💣 Arms Export Considerations

Germany has historically been a major arms supplier to Israel. However, recent statements suggest a potential halt or reduction in arms exports, especially if there's evidence of violations of international humanitarian law.

🇪🇺 European Union Dynamics

Germany's shift is part of a broader European reassessment of relations with Israel:

• Trade Agreements: The EU is reviewing its Association Agreement with Israel, which provides preferential trade terms. A suspension would require a qualified majority, and Germany's position could be pivotal in this decision. The Guardian

• Recognition of Palestine: Countries like Spain, Ireland, and Norway have recognized Palestine, increasing pressure on other EU members, including Germany, to take a definitive stance.The Guardian+1Wikipedia+1

🧭 Strategic Implications

Germany's reassessment marks a significant departure from its post-World War II policy of unwavering support for Israel. This shift could influence broader EU policies and potentially alter the dynamics of Middle Eastern diplomacy.

Fringe Theory and Others: Brutal Assessments on Germany’s Shift Against Israel and Biblical Prophecy

Germany’s pivot away from unconditional support for Israel, as seen in its recent condemnation of military operations in Gaza and a reconsideration of arms exports, has not gone unnoticed—especially among fringe analysts, prophecy scholars, and geopolitical theorists. To them, this is more than a political realignment. It is a potential prophetic milestone that fits into a larger biblical, historical, and esoteric framework involving the role of Europe, Israel, and the end times.

Geopolitical Overview According to Fringe Theory

Many alternative analysts interpret Germany’s break from its post-WWII loyalty to Israel as a strategic realignment that signals a broader European detachment from Judeo-Christian values. Some believe this could be:

• A soft betrayal, prophesied in scripture, where Israel will be increasingly isolated by nations it once trusted.

• Evidence of Western governments aligning with Islamic states to form a political consensus that will ultimately challenge Israel’s sovereignty in the region.

These theories often argue that the European Union is transforming into a revived Roman Empire—and Germany, as the economic and political powerhouse of the EU, plays a central role in this evolution.

Germany’s Historic and Spiritual Role

Fringe theologians frequently point to the connection between Germany and the so-called Assyrian archetype in the Bible. The prophet Isaiah and Micah speak of “the Assyrian” as a future enemy of Israel, who invades the land in the latter days.

• Isaiah 10:5–6: "Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of My anger, in whose hand is the club of My wrath! I send him against a godless nation…"

• Many biblical researchers equate the Assyrian with a European military leader—possibly from Germany or a unified European bloc—who will rise with charisma and power but ultimately turn on Israel.

Under this lens, Germany’s change of posture is not just diplomatic—it’s prophetic. It signals the fading of post-Holocaust remorse, the resurfacing of national interests over historical guilt, and potentially the groundwork for future hostility.

According to Ezekiel 38–39 (Gog and Magog), Zechariah 12–14, and Daniel 9, Israel will face a final coalition of nations who rise against her. Key observations:

• Zechariah 12:3: “All nations of the earth will be gathered against her.” Germany’s distancing could be one more domino, leading to this total international isolation.

• Daniel 9:26–27 references a prince from “the people who will destroy the city and the sanctuary” (interpreted as Rome, thus symbolically Europe) making a false peace before betraying Israel.

• Some see the Revelation Beast system as a revived European empire (often traced to Germany and Italy), with the False Prophet and Antichrist emerging from it—using temporary peace with Israel before launching into war.

If the EU does eventually revoke its trade agreement with Israel, or sanctions Israeli defense actions while funding or arming its enemies, that could be a precursor to such a betrayal.

Brutal Speculative Claims

• Germany’s return to pragmatism over post-WWII guilt reflects a cold geopolitical realism, which fringe theorists see as the removal of a restraining force—a prophetic “falling away” from moral clarity.

• The arming of Israel by Germany in past decades may be viewed as a “setup” to later revoke support and weaken Israel’s defense strategy, aligning with the strategy of surrounding her with enemies.

• Others suggest that certain European powers—including German intelligence—may already be collaborating with hostile actors behind the scenes to pressure or corner Israel diplomatically.

Conclusion: Is Germany’s Turn Prophetic?

Fringe prophecy watchers are not claiming that Germany has declared war—but they are raising red flags. Germany’s tone shift is being interpreted as another step toward the fulfillment of Zechariah 12, Ezekiel’s war of Gog and Magog, and the eventual isolation and betrayal of Israel by former allies.

If more European countries follow suit, or if Germany actively supports UN resolutions against Israel or endorses Palestinian statehood unilaterally, the prophetic clock—according to fringe analysts—ticks faster.

Germany: Seen by some prophecy analysts as the symbolic revival of ancient Assyria or a key leader in the revived Roman Empire (Daniel 2 & Revelation 13).

• European Union: Often viewed as the “iron and clay” mixture in Daniel’s vision—unstable alliances that form the base of the final beast system.

• Russia and Iran: Central aggressors in the Ezekiel 38-39 war against Israel.

• United States: Not clearly identified in prophecy, which some believe implies a withdrawal or weakening of influence.

Timeline of Prophetic Events Involving These Nations

1. Modern Gathering of Israel (1948–Present) – Fulfillment of Ezekiel 37.

2. Rise of Anti-Israel Sentiment in the West – Viewed as the beginning of Zechariah 12:3.

3. EU Weakening from Within – Interpreted as Daniel 2’s iron and clay; Brexit seen as a sign.

4. Germany’s Shift Away from Israel – Potential alignment with anti-Israel forces.

5. War of Gog and Magog (Ezekiel 38–39) – Could begin with Iranian-Russian-led coalition.

6. Final Betrayal and Invasion (Zechariah 14) – Jerusalem surrounded, leading to divine intervention.

7. Return of the Messiah (Zechariah 14:4) – Ends the coalition attack on Israel.

Key Whistleblower and Watchman Quotes

• Chuck Missler (Prophecy Scholar): "Germany’s role in the EU and their turning against Israel may be part of the slow fusion of the Beast system."

• Hal Lindsey: "When Israel is abandoned by the world and surrounded by her enemies, look up. That’s when prophecy accelerates."

• Joel Richardson: "Assyria may not be a location—it may be a spirit of empire. Germany and the EU could carry it forward."

"The Reshaping of Europe: Bible Prophecy Unfolding

 Before Our Eyes | Must-Watch Analysis!"

Here is a full chart aligning prophetic scriptures with major geopolitical developments over the past 100 years. It outlines how specific modern events are interpreted by prophecy scholars and fringe theorists in relation to biblical end-times texts. Let me know if you'd like this expanded with historical references, maps, or supporting quotes.

Germany’s 20th-century history is deeply intertwined with Jewish suffering and survival. The Holocaust—the systematic extermination of six million Jews during WWII—is often seen as both a satanic attempt to wipe out the chosen people and a prophetic precursor to Israel’s rebirth in 1948.

According to Zechariah 13:8–9, two-thirds of the Jewish population would perish, with the remnant purified. Many believe this verse was eerily fulfilled during the Holocaust. In a grim paradox, Germany's darkest era may have set the prophetic stage for Israel's restoration, just as Isaiah 66:8 described: “Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment?”

After WWII, Germany assumed a posture of repentance and reparation. Billions in aid, arms, and diplomatic support were directed toward Israel. German leaders regularly affirmed their “Staatsräson”—the idea that Israel’s security was integral to Germany’s national identity.

But today, that commitment appears to be cracking.

The Assyrian Archetype and Germany's Role

Fringe prophecy scholars like Chuck Missler and Perry Stone identify the prophetic “Assyrian” (Isaiah 10, Micah 5) as a symbolic figure—not necessarily an individual from ancient Assyria, but a future leader or government that embodies military dominance and opposition to Israel.

Germany, as the heart of the EU and home to rising secular and progressive movements, is seen as a possible symbolic heir to this archetype. The fact that Germany was once the instrument of Jewish genocide, only to later become Israel’s defender, makes its possible prophetic betrayal all the more chilling.

End-Time Implications of a Shift

If Germany completes its political and military decoupling from Israel, prophecy watchers see the following unfolding:

• Zechariah 12:3 – “All nations of the earth will gather against her.”

• Daniel 9:27 – The revived Roman Empire (interpreted as the EU) makes and then breaks a peace covenant.

• Revelation 17 – The beast system includes 10 kings (often linked to Europe) who hand their power to the Antichrist.

Germany's move, viewed through this lens, is not just policy—it’s betrayal written long ago.

Passages such as 2 Timothy 3:13—"evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived"—are cited to suggest that leadership and societal institutions will become increasingly corrupt and detached from truth in the final days. 

Fringe theorists and proponents of biblical prophecy interpret the UK's current challenges—such as economic instability, social unrest, and moral decline—as signs fulfilling end-times prophecies. They often cite scriptures like 2 Timothy 3:13, which suggests that "evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse," indicating a societal descent as a precursor to Christ's return. 

Passages such as 2 Timothy 3:13—"evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived"—are cited to suggest that leadership and societal institutions will become increasingly corrupt and detached from truth in the final days. The broader context of that chapter warns of a time when people will be “lovers of themselves,” hostile to righteousness, and resistant to truth, all traits that some prophecy interpreters see reflected in modern cultural trends like hyper-individualism, anti-Christian sentiment, and the collapse of traditional family structures.

Fringe theorists also point to the erosion of religious influence in public life, including the marginalization of Christian values in education, media, and lawmaking, as proof that the UK is falling under a prophesied “strong delusion” (2 Thessalonians 2:11) that blinds nations in the end times. They argue that rising crime, lawlessness, and apathy toward biblical morality signal a nation no longer protected by divine favor but headed toward judgment.

Some prophecy advocates believe the UK plays a special role in biblical history. They link the British Isles to the so-called “lost tribes of Israel,” suggesting that Britain and its former dominions once held divine responsibility as stewards of justice and truth. As these nations drift from that calling, proponents warn, their power, prosperity, and unity will continue to decline — a pattern they claim is now unmistakable.

In their view, financial collapse, government instability, and societal unrest are not just policy failures but consequences of spiritual rebellion. They interpret this as a fulfillment of Deuteronomy 28, where blessings and curses are described in relation to obedience or disobedience to God’s commandments. With growing dependence on global institutions, moral relativism, and open hostility toward biblical values, they believe the UK is facing divine correction as a prelude to the events laid out in Revelation.

These interpretations are dismissed by many theologians and mainstream commentators as alarmist or speculative, but for those immersed in end-times teaching, current events in the UK are not a surprise—they are confirmation. From this lens, what’s unfolding is not just a national crisis, but a signpost on the timeline of a prophetic era, drawing nearer to the return of Christ and the final confrontation between truth and deception on a global scale.

Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

Some believe that the UK, along with other English-speaking nations, corresponds to the "lost tribes of Israel" mentioned in the Bible. This perspective holds that these nations were once blessed due to their ancestral lineage but now face judgment for turning away from biblical principles.

Some researchers and prophecy-minded individuals believe that the United Kingdom and other English-speaking nations—such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand—are linked to the so-called “lost tribes of Israel,” a theory known as British Israelism. This belief holds that the ten northern tribes of ancient Israel, which were scattered after the Assyrian conquest around 721 B.C., eventually migrated westward through Europe and became the ancestors of the Anglo-Saxon and related peoples. According to this perspective, the blessings promised to Abraham’s descendants in Genesis, including national greatness, military strength, and economic prosperity, were fulfilled historically through the rise of the British Empire and the expansion of its cultural and political influence.

Advocates of this theory often point to the global reach of the British Empire, the adoption of Judeo-Christian ethics in Western law, and the early prominence of missionary work as evidence that these nations were under divine favor. The dominance of English as an international language and the role of the UK and the U.S. in shaping modern global order are also viewed as prophetic fulfillments of blessings promised to the tribes of Joseph—especially Ephraim and Manasseh, whom many identify symbolically with Britain and America, respectively.

However, this same perspective suggests that those blessings came with responsibilities. As these nations have increasingly moved away from biblical values—legalizing practices once considered immoral, removing prayer and Scripture from public life, redefining family and gender roles, and embracing secular ideologies—some see this as a turning point. They interpret the resulting cultural decay, political instability, economic uncertainty, and social unrest as a form of divine judgment, echoing the pattern seen in ancient Israel when it abandoned its covenant with God.

Supporters of this view believe that the prophetic warnings given to Israel in Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26 are now applicable to these modern descendants. Those chapters describe a cycle of blessing for obedience and punishment for rebellion, including confusion in leadership, loss of sovereignty, natural disasters, weakened national defense, and eventual subjugation by foreign powers. The recent rise in national division, loss of identity, and moral ambiguity is therefore seen not as a coincidence but as a spiritual consequence.

This framework gives the current challenges facing the UK and its kindred nations a theological dimension. Declining church attendance, hostility toward Christianity in public life, and the normalization of values that contradict Scripture are not just societal trends—they are understood as symptoms of covenantal disobedience. Some warn that unless there is a national return to biblical truth, these nations will continue to experience decline, vulnerability, and displacement, just as ancient Israel and Judah did before their respective captivities.

Though widely dismissed by mainstream historians and theologians, this theory remains influential in certain religious and prophecy-focused communities, particularly among those who view the modern world through a lens of biblical typology and divine order. For them, the question isn’t whether these judgments are happening, but how soon the final reckoning foretold in prophecy will arrive.

Tomorrow's World

Many who study biblical prophecy see the rise of global governance institutions, digital surveillance, and cashless economic systems as fitting into the framework described in Revelation 13. That chapter of Scripture warns of a future world system in which economic transactions will be controlled through a centralized authority, requiring individuals to accept a "mark" to buy or sell. The “mark of the beast,” as it’s commonly referred to, is not only seen as a tool of economic control but also one of allegiance—symbolizing loyalty to a corrupt, anti-God world power.

In this context, modern developments in financial technology—such as the growing use of digital IDs, biometric verification, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)—are not viewed merely as innovations but as potential precursors to a prophetic global system. For those who hold this view, the trend toward eliminating physical cash reduces anonymity and personal freedom, allowing governments or supranational bodies to track, restrict, or deny transactions based on compliance with ideological or social policies.

The expansion of platforms that integrate personal health records, social media activity, credit scores, and location data into centralized databases is also seen as relevant. The ability to freeze bank accounts, deny services, or restrict mobility for dissenting views—already tested in various geopolitical contexts—is interpreted as a demonstration of how Revelation 13’s warnings could unfold under the guise of public safety or economic efficiency.

Furthermore, the emergence of globalist language in political forums—where themes like sustainable development, inclusive governance, and climate accountability are emphasized—raises red flags in these circles. They argue that these initiatives, while outwardly beneficial, often call for the surrender of national sovereignty and the implementation of uniform global standards that would be difficult to resist without falling into economic or social penalties.

For those monitoring prophecy, these technological and institutional shifts are not random. They are seen as deliberate steps toward a fully integrated world system that mirrors the one Revelation describes—a world where participation in the economy and society depends on submission to a controlling authority, possibly under spiritual deception.

This view is not necessarily rooted in opposition to technology itself, but rather in concern over how it might be used to create conditions for total control—eliminating freedom of conscience, expression, and worship. It is believed that this system will arise subtly, incrementally, and even with popular support, until it reaches a tipping point where opting out is no longer possible without severe consequence.

In their estimation, the current convergence of economic policy, digital identity frameworks, and global governance rhetoric is not coincidental but prophetic—evidence that the world is moving rapidly toward the very scenario laid out nearly 2,000 years ago in the final book of the Bible.

While mainstream interpretations may differ, these fringe perspectives underscore a belief that current events are not random but part of a divine plan unfolding as foretold in biblical texts.

The Divine Council Revealed: What the Book of Job and Psalms Say About God's Heavenly Assembly

—is a recurring theme in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the Book of Job and Psalms. While many readers gloss over these verses, a closer look reveals that ancient Israelite belief included a structured spiritual realm where God was not the only being at work. This concept adds rich context to some of the most debated passages in scripture and hints at a cosmic order beyond human understanding.

In the Book of Job, the divine council is introduced early and directly. Job 1:6 states:
“Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.”

Here, “sons of God” (Hebrew: bene ha’elohim) is a phrase used to describe heavenly beings who appear to serve in God's court. These are not humans but divine entities who participate in the heavenly bureaucracy. Among them is Satan, not yet portrayed as the evil adversary of the New Testament but rather as a sort of prosecuting attorney—testing the righteousness of mankind. This scene sets the tone for the drama of Job’s suffering and suggests that God permits debate and deliberation among spiritual beings.

Another passage in Job 2:1 echoes the same structure:
“Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them...”

This repetition solidifies the understanding that there was an organized meeting, not unlike a council or court session, where decisions and judgments were considered in the spiritual realm.

Psalms also contains striking references to a divine assembly. In Psalm 82, perhaps the most discussed passage on this topic, the psalmist writes:
“God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods.” (Psalm 82:1)

The term translated as “gods” (Hebrew: elohim) has sparked debate. Some argue it refers to human judges, others to angelic beings, but the structure of the psalm and its language strongly suggest a heavenly courtroom. In verse 6, the speaker declares:

“I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High.”

This is echoed later in John 10:34, where Jesus quotes Psalm 82 during a dispute with Jewish leaders. The term elohim—though plural—is used throughout the Old Testament not just for God himself but also for powerful spiritual beings. Psalm 89:5–7 further reinforces this image:

“The heavens praise your wonders, Lord, your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones. For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord? Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings? In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared.”

This passage describes a divine council or assembly in the heavens where even the most powerful of heavenly beings show reverence toward the Lord. It mirrors the royal courts of kings on earth, projecting that divine rule operates in similar, structured ways—with witnesses, councils, and judgments.

The conservative interpretation emphasizes God's ultimate authority over this council. While God may host or preside over a heavenly court, there is no equality of power. The divine beings, sometimes called angels or watchers, are subject to His will. Their inclusion in biblical texts reinforces God's majesty by showing that He governs even the heavens through order and justice.

Some theologians, like Dr. Michael Heiser, have suggested that this concept of the Divine Council is one of the most under-recognized but essential aspects of Old Testament theology. It explains difficult passages like Genesis 1:26 (“Let us make man”) and brings into focus a biblical cosmology where the universe is layered with spiritual authority.

On the fringe end of interpretation, some theorists have proposed that these “gods” are not spiritual beings at all—but rather advanced extraterrestrials misinterpreted by early humans. While this is speculative and not widely accepted among scholars, it shows how these mysterious passages continue to inspire alternative theories.

Whether taken literally, metaphorically, or theologically, the idea of a Divine Council forces modern readers to rethink the spiritual dynamics of the Old Testament. Rather than a solitary deity, these scriptures suggest a divine administration—one in which God is King, Judge, and Commander over a vast realm of beings beyond human sight.

Join the Mahdi: The Mahdi's Revolution at the Vatican

In recent episodes of Join the Mahdi, hosts Ardijan and Alexandra have shared updates on the global campaign led by believers of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light. They proclaim Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq as the true successor of Jesus Christ and the rightful pope appointed by divine will. ​Reddit+3Log in or sign up to view+3Log in or sign up to view+3YouTube

The movement emphasizes a return to divine authority, challenging established religious institutions. Believers have taken their message to significant religious centers, including the Vatican, to advocate for this perspective.

​The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL) is a contemporary religious movement that emerged in 2015, led by Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq, an Egyptian-American who claims to be the divinely appointed successor of Jesus Christ and the prophesied Mahdi. This movement is distinct from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and should not be confused with it.​Bitter Winter+1Wikipedia+1Wikipedia+2Reddit+2Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate+2

Origins and Leadership

AROPL traces its roots to Ahmed al-Hasan, an Iraqi figure who claimed to be the Yamani, a precursor to the Mahdi in Shia eschatology. In 2015, Abdullah Hashem announced that he was appointed by Ahmed al-Hasan as the Qa'im (Riser) of the Family of Muhammad, positioning himself as a central figure in the fulfillment of Islamic end-time prophecies. This declaration led to a split among followers, with AROPL becoming the largest faction, distinct from the "White Banners" group based in Iraq .​Reddit+2Wikipedia+2Wikipedia+2themahdi.wiki+4Wikipedia+4Bitter Winter+4cesnur.net+4Religion Media Centre+4Wikipedia+4

Core Beliefs

AROPL's theology is detailed in its sacred text, The Goal of the Wise: The Gospel of the Riser of the Family of Mohammed, published in 2022. The movement's beliefs include:​X (formerly Twitter)+9Wikipedia+9Wikipedia+9

• Seven Covenants: A series of divine agreements made with prophets—Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, and Ahmed al-Hasan—each representing a new phase in humanity's spiritual evolution.​Reddit+4Wikipedia+4Religion Media Centre+4

• Divine Just State: A future theocratic state led by a divinely appointed king, aiming to unify all religions and establish global justice.​Religion Media Centre

• Reincarnation and Karma: A belief in the transmigration of souls and the moral consequences of actions across lifetimes.​

• Syncretic Theology: Incorporation of elements from Twelver Shia Islam, Gnostic Christianity, and Western esotericism, reflecting a universalist approach to spirituality .​Religion Media Centre+1Wikipedia+1

Claims of Divine Appointment

AROPL asserts that Abdullah Hashem is explicitly named in the "Will of Prophet Muhammad," a document whose authenticity is disputed among mainstream Islamic scholars. According to the movement, this will lists twelve Mahdis following the twelve Imams, with the first two named as "Ahmed" and "Abdullah," referring to Ahmed al-Hasan and Abdullah Hashem, respectively .​Bitter Winter+7cesnur.net+7Wikipedia+7cesnur.net+6Religion Media Centre+6Wikipedia+6

The movement also interprets certain hadiths and prophecies to support Abdullah Hashem's role, such as the emergence of the Mahdi following the death of a ruler named Abdullah, which they associate with the passing of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia in 2015 .​

Activities and Outreach

AROPL has established its headquarters near Manchester, UK, and maintains an active online presence through its official website and social media channels. The movement has produced various publications and videos to disseminate its teachings and has engaged in missionary activities, including public demonstrations and outreach efforts in different countries .​Wikipedia+5Bitter Winter+5Bitter Winter+5

Reception and Controversy

The movement's claims have been met with skepticism and criticism from mainstream Islamic scholars and communities. Some view AROPL's teachings as heretical, and the group has faced persecution in certain countries, leading members to seek asylum elsewhere .​Wikipedia+6Wikipedia+6Bitter Winter+6

Conclusion

The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light represents a modern religious movement with a unique blend of Islamic eschatology and universalist spiritual themes. While its claims are controversial and not recognized by mainstream religious authorities, AROPL continues to attract followers and engage in global outreach efforts.​

 There has been a surge in interest around “Peter the Roman” stemming from a centuries-old prophecy known as the Prophecy of the Popes, attributed to Saint Malachy, a 12th-century Irish archbishop. According to this controversial document, Peter the Roman is described as the final pope—and his reign is believed by some to coincide with the destruction of Rome and the final judgment.

• Attributed to Saint Malachy (1094–1148), who allegedly received a vision during a pilgrimage to Rome.

• The prophecy consists of 112 short Latin phrases, each said to describe one of the popes from his time to the end of the world.

• These cryptic mottos often describe the pope’s birthplace, coat of arms, personality, or significant events during his reign.

The prophecy was first published in 1595 by Benedictine monk Arnold de Wyon, and skeptics argue it was forged during that time to support a papal candidate. However, defenders note that the descriptions after 1595 continue to align eerily with successive popes, including popes of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Who Is “Peter the Roman”?

Peter the Roman (Petrus Romanus) is the 112th and final pope on Saint Malachy’s list. His description is the longest and most apocalyptic:

“In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations; and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The end.”

This entry:

• Names a man (Peter), reminiscent of Saint Peter, the first pope.

• Links him to Rome—not just the Church, but the literal city.

• Implies his tenure includes persecution, upheaval, and divine judgment.

• Ends with the fall of Rome and the final judgment—suggesting end-times events.

Why Do People Think He’s the Last Pope?

Because he's not numbered like the others—his description is final, and the prophecy ends with him. That, combined with the judgment language, has led many to believe he will be the pope during the Tribulation and the Second Coming of Christ.

Was Pope Francis “Peter the Roman”?

This is where it gets interesting—and controversial:

• Pope Benedict XVI was the 111th pope and resigned in 2013—unprecedented in modern history.

• His motto in the prophecy was “Gloria olivae” (Glory of the Olive), which some loosely tied to peace and the Benedictine order.

• Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Argentina to Italian parents, became the 112th pope.

Here’s the debate:

• His name is not Peter, but some speculate his humble, pastoral nature, and return to Vatican II reforms, reflects the “shepherding during tribulation” element.

• Others point to his Jesuit background, his political engagements, and his progressive stances as signs of transformation—possibly either renewal or apostasy, depending on perspective.

• Some argue he isn't Peter the Roman meaning there may be one more pope, or even a false pope to come.

Why It’s Trending Again Now

• The death of Pope Francis, if recent, would naturally reignite speculation: Is Peter the Roman next? Has he already been?

• Global instability, wars, and rising spiritual tension have many prophecy watchers scanning for signs.

• Papal prophecies connect to other apocalyptic visions, including:

  • Fatima’s Third Secret

  • Garabandal and Akita apparitions

  • The idea that a great apostasy or spiritual deception will precede Christ’s return (2 Thessalonians 2:3)

Conclusion

Peter the Roman is believed to be the final pope before the end of the world, according to an ancient prophecy that has intrigued theologians, historians, and conspiracy theorists alike. Whether literal or symbolic, his name has become synonymous with the final chapter of the Church Age, and for many, signals the convergence of prophecy, politics, and divine judgment.
