When the anti-christ is revealed he will have to convince the Jews that he is their messiah. True?
 
That being the case will he not have to have been born in Bethlehem? OR at least say such?
 
The Jews still have the scriptures that speak of this and there are probably a few other verses that they will use to qualify such a person.
 
Just as when Jesus appeared will they not be looking for someone who will deliver them from their oppression? A king, a ruler, a strong man?
 
Does it not say, "Who can make war with the beast?" Will not the anti-christ be ruling some great power that the Jews will look to for their deliverance?
 
So, what prophecies in the O.T. that pertain to the messiah will the Jews be looking to as proof of "their messiah"? Bethlehem no doubt, the Rod of Jesse perhaps, a prophet like Moses maybe...what else will the anti-christ have to look like?
 
Just wondering,
