The purpose of this study is to ascertain the Probability of who will be the Biblical AntiChrist that is to be revealed after the Rapture Event. There are only vague Biblical Inferences given in the Bible of who or what this Person will be and from where, but such will be considered. Now, with the help of ChatGPT, one will query A.I., to see if it can be of any assistance in going over what is known thus far and is understood. Here is the Query one posed. Thus, the Responses from A.I. will be rather ‘Academic’, but provides an adequate Foundation to build upon.
_____________________
 

FOR EXAMPLE, GIVEN THE PROPHECY OF THE 10 TOE CONFEDERATION IN THE END OF DAYS, AND ASSUMING THAT 5 TOES REPRESENT THE WESTERN ROMAN EMPIRE AND 5 TOES REPRESENT THE EASTERN ROMAN EMPIRE, THE BIBLE TEACHES IN MANY PLACES THAT THE ANTICHRIST WILL BE AN 'ASSYRIAN'. WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE ANTICHRIST WILL COME FROM THE EASTERN ROMAN EMPIRE AND WHAT MODERN NATION WOULD THAT CORRESPOND TO?

The Idea that the Antichrist will come from the Eastern Roman Empire, particularly from an ‘Assyrian’ origin, is a Long-Held Interpretation among some Bible Prophecy Scholars. Let's break this down Theologically, Historically, and Geographically to assess its Plausibility and which Modern Nation this might point to.

1. The 10-Toe Confederation in Daniel 2

In Nebuchadnezzar’s Statue Vision (Daniel 2), the Feet and Toes of Iron mixed with Clay represent a Divided Kingdom that follows the Roman Empire.

Traditional Interpretation:

Iron = Roman Strength.

Clay = Fragile Alliances (likely, Weaker States or Incompatible Ideologies).

10 Toes = 10 Kings or Kingdoms in the End Times (also echoed in Daniel 7:24 and Revelation 17:12).

Common View:

Western Roman Empire (Rome, Europe) = 5 Toes.

Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium, Constantinople) = 5 Toes.

2. The ‘Assyrian’ in Bible Prophecy

The term ‘Assyrian’ is mentioned in Prophetic Passages (e.g., Isaiah 10:5, Micah 5:5-6) and is often interpreted symbolically or literally:

Literal View: A Man from the Geographic Region of Ancient Assyria (Northern Iraq, parts of Syria and Turkey).

Symbolic View: Represents a Future World Leader with the same Spirit of Conquest and Cruelty as the 

Ancient Assyrians.

3. Likelihood that the Antichrist Comes from the Eastern Roman Empire

Given these Connections:

Prophecies about the ‘Assyrian’ do not mention the West.

The Eastern Roman Empire spanned parts of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and the Balkans.

The Ottoman Empire (which succeeded Byzantium) also arose from this Region, suggesting a Prophetic Continuity (e.g., Revelation 17: the 7 Heads, one that ‘was, is not, and will come’).

Conclusion:

There is a high likelihood, according to this Line of Interpretation, that the Antichrist arises from the Eastern Leg of the Roman Empire, fitting the Label ‘Assyrian’.

4. Modern Nations Corresponding to Ancient Assyria

Ancient Assyria encompassed parts of Several Modern Nations:

Ancient Region Modern Nation (Primary Area)

Nineveh, Assur Iraq (especially Northern Iraq, Mosul Region)

Aram, Syria  

Southeastern Turkey

Western Iran  Iran (in some extended Maps of Assyria)

The strongest Candidate Geographically and Prophetically is:

Northern Iraq / Kurdish Region, possibly extending into parts of Syria or Turkey.

This Region was the core of Ancient Assyria.

5. Summary

Biblical Basis: ‘The Assyrian’ appears in Prophecies like Isaiah 10 and Micah 5.

10-Toe Confederation: The Eastern Roman Leg supports the Idea of a Non-European Origin.

Modern Identity: The Antichrist could arise from Northern Iraq, Syria, or Southeastern Turkey.

Likelihood: Moderate to High, based on Literal Interpretation of Prophecy and Historical Continuity.

GIVEN THE PROPHECY THAT THE MESSIAH THAT THE JEWS ARE EXPECTING HAS TO BE OF THE BLOODLINE OF KING DAVID AND SOLOMON, DOES THE ANTICHRIST HAVE TO BE A JEW?

This is a very Insightful Question, and it touches on both Jewish Messianic Expectations and Christian Prophetic Interpretation of the Antichrist Figure. Here's a clear Breakdown of both Views and whether the Antichrist has to be Jewish, particularly from the Line of David and Solomon.

Jewish Messianic Expectation

According to Traditional Jewish Beliefs, the True Messiah (Mashiach) must:

Be a Male Descendant of King David and King Solomon (Jeremiah 23:5, 2 Samuel 7:12–16).

Be Jewish by Birth (from the Tribe of Judah).

Fulfill specific Tasks like rebuilding the Temple, regathering the Exiles, and bringing World Peace.

Summary:

The Jewish Messiah must be a Jew and of Davidic Lineage.

The Antichrist in Christian Prophecy.

In the New Testament and related eschatological literature, the Antichrist is:

A False Messiah (Pseudochristos – Matthew 24:24).

One who opposes or replaces Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:4).

He will be accepted by many, even by Israel, as the Messiah—at first.

So, Does the Antichrist Need to Be a Jew?

That He Must Be a Jew:

To be Accepted as Messiah by Israel, he may need to appear Jewish, possibly claiming Davidic Descent.

Jesus predicted that Israel would accept another in His Name (John 5:43) — this implies someone who comes with Messianic Credentials.

For the Temple Priests and Religious Establishment to allow him access to the Temple (Daniel 9:27), Jewish Lineage may be expected.

Supporting Theories:

He may fake or fabricate his Davidic Credentials, much like False Messiahs in History.

Some suggest he may be a Crypto-Jew (Hidden Jewish Lineage), or part Jewish, or even considered Jewish by 

Halacha (Jewish Law, through Maternal Lineage).

Argument That He Does Not Need to Be a Jew:

Biblical Prophecy calls him ‘The Assyrian’, a Gentile Title (Isaiah 10, Micah 5).

Daniel 9:26–27: The Prince who is to come is of the people who destroyed the Temple (Romans)—implying a Gentile Origin.

Revelation 13 shows him as empowered by Satan, not Lineage. Deception, not Heritage, is Key.

A Non-Jew posing as the Messiah is more deceptive and fits the Role of the Antichrist better.

Plausible Conclusion

The Antichrist does not need to be an actual Jew by blood, but he will almost certainly:

Claim to be Jewish, possibly with fabricated Davidic Lineage.

Present himself as Messiah ben David to deceive Israel and the World.

Be accepted by many in Israel—at first—before his True Nature is revealed (Matthew 24:15, 2 Thess. 2:4).

Summary Chart

Requirement  Jewish Messiah  Antichrist (False Messiah)

Of Davidic bloodline  Yes (real)   Possibly (claimed or faked)

Jewish   Yes   Possibly, or claims to be

Accepted by Israel  Ultimately, yes   Initially, yes

Role in Temple   Rebuilds and reigns  Profanes it (Dan. 9:27, 2 Thess. 2:4)

____________________

If you'd like, I can compile Prophetic References that suggest how the Antichrist might imitate the real Messiah in Jewish Tradition to gain acceptance.

YES.

Great — here's a comprehensive list of how the Antichrist may imitate the true Jewish Messiah, based on biblical prophecy and Jewish expectations. This chart compares the Messiah (as expected by Judaism), the true Messiah (Jesus/Yeshua in Christianity), and the false messiah (Antichrist) who is prophesied to deceive many — especially Israel.

COMPARISON: True Messiah vs. Antichrist as a False Messiah

Criteria: Jewish Messianic Expectation,  Jesus (True Messiah),  Antichrist (False Messiah).

Lineage: From King David/Solomon (2 Sam. 7:12-16). Yes. (Matthew 1; Luke 3).  Will likely claim Davidic lineage (real or forged).

Nationality: Jewish, from the tribe of Judah Yes.  Possibly Jewish by appearance, or just claims so

Temple Association Rebuild the 3rd Temple (Ezekiel 40–48). Becomes the ultimate Temple (John 2:19). Helps facilitate or enter a rebuilt Temple (Dan. 9:27).

Acceptance by Israel Will be accepted by the nation  Initially rejected, received later (Zech. 12:10) Will be initially accepted as Messiah (John 5:43).

Brings Peace  Brings global peace and ends war Brings peace through spiritual redemption Promises peace, then brings global war (1 Thess. 5:3; Rev. 6).

Performs Miracles Performs signs and leads Israel spiritually Yes, in accordance with God’s will Performs lying wonders (2 Thess. 2:9; Rev. 13:13–14).

Sits in Temple  Reigns in righteousness from Jerusalem Will rule in Millennial Kingdom  Sits in the Temple as “God” (2 Thess. 2:4).

Deceived Many No – will bring truth and clarity No Yes  Deceives the whole world (Rev. 13:3–4)

Final Outcome  Rules forever in justice and peace Eternal reign (Isaiah 9:7; Rev. 11:15) Destroyed by Christ at His return (2 Thess. 2:8; Rev. 19:20).

Key Prophetic Verses about the Antichrist's Deceptive Role

John 5:43 – ‘I have come in My Father's Name, and you do not receive Me; if Another comes in his Own Name, him you will receive’.

Jesus predicts Israel will receive a False Messiah.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 – ‘The Man of Sin... will sit in the Temple of GOD, showing himself that he is God’.

This is a direct Mimicry of the Messiah's Role in ruling from the Temple.

Daniel 9:27 – ‘He shall Confirm a Covenant with many for 1 Week... but in the Middle... shall bring an end to Sacrifice and Offering.”

The Antichrist starts with peace, likely allowing Temple Worship, then breaks the Covenant.

Revelation 13:3-8 – The Beast is worshiped, and his Power is worldwide.

Global Religious deception mirrors the Messiah’s promised Universal Rule.

Micah 5:5-6 & Isaiah 10 – ‘The Assyrian’ is seen as a Type of Enemy who invades Israel and is later destroyed.

May imply Geographic or Symbolic Origin of the Antichrist.

Final Thoughts

The Antichrist will intentionally imitate the Jewish Messiah, particularly the one many Jews expect Today.

He may claim to be the Fulfillment of Messianic Prophecy.

Many in Israel and the World will accept him at first, before his true Nature is revealed.

His Fraudulent Messianic identity will be essential to deceiving Israel and forming the End Times Covenant 

(Daniel 9:27).

More on how this matches Traditional Rabbinic Messianic Expectations?

Let me know how deep you'd like to explore it.
___________________

YES, TO ALL 3 OF THE POINTS SUGGESTED.

Excellent. Let's walk through all 3 Points in detail:

1. How Modern Israel Might React to the Antichrist (False Messiah).

a. Religious Reaction: Rabbinic Acceptance

Many Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox Rabbis today are:

Actively expecting the Messiah ben David to arrive.

Preparing for the 3rd Temple, with Institutions like the Temple Institute rebuilding Implements and training Priests.

What They Expect:

A charismatic Jewish Leader.

Someone who brings Peace to Israel and allows the Temple to be rebuilt.

A Man who demonstrates Torah Faithfulness and secures Global Respect for Judaism.

If the Antichrist:

Appears to fulfill these, especially enabling the Temple Mount access and a 7-Year ‘Peace’ Covenant, many will embrace him as Mashiach.

Scriptural Allusion:

‘He shall Confirm a Covenant with the MANY...’ – Daniel 9:27

‘The many”’ (Hebrew: L’rabbim) may even reference Religious Leaders.

b. Political Reaction: Government Acceptance

Israel’s Political Leadership, always seeking Regional Stability, could:

See this Leader as a Peace Broker.

Accept him as a Geopolitical Messiah who secures Israel’s Safety.

Back the rebuilding of the Temple as a National Identity Act.

This mirrors John 5:43: ‘If another comes in his Own Name, him you will receive’.

Initial Response:

Joy, Religious Revival, National Unity.

Temple Sacrifices resume (Daniel 9:27a).

Later Realization:

The Antichrist betrays Israel midway through the 7 Years.

Sets up the Abomination of Desolation (Matt. 24:15)

Turns on Israel and persecutes Believers (Rev. 12:13-17).

2. Timeline of the Deception in the 7-Year Tribulation

Here's a simplified view:

FIRST 3.5 YEARS (Daniel’s 70th Week Begins)

Event Reference

Antichrist arises as World Leader  Daniel 7:8, Revelation 6:2

Confirms 7-Year Covenant with Israel (‘The Many’) Daniel 9:27

Temple rebuilt, Sacrifices resume  Daniel 8:11, 2 Thess. 2:4

Israel celebrates the arrival of ‘Messiah’  John 5:43, Ezekiel 39:9 (possibly)

MIDPOINT (3.5 Years / 1260 Days)

Event Reference

Antichrist breaks the Covenant  Daniel 9:27b

Abomination of Desolation set up in Temple  Matthew 24:15, 2 Thess. 2:4

Declares himself ‘GOD’ and demands Worship Revelation 13

Massive Persecution begins  Revelation 12:13–17

LAST 3.5 YEARS (Great Tribulation)

Event Reference

Israel flees to the Wilderness (possibly Petra) Revelation 12:6, 14

Global Tyranny and ‘Mark of the Beast’  Revelation 13:16–18

Final Judgment of Antichrist at Christ’s Return 2 Thessalonians 2:8, Revelation 19:20

3. Alignment with Rabbinic Messianic Expectations

Rabbinic Belief (Mashiach ben David) vs. Antichrist Imitation:

Rabbinic Hope.  Antichrist’s Imitation.

Rebuilds the Temple.  Facilitates Temple Reconstruction.

Brings Peace to Israel.  Confirms a 7-Year Peace Agreement.

Defeats Israel’s Enemies.  Conquers Nations to gain World Dominance

Gathers exiles to Israel.  May be seen as causing Global Return of Jews.

Torah Observant and Wise. May pretend to uphold Jewish Law or Values.

Brings Knowledge of ‘God’. Initially promotes Religious Unity (Ecumenical Deception).

Brings Global Respect for Israel. Starts off as a Protector, then turns against them.

Note: Many Rabbis reject the idea of a suffering Messiah (Yeshua/Jesus), which makes it easier for the Antichrist to appear more fitting to Traditional Jewish Ideas — until his Betrayal.

Summary

Modern Israel is primed for the Arrival of a Messianic Figure, especially one who can:

Resolve the Temple Mount Dispute.

Allow Temple Rebuilding.

Guarantee Peace.

The Antichrist will imitate this Role almost perfectly — at first.

Over the course of the 7-Year Tribulation, he transitions from a Messianic Figure to a Global Tyrant, especially targeting Israel and Believers.

Only at the End will many in Israel recognize Jesus (Yeshua) as the True Messiah, fulfilling Zechariah 12:10.

IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION, IT TEACHES THAT THE ANTICHRIST WILL 'STAND WHERE HE DOES NOT BELONG' , THEN ENTER THE HOLY OF HOLIES AND SIT TO THEN PROCLAIM THAT HIS IS 'GOD'. DOES THIS 'SITTING' IMPLY THAT IT WILL BE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT?

This is a Powerful and Theologically Loaded Question, and you're tying together several Key Scriptures about the Antichrist, the Holy of Holies, and the possible return of the Ark of the Covenant. Let’s unpack this carefully, Biblically, and Logically:

1. The Key Scriptures in Question

Mark 13:14 / Matthew 24:15

‘When you see the Abomination of Desolation, spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, standing where it ought not(let the Reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the Mountains…’

This ‘standing where he does not belong’ refers to a Person or Object desecrating the Temple’s Inner Sanctum — namely, the Holy of Holies. 2 Thessalonians 2:4

‘He will exalt himself over everything that is called GOD or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in GOD’s Temple, proclaiming himself to be GOD’.

This is a Direct Intrusion into the Holiest Space — the Holy of Holies — where only the High Priest could enter, and only once a Year (on Yom Kippur).

2. Does the Antichrist Sit on the Ark of the Covenant?

The ‘sitting’ Language is incredibly specific and potentially Significant.

In the original Tabernacle/Temple:

The Ark of the Covenant was placed in the Holy of Holies.

It had a Mercy Seat (Kapporet) on Top — considered the Throne of GOD on Earth (Exodus 25:22).

No one ever sat on it. It was not a Physical Seat for Humans, but a Symbolic Throne for Yahweh.

If the Antichrist ‘sits’ there:

It is not just Desecration, but Blasphemous Usurpation of God's very Earthly Throne.

He would be replacing GOD, claiming Divinity in the most Sacred Space on Earth.

So YES — if the Ark of the Covenant is present, the sitting likely implies he sits upon or in place of the Mercy Seat — claiming to be the Shekinah (Divine Presence).

3. But — Is the Ark of the Covenant Even Present?

This is a debated point.

Historically:

The Ark has been missing since the Babylonian Destruction of the 1st Temple (-586 BC).

It is not mentioned in the Lists of Temple Items returned under Ezra or Nehemiah.

Even in the 2nd Temple, built by Zerubbabel and later renovated by Herod, there is no record of the Ark being present in the Holy of Holies.

Prophetically:

Jeremiah 3:16 says that they shall say no more, ‘The Ark of the Covenant of the LORD.’ It shall not come to Mind...nor shall it be made anymore.”

Some take this to mean the Ark will never return.

Others interpret this as a Temporary Condition — until the Messianic Age.

Possibility:

If the Ark is rediscovered, it would:

Be a Monumental Religious Event in Judaism.

Provide Spiritual Legitimacy for a rebuilt Temple.

Potentially be placed in the Holy of Holies again — making it available for the Antichrist to profane.

So yes — the Implication is Real: If the Ark is there, the Antichrist’s sitting may involve sitting upon or beside the Mercy Seat — symbolically enthroning himself as ‘GOD’.

4. Theological Symbolism: “Sitting” = Usurping Divine Authority

In Ancient Culture, ‘sitting’ connoted:

Ruling or Judgment (Psalm 9:7, Revelation 20:11–12).

Authority or Enthronement (Psalm 110:1 – ‘Sit at My Right Hand’).

The High Priest never sat in the Holy of Holies — but the Antichrist will, indicating ultimate Blasphemy.

Final Analysis

Aspect  Biblical Significance

Standing where he should not. Intrusion into the Holy of Holies.

Sitting in the Temple.  Usurping divine throne — possibly the Ark if it’s present.

Claiming to be God.  Blasphemous imitation of the Messiah.

Ark involved?  Possibly — if it is rediscovered or reconstructed for Temple worship.

For Lucifer, by Proxy possessing the AntiChrist, to enable Lucifer to sit on the Ark of the Covenant on Earth at the Mid-Point of Daniel’s 70th Week, this Human must be incredible and unique. He will be. Why? Consider that it goes back to Eden. When Lucifer there and then attempted to thwart the Plan of YHVH for Humanity, YHVH pronounced the 3 Curses. The Curses were against Lucifer, Eve and Adam. In the case of Eve, the Curse had a Promise. This was and is the 1st Prophecy.
 

It is based on Genetics as that is the whole Theme and Constitution of Humanity, its DNA, at the Genome Level. YHVH promised Eve that her ‘Seed’, inferring a Virgin and Miraculous Event would destroy Lucifer. But amazingly, assuming Equivalency, that Lucifer’s Seed would cause the Death of Eve’s Seed in the Process. And? This insinuates that as Jesus, as the Promised Christ was Unique, genetically, so will its Anti-Christ Human that Israel and the World will accept.
 

This is to suggest that along the Genetic Line of King David, Lucifer interjected his Seed to have the AntiChrist come about. So, why not have Lucifer sit on the Ark of the Covenant in his Angelic Cherub Form, with his 4 Wings? Consider that he only can mimic YHVH and what GOD the Son did by taking-on a Human Form, i.e., Jesus. As GOD or YHVH is representing being a Human, fused in what is called the Hypostatic Union, so too does Lucifer wish to be enthroned through his Human Offspring, i.e., the AntiChrist.
 

And for this AntiChrist Figure that will only be revealed Post-Rapture, to be willfully adored and worshiped by not only Israel but the entire world, initially, what sort of Powers will have that will be so memorizing? Consider that the Bible qualifies this Popularity as it is backed by ‘Lying Signs and Wonders’, etc. It will be through the Power of Lucifer, through Magic and Sorcery that the AntiChrist, along with the False Prophet will perform Miracles.
 

In one Case, Fire from Heaven will be caused to come down in the Sight of all the World. One conjectures that this will precisely be the Place and Time, where the AntiChrist will initiate the Daily Sacrifices on the newly built Altar of Sacrifice. And how the 3rd Temple is Dedicated as the Law of Moses, the Sinai Covenant is the one that will be Read to Israel and ‘Confirmed’. 

Remember that this AntiChrist Figure will assume the Character of a King Solomon. The Rapture Reset will allow for a World Order to initially unite due to the Psychological Drama caused by Millions having disappeared into Thin Air, literally. The Luciferian Globalist Reset will initially start out as ushering-in World Peace. But according to Jesus, it will be Humanity’s worse Time in its History since Eden.
