Revelation 13:1-2,5 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

A string of luck led him to this position, including reluctant anti-Le Pen vote.

Macron, je suis citoyen brésilien, je n'ai jamais sollicité votre amitié, encore moins ici dans notre pays. Amitié avec les colons qui ne respectent pas la souveraineté nationale des autres pays et qui continuent d'agir en tant que colonisateurs du siècle dernier. Prenez l'amitié que vous dites avoir avec le peuple brésilien, et restez dans le cul! Personne ici ne vous aime, encore moins le manque de respect envers notre pays, notre maison et notre président. Si vous êtes satisfait d'une éventuelle défaite et n'essayez pas de tirer parti de votre élection avec le peuple brésilien, nous avons déjà trop de problèmes avec les hommes politiques comme vous qui sont emprisonnés, voyez Lula.

There is a book from Juan Branco that explains how billionaires (Xavier Niel, Arnaud Lagardère, Bernard Arnault) teamed up to "make" him president. 29 Front Covers of Paris Match
