CHILLING PROPHECY CLAIMS ‘PETER THE ROMAN’ WILL BE THE LAST POPE — AND THE END IS NEAR

Ancient manuscript predicts successor to Pope Francis

With Pope Francis’ sudden death at 88, an eerie 900-year-old prophecy has surged back into public consciousness — and its final warning is sending shivers through the Catholic world.

The Prophecy of the Popes, a cryptic 12th-century manuscript attributed to Saint Malachy, lays out predictions for 112 popes beginning in 1143. Now, with Francis gone, the Church stands on the brink of what the document calls the reign of the final pope: Peter the Roman.

And that’s not all.

According to the prophecy’s final verse, Peter the Roman will shepherd the Church during “many tribulations” — before Rome is destroyed and Judgment Day arrives.

“After which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End,” the text concludes ominously.

The Vatican is well aware of the ancient document, and although not officially recognized, it’s long been whispered about in the halls of power.

And now? It’s impossible to ignore.

Three of the top papal contenders are named Peter — a spine-tingling coincidence that is reigniting fears among the faithful and fueling apocalyptic speculation online.

“There’s a growing belief among some scholars and religious thinkers that the timeline ends in 2027,” says one source close to the Vatican. “And that aligns with the year predicted for the Second Coming.”

Pope Francis, who died Monday of a cerebral hemorrhage just one day after leading Easter Mass at St. Peter’s Square, will be mourned for nine days before the conclave to choose his successor begins.

Only cardinals under 80 are eligible to vote, and a two-thirds majority is required to elect the next pope — who, if the prophecy holds, may be the Church’s last.

While skeptics dismiss Malachy’s text as medieval mysticism, others point to the disturbingly accurate descriptions of past popes. One passage, for example, described Pope John Paul II as “De labore solis” — Latin for “from the labor of the sun.” He was born during a solar eclipse.

“You can roll your eyes,” a Vatican historian tells #ShuterScoop, “but it’s hard to ignore a document that’s been terrifying theologians for 900 years.”

So, is Peter the Roman coming? Will Rome fall? Is Judgment Day truly on the horizon?

The world — and the Church — may soon find out.
