That wasn't who he was talking about. The Catholic church would have egg all over their face when Jesus returns to prove them wrong on where the next kingdom takes place.

Jesus said him they rejected but they will embrace another true that is to be to my understanding the first.3.5 yrs of the trib.
Whether he is seen as their messiah remans suspect.
Let's not kid ourselves. There are going to be a lot of people who think they are Christian who are going to fall into the same trap.

But you have already accepted an earthly prophet, priest, king, sacrifice and temple.
In what sense are you not already in that trap?
Maybe you should review John 19 and Romans 11 again.
John 19:37 - And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
John 19:37 and Romans 11 correlate thematically by linking the physical piercing of Jesus to the future national salvation of Israel. John 19:37 quotes Zechariah 12:10, prophesying that Israel will one day look upon the one they pierced with mourning and repentance.
Romans 11 expands on this by describing a future "fullness of the Gentiles" followed by the salvation of "all Israel," fulfilling the hope of national restoration. Both passages present the piercing of the Messiah not just as a historical execution, but as the catalyst for a future spiritual awakening and turning to God by the Jewish people.
Revelation 1:7 - Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

I won't be the one fooled by the Anti-Christ because I know what the scriptures say.

Judisim says he must be a direct descendant of king David line. Now you and I know that we speculate who it might be but never heard of it to be Jewish.
LOL! I know the rumors, but always looked at them as more of a False Prophet than the Anti-Christ.

I won't be fooled because I will not be on the earth at the time he is revealed. And neither will you.
However it is likely that @Beekeeper will be around to figure it all out ex post facto. I mean he repudiates and denies the doctrine of the rapture every time it crops up right?
There is no discussion of a national restoration in R.11.
Paul predicts a Christian revival of a Jewish remnant living in his "present time".
Why should I not consider that he was referring to the revival that happened after he wrote the letter, i.e. before 70 AD?
But the scriptures also say "what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God" (2 Cor.6:16).
There is no violation more direct and literal to that than the building of a "third" temple out of stone.
If Paul or an angel from heaven were to have agreement with that it would still be idolatry in the most direct sense.
Yet it seems that you actually have agreement with all of that.
You will not need to be fooled by Antichrist, because you are completely fooled already.
Study the trial of Jesus then look at the scripture that say he was cut short. And come to know the seat of Moses.
One of the worst things to happen to the church was to separate from the Jews. Very few people study there beliefs and way of thinking.
Jesus Christ was sentenced to death for blasphemy, can you tell me why? According to scripture it's a unpardonable sin.
Jesus was also rejected as their messiah can you tell me why. Or anyone else here, if so without Google or A.I.
If you can you or whomever you are better than most.
Most people look into the Christian view of the gospels. The gospels are very Jewish.
This might be the first time here that some never knew that the jews also believe the Messiah must come from the line of David.
But how many theologians point to this when or even think of this when they think of anti christ where he would come out of.
So yes suspect that jews see anti-Christ as messiah, un known.
I take that question on a case by case basis,
But there are many, so the answer is long.
The biggest one-time Christian revival of the Jews that I know about happened in the first century.
Your memory is really short because it has been discussed countless times in this thread.
You need to read Romans 11 again:
Romans 11:26
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Read your own words again carefully....
"what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?"
We currently are the temple of the living God UNTIL He returns.

I think we are talking about two different groups of people here, but to answer your question, the Bible makes it pretty clear that it was God's plan for the Jews to reject Jesus so that salvation could come primarily through the Gentiles first (as the second born) before He comes back to bless a remnant of the Jews (the first born). In the Jewish world, they always put so much emphasis on giving all of their inheritance to their first born, when God/Jesus mostly (not always) chose to use the second born to carry out His blessing and promises (ie Isaac over Ishmael, Jacob over Esau, etc.)
Excuse me for using A.I. to explain this in more detail and more thoroughly:
The biblical emphasis on the firstborn stems from ancient Near Eastern customs where the eldest son received a double portion of inheritance and served as the family's leader and priest (Deuteronomy 21:17; Genesis 49:3). In the Torah, this status required consecration to God, leading to the pidyon haben ritual where firstborn sons were symbolically redeemed from divine ownership (Exodus 13:2). Israel itself is designated God’s "firstborn" (Exodus 4:22) to signify its privileged covenantal relationship and preeminence among nations.
Jesus and the New Testament writers use the "second born over first born" theme (seen in figures like Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph) to illustrate that spiritual blessing is determined by divine election and faith, not biological priority. This pattern highlights that the younger or chosen line often carries the covenant promise, challenging traditional expectations of birthright. Theologically, this signifies that Christians are the "second born" or spiritual offspring who inherit the blessing through grace, while Jesus is termed the "firstborn of all creation" (Colossians 1:15) to denote his supreme authority and preeminence rather than literal birth order.
