For a man who had aspired to rule like the Roman god Jupiter, the pandemic has left Emmanuel Macron and his vision of a multilateral world order in tatters and his own leadership back in France in question.

This is exciting, now we get to see just what Emmanuel Macron is really made up of, and how he does or does not rebound from this current setback will show us if our previous assessment of his astonishing similarities to the biblical Antichrist were well founded or misplaced. Remember one thing, though, Adolf Hitler was looking like the Antichrist right up to the moment they put him in jail where everyone said his days were over. But they were just getting started. Quo vadis, Emmanuel Macron, quo vadis?

“Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle. And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.” Daniel 11:20,21 (KJB)

Emmanuel Macron has repeatedly likened himself to the Roman god Jupiter, which is a very telling comparison if one is aware of ancient Rome and their oppression of the Jews in Israel. In 132 AD, the Bar-Kochba revolt against Rome took place because the Romans had erected a statue of their god Jupiter right on the Temple Mount. If Macron sees himself as Jupiter then that only further cements his standing as leader in the end times Antichrist sweepstakes.

“That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” Acts 1:25 (KJB)

I will be watching with an extremely high interest level as Emmanuel Macron attempts to dig himself out of this hole, and restore his former glory. I am rooting for him to do just that. He’s come all the way out of his own place for such a time as this, and failure is not an option.

The Humbling of Emmanuel Macron

FROM BLOOMBERG: Just four months ago, with the gardens of his Elysee Palace in the background, the youngest French head of state since Napoleon boasted that the country “hasn’t known such energy in years.” With re-election two years away, he vowed his plans to cut taxes and reduce red tape would put France at the heart of a reinvigorated European Union.

Today, such confidence seems a world away after his struggle to get a grip on the coronavirus epidemic left Macron damaged at home and abroad.

The EU’s second-biggest economy registered its first case of Covid-19 in January but for weeks the government insisted that wearing a facemask was useless for the public, even as the disease coursed through French society. Macron didn’t impose a lockdown until March, when Italy and Spain had already shuttered most businesses. In a dramatic U-turn, the government is now encouraging people to wear masks when venturing outdoors.

One official in his office, speaking on condition of anonymity, acknowledged the government fumbled its response in the early stages, but insisted it has the situation under control now. Government spokeswoman Sibeth Ndiaye told Europe 1 radio Friday that the policy on masks had evolved along with the scientific advice. A press officer at the Elysee declined to comment.

As the death toll in France climbed past 25,000, the president’s dithering was in stark contrast to Angela Merkel’s sober, methodical approach next door in Germany.

Macron had seemed to eclipse the German chancellor when he burst onto the stage in 2017, with Beethoven’s Ode to Joy, the European anthem, at his election-night rally. But as France tries to return to a new kind of normality with the tentative reopening of its economy on Monday, it’s piling up debt while Merkel has fiscal reserves to spare. Put simply, France will struggle to spend its way out the recession in the same way as its neighbor.

CLICK TO SEE WHAT EMMANUEL MACRON HAS BEEN UP TO

For a politician who’s gone toe-to-toe with Donald Trump and urged the EU to stand up to China, the scale of the crisis and his own role in it has forced a degree of introspection. As he said in one of several televised statements in April, “it’s a moment to start again from scratch.”

A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it was too early to say who had handled the crisis better and pointed to France’s successes, such as treating its gravest cases in hospitals and coordinating with international allies on a vaccine conference.

With his approval ratings slipping, Macron himself has also recognized that his administration fell short. “Were we prepared for this crisis? Obviously, not enough,’’ he said last month. “This moment, let’s be honest, has revealed cracks.’’

For Philippe Maniere, president of crisis management consultancy Vae Solis, Macron’s making a political calculation. “He needs to change course to get back on his feet — he’s being tactical,” he said. Even before the crisis there were signs that Macron might have to adjust his approach, with his lectures on everything from Iran to climate change at global summits failing to produce results, despite the personal chemistry he seemed to enjoy with the U.S. president.

Macron couldn’t persuade Trump to stick with the Paris Climate Agreement, failed to keep the U.S. in the Iran nuclear deal or indeed stop it undermining the World Trade Organization. When Macron pursued a coordinated international push for a coronavirus vaccine, it became clear the U.S. was out for itself. White House tariff threats meanwhile forced the French president to suspend his plans to tax internet giants like Google and Amazon.com Inc. on their revenue from France.

At home, his first wobble came after the Yellow Vest protests – a movement sparked by a hike in gasoline taxes but fundamentally driven by anger at economic injustice and perceptions of the president’s at times arrogant manner. The seeds were sown as far back as 2018, when he ruffled feathers with a video that went viral of him scolding a teenager for not addressing him as “Mr. President” and spoke to the nation about inequality from a gold desk.

Outside France, his demand for EU reform had become increasingly shrill as opponents like the Dutch and the Austrians stonewalled his calls for tighter integration or, when he did win support for a euro-area budget, diluted his original proposals to the point of irrelevance.

All this meant that when disaster struck, his political capital was running low. With his handling of the virus coming under fire in France, his credibility with EU partners was further weakened and calls for joint euro-area bond issuance to fund the economic recovery were easily brushed off. His fall-back proposal of grants from an EU fund has fared little better so far.

Macron’s warnings that the EU risks collapse if the Dutch don’t accept his demands grow more hollow with each repetition.

Perhaps expectations were too great when he came to power in the aftermath of Trump’s shocking election victory and the Brexit referendum, promising a progressive renewal for France and Europe. Perhaps he was guilty of fueling those expectations with his pre-election talk of how France wanted its president to be god-like. But the impression among some European officials now is, ‘who is he to tell us what to do’?

If Macron is realizing that he may never strike the grand bargain he wants for Europe, disenchantment with the political prodigy set in even sooner back home.

Like most world leaders, Macron initially failed to grasp the dangers of Covid-19 and as March’s municipal elections approached with Italy and then Spain in lockdown, calls mounted for the ballot to be delayed.

But Macron feared that would expose him to political attacks, so the vote went ahead, potentially exposing thousands of people to infection. A day later, the president who had vowed to rein in the state, announced 300 billion euros of government loan guarantees and halted his economic reforms. The government made clear it wouldn’t hesitate to take equity stakes in companies if necessary and the state is paying more than half the private sector workforce to stay home.

Far-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon attacked Macron for stealing his policy ideas. It’s an ironic political journey for Macron, the son of a doctor from northern France who studied at one of most prestigious institutions in Paris and worked as Rothschild & Co. investment banker. He’s spent more than a decade honing his world view among the educated, Parisian elites before he came to power promising to make France a “start-up nation” by paring back the role of the state and courting foreign investors.

But the truth is that Macron is grasping for a new identity. The Jupiter-like stance he’d envisaged before his election just an embarrassing memory. READ MORE

The Two Biggest Players In The Middle East Are Mohammed bin Salman And Emmanuel Macron Who Together Will Decide The Fate Of Hamas And Gaza

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Emmanuel Macron of France and Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia are working on a proposal to disarm Hamas terrorists, paving the way for its demobilization, and create a state of Palestine

The official title of the upcoming event at the United Nations in June is ‘High-level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution’. Wow, that’s a mouthful, but it’s gets chewier. The two people co-chairing this end times event are none other than Emmanuel Macron of France and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. Together these men will use all their considerable power and influence to will a state of Palestine into existence. In the meantime, these same two people have a revolutionary plan for Hamas, turn it into a political party and give them real power. And the hits just keep coming, that’s the memo.

“And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.” Daniel 11:22 (KJB)

When Adolf Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany in 1933, it seemed to many like it happened quite quickly, like he appeared from nowhere overnight. But in reality, his ascendancy to power was over 12 years in the making, much of it behind the scenes. That’s what we are seeing now, after years of unseen power shifts it would appear the end game is in sight, a state of Palestine. When Donald Trump went to Saudi Arabia last week, he imbued upon Mohammed bin Salman a level of political capital and creditability the crown prince had not know before. Now bin Salman is looking to spend some of that capital with his good buddy Emmanuel Macron, as they together decide the fate of Hamas and Gaza and the state of Palestine. What could possibly go wrong?

France, Saudis seek to disarm Hamas, keep it as political entity

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Saudi officials have reportedly been in contact with Hamas leadership as part of the efforts, the sources stated, adding that it is unclear if France has also been in direct contact, especially as the European Union recognizes Hamas as a terror organization.

According to the sources, allowing Hamas to “retain a degree of political power would make it more likely to accept disarming,” and the objective of the talks is to transform Hamas into a “purely political entity that can still play some role in future Palestinian governance.”

Yesterday, we gathered to recognize the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians since 1948.

For 77 years, the unresolved conflict has been on the agenda of the General Assembly.

This is far too long.

Reports have also indicated that there have been growing strains between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and French President Emmanuel Macron over France’s attempts to get more countries to recognize a Palestinian state.

The United Nations conference in New York, where this recognition is likely to occur, is being co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia.

On Tuesday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said that Israel’s easing of humanitarian aid access to Gaza is “totally insufficient… Immediate and massive aid is needed.”

Leaders of Britain, France, and Canada stated on Monday that they oppose Israel’s ongoing military presence in Gaza and the expansion of settlements in the West Bank and that they may take action. Hamas welcomed the statement, “rejecting the policy of siege and starvation pursued by the occupation government against our people in the Gaza Strip, and the Zionist plans aimed at genocide and displacement.”

Earlier in May, Macron had said that Benjamin Netanyahu’s policy in Gaza, where half a million people are allegedly facing starvation, was shameful and that Europeans should consider increasing sanctions. READ MORE

Emmanuel Macron Issues Joint Statement From France, The United Kingdom And Canada Demanding Immediate Palestinian Two State Solution In Gaza

Emmanuel Macron issues joint statement between France, United Kingdom and Canada calling for the immediate implementation of Two State Solution in Gaza

If you listened to our Podcast today, then you know that everyone is doing what they’re supposed to be doing regarding the end times. Pope Leo XIV is busy creating a Revived Roman Empire, Donald Trump is helping to create a United States of Islam in the Middle East, and Emmanuel Macron is busy doing what the MOS is supposed to do, create a Palestinian state in Gaza on God’s land. Macron issued a stunning statement today, and you can read it in its entirety below. That’s the memo.

“I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” Joel 3:2 (KJB)

Not only is Emmanuel Macron going to nearly single-handedly bring in a Palestinian State, the help he has enlisted is also quite noteworthy. President Donald Trump, fresh off his $2.3 trillion dollar bonanza in the Middle East has already promised clandestine support for the Two State Solution. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a huge advocate for a Palestinian State is going to co-chair this event with Macron at the UN in June. Since 2017, NTEB has been calling for Emmanuel Macron to be revealed as the biblical man of sin, and mark your calendars, this June he just may do it. And here’s a fun fact: the UN Two State Conference takes place on the last four days of Spring…TO THE FLIGHT!!!

Emmanuel Macron release joint statement by the leaders of France, the United Kingdom and Canada on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank

This is the official Joint Statement taken directly from the Elysee site in Paris.

FROM THE ELYSEE: We strongly oppose the expansion of Israeli military operations in Gaza. The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable. Israel’s announcement yesterday to allow a minimal amount of food into the Gaza Strip is completely insufficient. We call on the Israeli government to halt its military operations in Gaza and immediately allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. This must include engagement with the United Nations to ensure the resumption of aid deliveries in accordance with humanitarian law. We call on Hamas to immediately release the remaining hostages it has so cruelly held since October 7, 2023.

Nous nous opposons fermement à l’extension des opérations militaires israéliennes à Gaza. Le niveau de souffrance humaine est intolérable.

Dans la perspective de la conférence du 18 juin à New York, nous devons tous travailler à la mise en œuvre de la solution à deux États.…

— Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) May 19, 2025

The Israeli government’s refusal to provide essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable and risks violating international humanitarian law. We condemn the abhorrent language recently used by members of the Israeli government and the threat of forced displacement of civilians facing the desperate destruction in Gaza. Permanent forced displacement is a violation of international humanitarian law. Israel suffered a horrific attack on October 7. We have always supported Israel’s right to defend its people against terrorism. But this escalation is completely disproportionate.

We will not stand idly by while the Netanyahu government continues these outrageous actions. If Israel does not halt the new military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete steps in response.

We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank. Israel must end settlements, which are illegal and undermine the viability of a Palestinian state and the security of Israelis and Palestinians. We will not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions.

We strongly support the efforts of the United States, Qatar, and Egypt to secure an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Only a ceasefire, the release of all remaining hostages, and a long-term political solution offer the best hope of ending the agony of the hostages and their families, alleviating the suffering of civilians in Gaza, ending Hamas’s control over Gaza, and paving the way for a two-state solution, in line with the objectives of the June 18 conference in New York, co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France. These negotiations must succeed, and we must all work toward implementing a two-state solution, as the only way to bring about the lasting peace and security that Israelis and Palestinians deserve and ensure long-term stability in the region.

We will continue to work with the Palestinian Authority, regional partners, Israel, and the United States to reach consensus on arrangements for the future of Gaza, building on the Arab plan. We affirm the important role of the high-level conference on the two-state solution to be held at the United Nations in June in building international consensus around this goal. We are committed to recognizing a Palestinian state as a contribution to achieving a two-state solution and stand ready to work with others to this end. READ MORE

Emmanuel Macron Says That European Union Should Reconsider Ties With Israel Over Gaza As Netanyahu Accuses Him Of Supporting Hamas

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a blistering condemnation of French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday, accusing him of siding with Hamas following his sharp criticism of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.

Emmanuel Macron is doing exactly what you’d expect someone to do who just might be the biblical man of sin, he takes a consistent and ongoing position against the nation of Israel, and for their enemies, in this case Hamas. Macron went so far this time as to say that the European Union should cut Israel off from trade relations. Over in Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu issued a necessary rebuke of Macron. Round and round she goes, where she stops only God knows. That’s the end times, and that’s the memo.

“And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.” 2 Chronicles 20:29 (KJB)

The situation in Gaza is bleak, and bad, and it doesn’t look like it will get better any time soon, and that’s the reality. But make no mistake, it’s one of the realities of war, and Israel is determined not to make the same mistake they made last time in underestimating Gaza’s appetite to support terrorists. My heart breaks for the innocents caught in the crossfire, but it also breaks for the 1,200 Israelis slaughtered on October 7th in 2023. I will stand with the Jews, with Israel, and that’s with the full knowledge that they are God’s chosen people, Israel God’s holy land, and Jerusalem His holy city. Am Yisrael Chai.

Netanyahu accuses Macron of ‘despicable’ support for Hamas

FROM ISRAEL HAYMON: “Macron has once again chosen to stand with a murderous Islamist terrorist organization and echo its despicable propaganda, accusing Israel of blood libels. Israel is engaged in a multi-front war for its very existence following the horrific massacre committed by Hamas against innocent people on October 7, including the murder and kidnapping of dozens of French nationals. Instead of supporting the Western democratic camp fighting the Islamist terrorist organizations and calling for the release of the hostages, Macron is once again demanding that Israel surrender and reward terrorism,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement. .

The harsh rebuke from Jerusalem followed Macron’s interview with TF1 television, where the French leader delivered some of his strongest criticisms yet of Israel’s military operations. “What the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is doing is unacceptable… There is no water, no medicine, the wounded cannot get out, the doctors cannot get in. What he is doing is shameful,” Macron told TF1.

In his televised remarks highlighted, Macron suggested that leverage from Washington would be necessary to influence Israeli policy. “We need the United States. President (Donald) Trump has the levers. I have had tough words with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I got angry, but they (Israel) don’t depend on us, they depend on American weapons,” he said.

The French president referenced his personal observations at the Egypt-Gaza border, reported, where he witnessed that “all the aid that France and other countries deliver” is “blocked by the Israelis.” This firsthand account has been refuted by Israel. “This is an unacceptable humanitarian tragedy,” Macron declared in comments published by. He noted that “it is not up to a president of the republic to say ‘this is a genocide’ but rather to historians.”

Netanyahu’s statement noted that “Israel will not stop and will not surrender. Prime Minister Netanyahu is determined to accomplish all of Israel’s war goals, including the release of all our hostages, destroy Hamas’s military and governance capabilities and ensure that Gaza will never again pose a threat to Israel.”

Macron indicated potential consequences for bilateral relations, as reported he mentioned exploring revisions to European Union cooperation agreements with Israel. The French president emphasized his commitment to action, stating: “My job is to do everything I can to make it stop… the humanitarian crisis (in Gaza) is the most serious we have known” since October 7, 2023.
