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!

“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 (KJB)

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.

Students 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 (KJB)

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!!
