A 900 -year -old book found in the Vatican Secret Archives claims to predict the year of the Judgment Day.
That is the Christian conviction of when Jesus returns to the earth to determine who will be saved and who will be damned there, and a saint told that it would happen in 2027.
Saint Malachy is credited with the 12th-century text, 'Prophecy of the Pauses', which contains a series of cryptic Latin sentences that are supposed to describe every pope, start with Celestine II in 1143 and conclude with the current leader of the church, Pope Francis.
The book, with 112 short, cryptic sentences, was discovered in 1595 by Arnold Wion, a Benedictine monk who claimed to have found Malachy's writings in the Vatican archives.
'In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, Peter will rule the Roman, who will feed his herd in the midst of many trials, after which the seven -dressed city will be destroyed and the terrible judge will judge the people. The end, “The last passage of the book is.
Some interpret the prophecy as Peter who takes over the pope in the midst of Francis's chronic lung disease, while others believe that Malachy suggested that Francis would be the last.
A documentary released in 2024 suggested that the latter is true because of a passage attributed to Pope Sixtus V from 1585 with the text: “Axle in the middle of a sign.”
Pope Sixtus V took course 442 years after the first leader and with the text that suggests that he is the middle of the prophecy, the end of the world would come 442 years later – 2027.

Prophecy of the popes comprises 112 cryptic sentences that are said to describe each of the future popes, starting in 1143
While the book was found more than 400 years ago, the prophecy surfaced as Pope Francis, 88, suffered two episodes of the respiratory crisis caused by a 'significant' amount of mucus retirement in its lungs and bronchial spasms.
He has been in the hospital for more than two weeks.
Although some scholars claim that the text is a 16th -century forgery, Malachy reportedly wrote prophecy of the popes in 1139 after receiving a vision during a visit to Rome.
Before he was elevated to nest, St. Malachy was an Irish archbishop known for his religious reforms, including the lake in accordance with Roman practices.
The claims that someone else wrote the 112 sentences about every future Pope come from the specific and very accurate way in which each of the popes are described until 1590.
After that point, the phrasing becomes much more vagient and leaves a lot open to interpretation. However, there are still a few shockingly accurate sentences that can be found in modern times.
The predictions of the saint have been taken seriously in recent decades.
As a report states: “In 1958, before the conclave that Pope John XXIII would choose, Cardinal Spellman of New York hired a boat, filled it with sheep and sailed up and down the Tiber River, to show that he was” Pastor et Nautor “attributed to the following Pope.”

Pope Francis has fought against serious respiratory issues, in which Catholics pray worldwide for the recovery of the 88-year-old

The old text mentions only one other pope after 'Gloria Olivae', who, according to scientists, referred to Pope Benedict XVI
One of the prophecies mentions the 111st pope as 'Gloria Olivae', which means 'the glory of the olive'.
The order of Saint Benedict is also known as the Olivetans, so some historians believe that Malachy predicted that Pope Benedict would lead the Catholic Church. He was Pope from 2005 to 2013.
Some believe that the expression of St. Malachy 'Lilium et Rosa', who translates into 'Lilly and the Rose', 'describes Pope Urban VIII (1623-1644) because the weapon of his family contained Lelies and roses.
Another line of text reads 'the Labore Solis', which means 'from the solar eclipse of the sun' and is speculated as the name of Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla) who was born during a solar eclipse. He was Pope from 1978 to 2005.
'Peregrinus apostolicus' is also used for one of the popes that, according to many, was intended for Pope VI because he spent a large part of his life traveling to new nations. He was Pope from 1963 to 1978.
According to the last entry around Peter de Romein, the 'last pope' will chair the church in a time of great unrest, culminating in the destruction of Rome and the end of the papacy.
The book was the subject on Sunday Cool Podcast, where host Josh Hooper noted The growing number of crises around the world generates the new faith in controversial prophecy.
The current war in Ukraine, increasing tensions between the United States and China, and the constant instability of the center -East are afraid that the next world war could be in our near future.
Allegedly, these great powers have also started preparing to restart their nuclear weapons programs, so that the fear of 'judgment day' is further stored.
This is not the only old text to predict the end of the world. The book of Revelation, written at the end of the first century AD, is thought by some to display the end of humanity – no Biblical events from the past.
Some even believe that the passages in revelation describe nuclear explosions, drones, planes and even robots.
