In Rome, explosive accusations swirl that French president Emmanuel Macron is working behind the scenes to influence election of next pope at Conclave of Cardinals

Like a train that is never late, our choice for biblical man of sin Emmanuel Macron is right now over in Rome and, according to the media, working furiously behind the scenes to influence the election of the next Roman pope at the Conclave of the College of Cardinals. Makes perfect sense when you read Revelation 13 and understand the relationship between the Antichrist and the False Prophet.

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” Revelation 13:11,12 (KJB)

Like we have said many times, and will say again here, it is only our opinion that Emmanuel Macron is the biblical man of sin, we make a strong case for it but would never teach it as doctrine. That said, if Macron is not the Man of Sin, it’s just the biggest coincidence in the world that he attempts to fulfill that role each and every chance he gets. Back in 2020, we showed you how Pope Francis gave Macron his blessing to take global control curing the Pandemic, and became the worldwide thought leader when it came to the vaccines and COVID passports. Pope Francis was closer to Emmanuel Macron than he was to any other world leader, and no doubt, Macron is right now working to carry out the orders the now-deceased Pontifex Maximus gave him concerning a successor.

Row erupts in Rome as Emmanuel Macron accused of ‘wanting to choose the pope’ at Cardinal Conclave

FROM EXPRESS UK: Emmanuel Macron has been accused of trying to “choose the next pope”, with right-wing newspapers in Italy alleging the French president is attempting to manoeuvre behind the scenes ahead of the conclave on May 7. The row erupted after reports of two private meetings involving Mr Macron and key Vatican figures, prompting claims of “interventionism worthy of a modern Sun King”, in a reference to former French monarch Louis XIV.

Emmanuel Macron has been accused by Italian media of attempting to influence the election of the next pope at the current Conclave. Sounds about right to me. The man of sin handpicking the false prophet? Oh yeah. pic.twitter.com/seI4CRWTuv

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) May 3, 2025

The French president on April 26 hosted a lunch at the French embassy in Rome with four of the five French cardinal electors, including Cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline, Archbishop of Marseille, widely seen as a potential frontrunner. The following evening, Mr Macron was spotted dining at a restaurant in Piazza del Popolo with Andrea Riccardi, founder of the influential Sant’Egidio Catholic movement. The group, known for its ties to the late Pope Francis and progressive positions on issues such as immigration, has longstanding links with Mr Macron — and has become a lightning rod for conservative critics in Italy.

La Verità, a daily newspaper close to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government, said: “It’s not enough for him to lecture Europe. Macron even wants to choose the pope.”

Libero described the meetings as “Macron crashing the conclave,” while Il Tempo said his behaviour recalled the excesses of Louis XIV. While no official Vatican comment has been made, the speculation has zeroed in on candidates said to align with the French president’s world view — including Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, Archbishop of Bologna and President of the Italian Episcopal Conference.

Papal Conclave: Macron Accused of Meddling in Papal Conclave to Push French Cardinal for Next Pope?

French President Emmanuel Macron is under scrutiny for allegedly trying to sway the upcoming papal conclave in favor of French cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline. Conservative Italian outlets claim Macron met with key Vatican figures to boost Aveline’s candidacy. While some label it a diplomatic power play to restore influence with the Holy See, others dismiss it as rumor. The conclave, set for May 7, will see 135 cardinals vote to elect Pope Francis’ successor. The Elysee and Catholic groups deny interference, but suspicion continues to swirl in Rome and beyond.

Sam Altman is opening six flagship ‘World ID’ U.S. retail locations where people can sign up to have their eyeball scanned with ORB: Austin, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Nashville, Miami and San Francisco.

Here’s how it works: You go up to an Orb, a spherical biometric device, and it spends about 30 seconds scanning your face and iris, then creates and stores a unique “IrisCode” for you verifying that you’re a human and that you’ve never signed up before. Then you get some of the project’s cryptocurrency, WLD, for free, and you can use your World ID as a sign-in with integrated platforms, which currently include an open API integration with Minecraft, Reddit, Telegram, Shopify and Discord. Habakkuk to the Courtesy Counter, Habakkuk to the Courtesy Counter please, your prophecy is now ready. And that’s the memo.

“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)

I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love.

I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures.  I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to.  I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too.  You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture.  Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart.
