📢 Forum Update - Hello everyone! I've made an improvement to the forum that should make following active discussions much easier. Beginning today, forum topics will display the most recent replies first (while keeping the original topic post at the top), so you no longer have to navigate through multiple pages to find the latest conversation. This change also helps improve the browsing experience in long-running discussions with many pages of replies. If you notice anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly or have any feedback, please let me know. — Richard G. I have often wondered this myself. Reason being, the Jews would only accept a Jewish messiah, right? I mean, from all I have studied, it makes sense that they will not accept a gentile as their messiah... so I would think it would have to be someone who has a claim to being Jewish. That doesn't necessarily mean that they have to living in Israel since there are still more Jews living abroad than in Israel; however, it does make one wonder about the AC's genetic makeup. I have read of others who are convinced that the AC will be Arab, but again, I find this incredibly difficult to believe because the Jews would not accept an Arab as their messiah. Knowing how satan is such a good mimic (though creates a poor representation of Godly things), I can see how he would try to create his AC that mirrors Jesus' birth and heritage or look very "Jesus-like."
