Prophecy with 900 years of the final judgment resurfaces with the death of Pope Francis

Pope Francis’ death led to a renewed interest in a 900 -year -old book known as « The Prophecy of the Pope » (Prophetia Sancti Malachiae Archiepiscopi, from Summis Pontificibus – or “Prophecy of St. Archbishop Malachi, regarding the pontiffs”), which claims to predict the year of the day of the final judgment.

For those who need to review their Scripture, the day of judgment – also known as « the final judgment » or « the second coming of Jesus Christ » – is the day Jesus returns to earth to judge humanity and destroy the earth and heaven. Essentially, it is the day we will discover who will be saved and who will be condemned. And according to the 12th century book, attributed to Irish Bishop Saint Malachy, this day will take place in 2027.

Located in the Vatican’s secret archives and discovered in 1590 by the Benedictine monk Arnold Wion, “The Pope Prophecy” is gaining prominence due to a prophecy that relates to Pope Francis’ health.

The 88 -year -old pontiff was dealt with bilateral pneumonia, was hospitalized for more than a month, eventually died off the hospital on April 21.

The book contains a series of Latin phrases in 112 mysterious sections that intend to predict Catholic popes from Celestino II to the current leader of the Church.

A passage, attributed to Pope Sisto V, says, « Axis in the middle of a sign. »

Pope Sisto’s mandate began 442 years after the first Pope’s government, and the passage suggests that he is in the “middle” of the papal lineage – thus indicating that the end of the world would arrive 442 years later in 2027.

The last passage of the book says: « In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, Peter will reign, the Roman, who will feed his flock among many tribulations, after which the city of Seven Colinas will be destroyed, and the terrible judge will judge the people.

The “city of seven hills” refers to Rome and some interpret the last passage as Peter to take the place of Francis as a Pope due to the chronic lung disease of the latter, making Francis the last Pope.

All of this sounds very much to Dan Brown, and « The Pope Prophecy » appeared in popular fiction, including Steve Berry’s 2005 novel « The Third Secret » and the 2009 novel by James Rollins « The Key of Judgment. »

It is worth noting that modern scholars have contested the origins of the text, saying that the book is simply a cryptic falsification created for party political reasons.

Others also refer to the Bible, which specifically warns against the forecast of the second coming date.

Matthew 24:36 says, « From that day and time, but no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. »

Therefore, they may not already take it in your calendars.
