When I say "we," I mean all of us here at GAW. Most of us here are able to spot fraud fairly easily I would think. If I remember from Sunday school classes as a kid, the anti-christ is supposed to be seen as some kind of a hero to the normal people. Some of the people will even think he's Christ himself, if I remember how the story goes. The anti-christ is supposed to be some kind of a leader that people can trust. What I don't remember though is the exact timeline as to when the anti-christ will first appear. I can't remember if it's before or after the big war in the middle East. Some of you biblical scholars can chime in. I also can't remember if the anti-christ will be Satan himself or one of his minions. When the market crashes, the anti-christ is supposed to relieve everybody of their personal debt if I remember correctly. That was one of the reasons why the anti-christ got to be so popular was because the people no longer had to pay off their debt. People were grateful for the anti-christ. Let me know in the comments how this thing is supposed to play out.

The anti Christ will have to be Jewish in order to be considered the Messiah...
What does being Jewish, even mean? Ethnicity? Religion? Ancestry? I believe that Jews and Israel are not the same.
Even a "Jewish" neighbor cannot explain what it means.
What I do know is from the Bible.
God Promised Abraham that he would be the father of many nations and bless his descendants. (But not all of them) God blessed Abraham's second son Isaac. God did not bless Abraham's first son Ishmael. Then God passed on this blessing to Isaac's second son Jacob, and not the first born Esau. God renamed Jacob, Israel, and Israel had 12 sons. Those 12 sons became the 12 tribes with ea of the sons as spiritual leaders. In the old Testament they became the "Children of Israel". One of those tribes was named Judah, from which we get the words, Judaism and Jews. In the new Testament, the word Jew is used almost exclusively as referring to the children of Israel b/c 10 of the 12 tribes ceased to exist, all except Judah (Jews) and Benjamin (also called Jews). The other 10 tribes intermarried and scattered to the point that no one could ID them as children of Israel.
So, who are the people inside of the country of Israel? Are they descendants of Benjamin or Judah? I believe that not all are the descendants of Jacob (Israel). Because it is not about Ancestry, it is about the faith God wanted from his children. THAT is all that matters. Faith and Belief. A faith you are willing to die for.
There is no way the anti-Christ will be Jewish. Discern Frens.
"Those who have ears let him hear."
PS there is so much more I would like to say, but I have to go.
