Pope Francis' Death Revives Eerie 12th-Century Prophecy About His Successor and the End Times
The unexpected death of Pope Francis has cast renewed attention on a centuries-old manuscript said to foretell the future of the papacy—and possibly the fate of humanity.
Known as the Prophecy of the Popes , the mysterious 12th-century document is believed to have been discovered in the Vatican's secret archives. It contains a sequence of cryptic Latin phrases, each allegedly corresponding to a pope, beginning with Celestine II in 1143 and culminating with a final figure: Peter the Roman — who is predicted to rise in 2027.
Intriguingly, with the papal seat now vacant, nine prominent cardinals are seen as leading contenders—and three of them are named Peter.
The prophecy does not stop at naming popes. It also delivers a chilling forecast: the return of Christ and the approach of Judgment Day. Many believers point to the year 2027 as a potential date for the Second Coming, a moment when, according to Christian tradition, Jesus returns to judge the living and the dead.
That ominous date is now less than two years away.
Pope Francis, who had been struggling with respiratory health issues for several months, passed away on Monday at the age of 88. His death, reportedly due to a cerebral hemorrhage, has added fuel to the speculation surrounding the prophecy—and what may lie ahead.
