Pope Francis' death announced

The prophetic significance of his death is seen only when we understand that the Vatican is the religious extension of the Roman Empire which collapsed in 476 A.D. It is described in Daniel 7:20 KJV as a “little horn” (extension) of the fourth beast system that was to have dominion prior to the Kingdom of God that is ruled by the saints of the Most High God.

I explained this briefly in an earlier weblog dated March 1, 2025.

I received earlier information that Pope Francis actually died February 28, and for this reason I wrote the above blog the next day to prepare you for the new era we are now entering. However, I was asked to not make his death public, because the cardinals wanted to make preparations for the future. They used the pope’s double to make occasional appearances and photo ops as late as yesterday, Easter Sunday.

If that report was true, then it is plain that they wanted to wait until after the Easter season to announce his death publicly. Hence, his official death occurred today, April 21, 2025. This is the last day of the second 76-day cleansing cycle for the current Prophetic Year.

The current Prophetic Year began on November 21, 2024. The first cleansing cycle thus ended on February 5, and the second ends tomorrow, April 22. I wrote about it here:

In the prophecies of St. Malachy in the 12^th century, he lists 111 popes who would yet rule from Rome.

Pope Francis is the last pope on his list, suggesting that Francis’ death is perhaps the most significant of all. It suggests that Francis’ death marks the full end of the time of the “little horn” and the beast empires as a whole. Conversely, it suggests also the rise to power of “the saints of the Most High” (Daniel 7:27 KJV).

The shift in authority will be a process that will not be instantaneous, of course, but I am confident that tomorrow will mark the start of a new era where God recognizes a new authority in the earth. Keep in mind that in the days of Moses, God told him in Exodus 4:16, “You will be as God [or as a god] to him,” that is, to Pharaoh. In other words, God put Moses in authority over Pharaoh, a position that Pharaoh himself did not believe. Hence there was opposition to delay the implementation of this authority until the appointed time.

The Prophetic Year began last November on the day that the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Israeli PM Netanyahu for his war crimes against Palestinian civilians—men, women, and children.

The death of Francis was announced on the last day of the second 76-day cycle. One might say that God issued the pope an arrest warrant (or a summons to the divine court). As we have seen each year, the end points of these cleansing cycles set a pattern for events that are due in the latter part of the Prophetic Year (ending on the 8^th of Tabernacles).

This particular Prophetic Year is very important because it is the 70^th Year of Jubilee after Israel’s Jordan crossing under Joshua. We now have a new Joshua, Yeshua, Jesus Christ who is leading us into the Kingdom on a historic level. So we have much to anticipate as we remain watchful of what God is doing in the earth.

In this Jubilee year, I am reprinting an updated version of Secrets of Time which explains the long-term time cycles of Kingdom history from Adam to the present. My son Joel made the final proof of the book and inserted the final corrections this past weekend, and we will send it to the printshop shortly.
