The Pope cannot be the False Prophet because the First Beast hates the Harlot.
The satanic trinity is the devil, the first beast, and the second beast.
The False Prophet is proclaiming that everyone worship the First Beast.
So the False Prophet will also hate the Harlot.
Everyone hates the Harlot including the Devil, the First Beast, the second Beast, and God Himself.

the Beast and the False Prophet work together bringing the entire world under their religious authority, causing a world wide economic boom which last for 2 1/2 years, until the 6th Seal which ends the Tribulation (5th Seal) and ushers in the DAY of the Lord (7th Seal).
by the end of the final year of the 3 1/2, which is the one year, Day of the LORD, everyone is fighting each other.
The false prophet (the pope) performs miraculous things like fire coming down from the sky to bring the whole earth under the Beast's control.
It is when Christ's wrath begins to destroy the entire earth that the Beast, the False Prophet, the 10 kings and the nations of the world start to turn upon each other.
I have been watching for this for almost 60 years -- it is coming and coming fast right now.
One event that should wake up some -- Gold is now $5000.00 and silver is $100
the Beast and the False prophet come out of Europe and Europe is now in deep trouble which must happen so the Beast can rise.
