Is there a prophet in the Old Testament, who married a harlot? Where is that found?
Also,
Does The New Testament tell us that the anti-Christ will appear to pass away, assassinated maybe, but come back to life? That's how we know he's the anti-Christ?
I'll answer the questions to the best of my ability.
Hosea did this and not only that had to pay to get her back after going astray. We also have the lineage of Christ from Rahab known as "the harlot" yet is included in the Hebrews 11 section often colloquially quoted as the "hall of saints". There is yet another incident where Tamar apparently was trying to keep the lineage going so dressed as a harlot and there are other like examples in scripture. The bigger picture is israel and it's spiritual infidelity; but we also see how God can use anyone (He also used Ruth a Gentile who kept the family going with the concept of the "kinsman redeemer" with Boaz.
As to the second question let me quote from Zechariah 11:17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. There are other passages that show that this indeed is the Antichrist seen in Revelation 12 or the Beast that rises from the sea along with his counterpart; the false prophet from the land.
I am a premillenial as well a pretribulation rapture believer (with some further details I won't get into now). The event therefore shouldn't be something we will see; however we could see someone perhaps ahead of the confirming of the covenant; likely initiated with the Abraham accords but expanded and enforced. It would appear that is the first seal of Revelation; and it is in the trumpets when the 2 prophets are killed and there are 2 more woes (likely right before the sixth trumpet); as at that time there will be an appearance of resurrection of Antichrist who will probably offer immortality to the world and convince everyone their stuggle with the 3 and a half years the 2 prophets judged the earth with is over and that he came from the bottomless pit (I suggest that Apollyon then possesses him).
A lot to grasp for now. I can get into more at a later time.

Also yes the anti christ is a real man that appears to have been slain and comes back to life , but it's a lie , probably never died .
