, Abraham had two sons: either Ishmael or Esau, the ancestors of the Arabs. Both Jews and Arabs consider Abraham (Ibrahim) to be their ancestor. He himself had a high position among Christians and Muslims. In the Christian faith. Abraham was a model of faith, and the Qur'an calls Ibrahim "the teacher of all"
2. A common holy place
The common holy site of Jerusalem (known to Muslims as the ancient capitals) is the common holy site of the three Semitic monotheistic religions.
2. Religious Divisions of the Apocalypse
1. Judaism
It is believed that Abraham and Moses were prophets, directly under the command of the one God, "Yahweh", and that God made a covenant with the Israelites through Moses called the Ten Commandments, and that as long as the Israelites kept the covenant and worshiped only the one God, God would bless the Israelites. Religiously, Judaism recognizes only the Old Testament portions of the Bible. i.e. the Hebrew Bible or Hebrew manuscripts. Judaism does not accept the doctrine of the Son or the Trinity, and they do not consider Jesus Christ to be their Messiah. And continue to wait for the coming of the Messiah. They considered Muhammad's self-proclaimed prophet to be a false prophet and that the Qur'an was a man-made apocrypha.
2. Christianity
It was born as a new Jewish sect around the first century AD. The sect believed that the Jews had broken the covenant between God (Yahweh) and the Israelites (i.e., the Old Testament), so they sent his Son Jesus as the Messiah (Messiah) to atone for the sins of mankind with His own life, and to make a "new covenant" not only with the Israelites but with all mankind. Most Christians believe in the "Trinity", i.e., "God the Father", "God (God Being)", "God the Son (Jesus Christ)", and "Holy Spirit (the part of God that people believe in and dwells in people's hearts)" are the three states of God, the essence of which is God. Ibid., they hold that Muhammad's claim to be a prophet is a false prophet, and that the Qur'an is a man-made apocrypha.
3. Islam
Muslims recognize Moses and Jesus because the Qur'an recognizes and recounts the deeds of Moses and Jesus. However, in the Qur'anic narrative, Jesus is not the incarnation of God, but only a messenger (or prophet) who conveyed the revelation like Muhammad, and was not crucified, but was raised to heaven by God (Allah) in the flesh before his death, and was crucified only by Judas in the form of Jesus (see the entry Jesus), Muslims believe that Muhammad is the last prophet of the Abrahamic religions, that is, the messenger who seals all saints, and the Islamic view is: Muhammad is not the founder of Islam, Rather, he is a revivalist of the right path, who simply receives the revelation of Allah and spreads Islam, and Muslims in China are generally called Muhammads.
Islam also does not accept the doctrine of the Son, and they believe that the Trinity of Christianity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) is a renunciation of monotheism, a polytheism in disguise. So they don't believe that God will have sons. They believe that Allah chooses a prophet every once in a while to bestow a Scripture, Abraham, Moses, King David, and 'Isa (Jesus) are prophets, and Muhammad is the last prophet chosen by Allah, the so-called "sealed most holy". In terms of faith, Islam believes in the revelation of Allah (God) to mankind, there are more than 100 books, most of which have now been lost, lost, and distorted, and there are only 4 books left in the world: the first is called the torah, that is, the Torah in the Old Testament; The second is called zabur, the psalms of the Old Testament; The third is called injil, the gospel of the New Testament; The fourth is called koran, or the Quran. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament are books given by Allah, but they are no longer followed because they have been tampered with, and the Qur'an is the last and most complete book issued by Allah, the most authoritative of all the scriptures. Second, Islam does not recognize the doctrine of the atonement.
Although the Arabs were also a branch of the Semitic people, however, the Semitic people were very large, and the time when the Arab nation in general really came into being was around the time when the Islamic prophet Muhammad founded the Arab Empire. Politically, from the formation and rise of nomadic peoples, often rely on the rise of a monarch and an empire, such as Genghis Khan to the Mongols, and the same is true of the Arab nations, the empire of the Arabs has not been preserved to this day, only their faith in Islam can endure. Judaism and Christianity believe that Islam, founded by Muhammad (and restored by Muslims), absorbed (and corrected) parts of their theology. It's just that the stories recorded in the ancient Jewish Bible are more the stories and history of the ancestors of the Jewish people than universal theology, which is different from Christianity and Islam.
Historically, Yahweh was only the god of the ancient Jews (Israelites), while Adam, Semi and Abraham were only the ancestors of the ancient Jewish people, just as the legend has it that the ancestors of the ancient Chinese, that is, the Chinese nation, the emperor and the Houtu, etc., are the gods in the Chinese culture. Later, with the spread of Christianity derived from Judaism in non-Jewish regions (such as Europe during the Roman Empire and the Americas after the Great Geographical Discoveries), and later Islam spread widely in many regions outside of Western Asia, the "god" of the ancient Jewish people, Yahweh, became the god of all Semitic monotheists because of the spread of the religion derived from it, although most of these people did not belong to the Semitic people. Due to the exclusivity and expansion of Semitic monotheism, among the ethnic groups that converted to Semitic monotheism, the Semitic beliefs and gods replaced the original beliefs and gods of their own ethnic groups, and many religious beliefs and cultures around the world died out as a result.
