The last thing he sees is Banquo and all his royal descendants. Well, he asked for it.
Macbeth did not like what the witches had told him.
In an apparition, the three witches show Macbeth a bloody child that is meant to symbolize the just-born Macduff.
Malcolm and macduff discuss Macbeth's failure as a leader
There were eight kings of Scotland who were allegedly decended from Fleance, the last being James VI who happened to be king of England when Shakespeare was writing the play.
Hahah suck it
In the fourth vision, the Witches conjure a procession of eight kings, with the last king holding a mirror that reflects even more kings, symbolizing Banquo's royal descendants. This vision reinforces the prophecy that Banquo's line will be kings, adding to Macbeth's paranoia and fear of losing his throne.
No. They show him, or have their spirits show him, Banquo's decendants being kings.

Lady Macbeth found out about the prophecy from her husband, Macbeth, after he shared it with her upon returning from meeting the witches. This prophecy ignited her ambition and fueled her desire for power.
She doesn't. She says, "How did you dare to trade and traffic with Macbeth in riddles and affairs of death, and I the mistress of your charms, was never call'd to bear my part or show the glory of our art?" In other words she's cheesed off that the other witches went ahead without giving her a piece of the action. She doesn't care about Macbeth or Banquo one way or the other.
The witches showed Macbeth three apparitions: an armed head, a bloody child, and a child with a crown on his head. The first apparition warned Macbeth of Macduff, the second assured him of his invincibility until Birnam Wood moved to Dunsinane, and the third promised that he would not be defeated until Great Birnam Wood came to high Dunsinane Hill. Macbeth reacted by feeling emboldened and reassured by the prophecies.
The first meeting of Macbeth and the three witches serve as an important element for the play and it is from there that Macbeth's decline starts.In fact the third prophecy acts as an instigator for Macbeth and that leads to his downfall.The super hero Macbeth turns into a weakling only after this.It is here that the seeds of overambition gets hold of Macbeth.Had it not been for this meeting Macbeth itself wont be thereIn Shakespeare's Macbeth, the meeting between Macbeth and the three witches serves as the catalyst for the drama. The witches introduce the idea of his being king to Macbeth, or at least make the idea concrete for him. They put fate or destiny on his side.In other words, it is possible that Macbeth had entertained thoughts of being king before he meets the witches. It may even be likely, though there is no concrete or absolute evidence of this. But the witches give him corroboration for his thoughts, if he was having them, and, more importantly, tell him that it is his destiny to be king. That's all Macbeth, and his wife, for that matter, need to begin devising a plan and putting it into action. And this plan, of course, involves killing the present king.The meeting, in foul weather and filled with mysteries (the weird sisters seem to vanish, for example), also furthers the themes of appearance and reality and fair and foul. Throughout the play, people and circumstances are often not as they seem. The theme of the supernatural is also furthered.The problem Macbeth has throughout the play with Banquo is developed here, too--since Banquo is present, he knows the predictions made by the witches, and will therefore naturally suspect Macbeth of treachery when Duncan is killed. And Macbeth knows it. This makes Banquo a threat to him, which will lead Macbeth to order his killing, which leads more and more people to suspect Macbeth.
The second set of predictions by the three witches was revealed to readers and viewers in Act 4 Scene 1. The first set of predictions, in Act 1 Scene 3, had dealt with the rise to power of Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057]. The second set dealt with threats to the consolidation of that power. For the witches predicted danger from Macduff, a man not born of woman, and the movement of Birnam Wood to Dunsinane Castle. They went on to show that Banquo's family would occupy the throne of Scotland. But the warnings of the three dangers weren't explained. And so Macbeth left with a false sense of security, because of the seeming impossibility of two out of three predictions. But he also left with a renewed sense of purpose, because of the seeming resolution to his problems by the subsequent wholesale slaughter at the Macduffs' home at Fife Castle.
