Hello to everyone. Perhaps this has been posted before but I want to know what is the great strength of this theory and why it deserve to be taken seriously above all others

How about evidence supporting the premises of an argument leading to the conclusion that God exists?

The future antichrist will be a Syrian, just like his predecessor, Antiochus Epiphanes.
What I want to know from you is - what is your bible verse(s) that you are basing your view of there being a forthcoming ultra-orthodox Jewish messiah fulfilling a role in the end times?
I have asked you this question multiple times. How about an answer.

. . . the career progression of the Antichrist.

Dan 9:26a, 11:22-23a.
Dan. 9:26's original Hebrew word (karath, H3772) translated as "cut off" can refer to when a peace treaty/covenant is "made" (Gen. 21:27). The 1st century fulfillment of Dan. 9:26a was at the Crucifixion, when the true Messiah (Jesus) made the New Covenant (Mt. 26:28, Heb. 9:15-17), which covenant was the 1st century fulfillment of the covenant in Dan. 9:27. The future fulfillment of Dan. 9:26a will be when the AC makes a peace treaty, which will be the future fulfillment of the covenant in Dan. 9:27 & the league in Dan. 11:23, with a future ultra-Orthodox Jewish (false) Messiah in Jerusalem, after he & his followers are defeated by the AC (Dan. 11:22-23). So the future fulfillment of Dan. 9:26a can refer to this false Messiah being "cut off" in the sense of being "covenanted", i.e. peace-treatied.
The Antichrist won't claim to be a Savior from our Sins messiah like Jesus. But he will be embraced (in grave error) by the Jews as their promised great King of Israel messiah, the messiah type the Jews are looking for.The AC won't ever claim to be the Messiah/Christ, for his antichrist denial that Christ is in the flesh (1 Jn. 4:3) will disqualify him as a mortal-flesh human (under his mistaken Gnostic doctrine) from being Christ.
It has none, for the Antichrist (the AC) (the individual-man aspect of the beast), during his future, literal 3.5-year worldwide reign (Rev. 13:5-18), won't support Islam (in its past & current form), insofar as Islam affirms that Jesus is the Christ (e.g. Koran 4:157, 4:171), whereas the AC will deny that Jesus is the Christ (1 Jn. 2:22). And Islam affirms that Christ is in the flesh, whereas the AC (like the Gnostics) will deny that Christ is in the flesh (2 Jn. 1:7). And Islam affirms that the God of the Bible (YHWH) is the true God, whereas the AC (like the Gnostics) will utterly revile YHWH (Rev. 13:6, Dan. 11:36). And Islam affirms that no man can be God, whereas the AC will say he's God (2 Thes. 2:4, Dan. 11:36). And Islam forbids the worship of any images (Koran 21:52, 6:74), whereas the AC will have an image made of himself to be worshipped (Rev. 13:15). And Islam rejects Satan/Lucifer as being evil, whereas the AC will bring the world into the worship of Lucifer (the dragon) (Rev. 13:4, 12:9). So the AC's religion during his 3.5-year worldwide reign won't be Islam in its past & current form, but a blend of Luciferianism & Gnosticism.
Nonetheless, before Lucifer gives the AC power over all nations (Rev. 13:4-7), the AC & the man who'll be his False Prophet (Rev. 19:20) (who could be a future, apostate pope), could at 1st pretend to wholly support Islam in its current form (as well as Christianity), in order to start gaining a worldwide following.

Also, the 7 heads of the beast in its empire aspect (Rev. 13:1, 17:3) represent 7 empires (Rev. 17:9-10): Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, & (possibly) Islam. The first 5 had fallen by the time of John in the 1st century AD: "five are fallen" (Rev. 17:10, 1:1b-2). The 6th (Rome) existed at the time of John: "one is" (Rev. 17:10). The 7th (possibly Islam) had not come by the time of John: "the other is not yet come" (Rev. 17:10). The empire of the Antichrist (the AC) (the individual-man aspect of the beast) will be a different, still-future, 8th head (Rev. 17:11), which will be a revival of 1 of the 5 empires which had fallen by the time of John (Rev. 17:8,10-11). It could be a revival of the empire of Babylon. The AC may claim to be Nebuchadnezzar returned, and so reinstitute the system that Nebuchadnezzar set up whereby everyone had to worship an image or be killed (Dan. 3, Rev. 13:15).
And the AC could make his world capital in the rebuilt city of Babylon (in Iraq), & build a main temple to himself (& Lucifer/Satan) there. For a temple to "wickedness" will be built in Shinar (Babylonia) (Zech. 5:8,11), & the AC is called "that Wicked" (2 Thes. 2:8). He may also claim to be Nimrod (the founder of Babylon: Gen. 10:8-10), & Hammurabi, & Asoka, et al. For the AC may claim he's had many different "past lives" as different human rulers.
The caliphate will happen under the 12th imam Mahadi , uniting Islam and starting the slaughter of Christians .
