Pope Leo XIV’s Landmark AI Encyclical With Anthropic Co-Founder Shows Rome Moving To Shape The Digital Future As Daniel’s Revived Roman Empire Rises
Pope Leo XIV has just placed the Vatican squarely in the center of the artificial intelligence revolution, releasing his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, on “safeguarding the human person in the time of Artificial Intelligence.” The Vatican announced the document for May 25, 2026, and tied its signing to the anniversary of Leo XIII’s 1891 social encyclical Rerum Novarum, the Roman Catholic response to the Industrial Revolution. But one thing is crystal clear as these news reports are coming in, the Revived Roman Empire is coming online and it will do it through Artificial Intelligence. Is this how the False Prophet pope will make an image of the Beast, through AI? Buckle up, Christian, the game is afoot!
Here is where the story leaves ordinary religion and enters the realm of Bible prophecy. Pope Leo is not launching this AI manifesto alone. The Vatican event includes Christopher Olah, a co-founder of Anthropic, one of the major companies shaping the AI systems that are now being woven into government, labor, warfare, surveillance, education, economics and global policy. That is not just a headline, that’s a screaming five-alarm fire. The pope is presenting Rome as the moral voice that must guide the machine age, and Big Tech is sitting at the table. The Associated Press reports that Pope Leo called for robust regulation of AI, warning that its developers must serve the common good rather than profit, and that AI is reshaping everything from work to war.
Fun Fact: the word “anthropic” comes from the Greek word “anthropos”, meaning “human”. Since AI is the opposite of something we would call human, this can only refer to transhumanism which is exactly what’s in play here. Listen to what Pope Leo XIV said this morning as he launched his takeover of AI.
The final Roman system is not merely European politics, it is the beast system. It devours the whole earth. It is global in appetite, technological in reach, religious in justification and political in enforcement. Artificial intelligence is not the Beast, but one of the tools by which the Beast system gains unprecedented reach into every corner of human life. Rome is positioning itself as the conscience of the AI age, and Big Tech and the Tech Titans are lending credibility to that platform. The nations are looking for a framework. The masses are being trained to accept digital mediation in every area of life. And Bible prophecy told us thousands of years ago that a revived Roman kingdom would arise at the end, strong as iron, yet mixed with miry clay.
This is where we are on Day 2,261 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve…TO THE FIGHT!!

“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJV)

BREAKING NEWS: Stunning news coming out of the Vatican today as Pope Leo XIV has agreed to partner with Anthropic AI to move artificial intelligence forward with the Catholic Church as a major player. Revived Roman Empire coming up…. “When ye therefore shall see the abomination… pic.twitter.com/x2JBZ14XPcStudents of Bible prophecy should not miss what is happening here. Daniel saw the final form of Gentile world power as a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, but in its last stage mixed with clay. That fourth kingdom was Rome, and its final prophetic appearance is not ancient Rome in sandals and Caesars, but a revived Roman system — political, religious, economic and global. Pope Leo XIV is the one that God is going to use to finally put that system into place! We will take a deep-dive, Lord willing, on all this on our Wednesday Podcast.

“And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.” Daniel 2:42-43 (KJV)

Harbinger’s Daily
By Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF): In classrooms across the globe, a quiet yet burgeoning campaign is underway to shape what children as young as 5 are taught about sex, relationships, and their own bodies. It is being driven by some of the world’s most influential institutions such as the UN, while parents, legal guardians, and the wider public are kept largely in the dark about what is happening behind school walls.
Comprehensive Sexuality Education, or CSE, was first conceived in the 1960s — the unwanted child, in a sense, of the sexual revolution, as soaring rates of STIs and teenage pregnancies demanded a global response. Until this point, sex education had focused primarily on health, safety, and biology. Since then, however, CSE emerged promoting sexual rights, and consequently, gender ideology and the sexualization of children.
Unsupervised Exposure to Harmful Content
Today, nearly 70 years on, despite substantial resources and investment spurring CSE initiatives, curriculum frameworks have been shown to lack detail on the specifics and depth of the topics to be taught to children, leaving significant discretion and discernment with educators and bypassing parents.

By PNW Staff: For thousands of years, humanity has pursued the same dangerous dream: to transcend its limitations without God.
From the Tower of Babel in Genesis to today's race toward artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and digital immortality, mankind continues chasing the ancient temptation first whispered in the Garden of Eden: "You shall be as gods."
What once sounded like science fiction is now openly discussed by some of the world's most influential technology leaders. Elon Musk continues advancing brain-computer interface technology through Neuralink while warning about the dangers of uncontrolled AI. Meanwhile, Silicon Valley increasingly speaks in language that sounds less scientific and more spiritual.
Terms like "superintelligence," "mind uploading," "digital consciousness," and "human enhancement" are no longer fringe concepts. Billionaires, researchers, and futurists openly discuss conquering death, transcending biology, and creating a post-human future.
That should make people pause.
For most of history, humanity accepted certain realities as unavoidable....

Israel 365 News
By Tamar Stein: A Texas Democratic congressional candidate named Maureen Galindo has called for turning an immigration detention center into a prison where “Zionists” would be castrated.
Galindo, a former sex therapist running in Texas’s 35th Congressional District around San Antonio, posted on Instagram last week that if elected, she would “turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking. (It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists).” She has also demanded treason charges against politicians linked to Israel, accused “Zionist billionaire Jews” of controlling San Antonio, and invoked “the synagogue of Satan” and “all of the Jews who own Hollywood.”
Galindo won a March primary with 29% of the vote and faces runoff opponent Johnny Garcia next week. Democrats scrambled to contain the damage. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene called her comments “extremely dangerous” and “vile.” Representatives Josh Gottheimer and Jared Moskowitz issued a joint statement promising: “If, for some reason, Maureen Galindo wins…as soon as she is sworn in, we will force a vote to expel her every day she is here.” Every Jewish Democratic member of Congress signed onto a joint condemnation calling her rhetoric a call to “put Jews into concentration camps.”
Even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has not hesitated to use inflammatory language about Israel herself, called Galindo’s statements “bigoted garbage and antisemitism.”

By Daniel Greenfield: In 1995, ‘Adam’ Hisham Hamawy testified for the defense in the trial of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman: the Egyptian Islamic terror leader linked to the World Trade Center bombing.
Now, Hamawy is running for Congress in New Jersey while promising to defund the military, abolish ICE, and dismantle the Department of Homeland Security.
Hamawy, an Egyptian Muslim currently working as a plastic surgeon in New Jersey, has been in the news more recently for his Gaza advocacy, demanding that Israel stop its military campaign against Hamas, and in his recent interview with Hasan Piker, a Turkish social media influencer who praised the USSR and defended Hamas, the candidate accused our military of “war crimes”.
Calling the War Department, the “Department of War Crimes”, is at odds with Hamamy’s cultivated pseudo-patriotic image as a military plastic surgeon right down to his signage.
It may however show his true feelings. But where did Hamawy’s hatred for America come from?

End Of The American Dream
By Michael Snyder: How many times have we heard that a peace deal with Iran “is almost finalized” or “could be signed today”? And how many times has it not happened? Sometimes I feel like I am watching a really twisted version of “Groundhog Day” where people wake up each day and decide to believe the same lies over and over again. Iran is never, ever, ever going to sign anything unless it includes an end to fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. But Israel just launched a major military operation against Hezbollah in response to a spike in drone attacks against Israeli targets. If Hezbollah would quit sending drones into Israel, perhaps we could get somewhere, but Iran either can’t or won’t get Hezbollah to stop their terror attacks. So the Israelis plan to “strike them decisively”, and that is going to seriously upset the Iranians. Unless some sort of a miracle causes the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah to stop, a peace deal with Iran is impossible right now.
There is so much confusion about the negotiations that are taking place between the United States and Iran.
First of all, a permanent end to the war is not being negotiated.
What is being negotiated is a 60 day ceasefire extension. During that 60 days, the Strait of Hormuz would be temporarily “reopened” under Iranian management, and U.S. forces would pull back and suspend the blockade of Iranian ports.
