He wrote the visions down as 112 short phrases, then the manuscript vanished for 450 years. When it resurfaced, historians checked the list against history. Pope after pope matched. The list ends with a name no pope has ever dared to take, followed by the destruction of Rome and Judgment Day. Francis died in 2025. A new pope took his place, and the city kept standing. But hidden inside the original Latin is a second countdown, one that points to a specific year: 2027. We trace the prophecy from a candlelit chapel to a four-hundred-year-old forgery, and ask why it keeps landing on the truth. #PropheciesOfThePopes #EndoftheWorld #Vatican2027 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Executive Producers: Jennifer Gentile Gino Gentile AJ Gentile Patreon Members Editors: Joe Stone Drew Sullivan Brandon Snyder Ryan Fitzgerald Producers: Victoria Young Haley Burke Research: Haley Burke AJ Gentile Gino Gentile Jen Gentile Victoria Young Written/Hosted by: AJ Gentile Hecklefish J.

I don't think anyone realizes the effort you put into every episode. Thank you, AJ.

I can agree with AJ's final message. I died on July 3rd, 2023. I was brought back by someone who refused to give up on me and managed to restart my heart before the helicopter arrived. I awoke on July 4th in the hospital, in a lot of pain, confused, but alive. Since then I feel different. I no longer have any fear of death. I cherish each day, but accept that it might be my last. And I'm ok with that. I learned to love everything I do, everyone around me. I learned to forgive those that wrong(ed) me. I learned to accept those that don't understand. I remind myself that if today sucked, tomorrow will be a great day if for no other reason than I got the privilege of waking up. I love you all whether you like it or not! If you haven't already, hug your dog today. Or your cat. Or your spouse. Or your parent. Or your... well, you get the idea. 😉✌️
