This question makes absolutely no sense (even grammatically) would you please re-phrase it?

Probably referring to "a shape with lion body and the head of a man", which we can infer describes the Great Sphinx (Egypt), waking up "is moving its slow thighs" and bringing about a change..

But if you look at the line before "slouches towards Bethlehem to be born", you can see it is talking about some "rough beast" - a new leader? messiah?

Slouching towards Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, could then refer to the rise of a new religious leader.

Why is it significant that the sphinx is going to Bethlehem and why is slouching toward it?

The significance of the Sphinx going to Bethlehem in literature, particularly in the context of the poem "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" by W.B. Yeats, symbolizes a powerful and ominous force moving toward a pivotal moment of transformation or rebirth. The Sphinx, often associated with mystery and enigma, represents the chaos and uncertainty of the modern world. Its "slouching" suggests a sense of inevitability and decline, indicating that humanity is moving toward a significant but troubling new era, reflecting Yeats' concerns about cultural and moral decay in the 20th century.
