In episode nine, ‘God is Greater’, Al-Masih backs up Rebecca’s importance to his plan – to use her to deliver his message to the world via her grandfather’s TV show. Credit: Netflix/YouTube Does anyone else offer any clues?Ī subtle clue to Al-Masih’s true nature comes from Rebecca, the epileptic daughter of the Iguero family. “Between him and me, I’m not the dangerous one,” he says. In actual fact, Wallace claims he is a follower of Payam and not the other way around. When agent Gellar visits Wallace, she suggests that he (as Al-Masih) is conning everyone, at the behest of Wallace, in order to weaken global confidence in established governments. Saviour or sinner? Perhaps the biggest piece of evidence comes from Payam’s association with cyber-terrorist (also professor) Oscar Wallace.

It is revealed that Al-Masih’s real name is Payam Golshiri, a man who once suffered from a psychiatric disorder.Ĭonfirmed by Al-Masih himself, CIA agent Eva Gellar uncovered that Payam Golshiri was a real individual who was brought up by his grandfather to be a professional con man, running run scams with his brother in their Iranian village to survive. So does that automatically mean Al-Masih is not the Antichrist? Is he, as expected, the Second Coming of Christ instead? Or is he just a man suffering from a delusional disorder? The answer: we don’t know. In fact, there’s not a single direct mention of the name ‘Dajjal’ at all. The show doesn’t really give viewers a comprehensive answer. So what does it all mean? Were those fans on the money, or are they just as confused as the rest of us? Here’s our best effort at explaining the Messiah ending… Is Messiah‘s Al-Masih the Antichrist? Taking to social media to share their thoughts on that mega-twist ending – specifically that Al-Masih was actually the Antichrist – some fans were reportedly were reportedly blocked by Netflix for letting the cat out of the bag too soon. But many Twitter users noted that Al-Masih is a shortened version of an Antichrist-type figure in Islam known as Al-Masih ad-Dajjal. Before the show even aired, it was revealed in the trailer that the titular messiah was named Al-Masih, which means ‘Messiah’ in Arabic.
