Wait! I'm uncertain as to why you're sharing that verse from John 4. Are you attributing that verse to a coming antichrist?
I am trying to point out the word Christ, the Jews equated with "the" messiah. "the" messiah in biblical background is the promised great King of Israel descended from David.
When Jesus was crucified, the religious leaders mocked him, saying,
Mark 15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
jgr was challenge me about the antichrist being a prince as in the prince who shall come. To do that, it is necessary to note the comparison between Jesus and the antichrist in a way that would put the antichrist as the one who confirms the covenant for 7 years.
Jesus is considered a prince in the bible and also is the Christ, the messiah, which that function is to be the King of Israel, that God promised; that is to say coming in the name of the Lord.
The antichrist is a person the Jews will embrace as the messiah and will be anointed the King of Israel (anti) instead of and against Jesus the rightful King of Israel.
So being the King of Israel, albeit not the person God intends to be the King of Israel, one of the requirements is to confirm the Mt. Sinai covenant for 7 years, by reading the law to the nation of Israel.
There is actually a term for that requirement.
Hakhel - Wikipedia
The term
Hakhel (Hebrew הקהל) refers to a biblical
commandment of assembling all Jewish men, women and children, as well as "strangers" to assemble and
hear the reading of the Torah by the king of Israel once every seven years.[1]

One of the common mistake is to refer to the Antichrist person as the Antichrist in a blanket fashion. For example, people will say "the Antichrist" for times when the person is the beast and no longer the
Antichrist - King of Israel, coming in his own name. They should be saying the beast person. Or little horn person.
