The Passing of a Pope and the Shifting of an Age: A Call to Discernment and Devotion

The 266th pope, who served from March 2013 until his death on April 21st, 2025, has now passed—just one day after Easter Sunday. The timing alone is stirring global speculation, theological reflection, and prophetic questions.

Before delving deeper, it must be said:

“Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth.”
—Proverbs 24:17 (KJV)

Whatever one’s theological stance may be concerning Pope Francis, Scripture instructs us to walk in humility and sobriety. He was, by title, a religious shepherd to over a billion Catholics worldwide. And while many of his controversial statements—such as “Jesus failed at the cross” or “all religions lead to God”—may raise serious questions about doctrinal integrity, we ultimately leave final judgment to the Lord.

“The Lord knoweth them that are his.”
—2 Timothy 2:19 (KJV)

A Sign of the Times?

Some have long speculated that Pope Francis could be the final pope—citing the Prophecy of the Popes, a disputed but widely circulated document attributed to St. Malachy. Whether one gives that theory credence or not, we are seeing a convergence of events that are undeniably biblical in nature.

At the time of his death, the world is already groaning:

  • Wars and rumors of war (Matthew 24:6)

  • Economic instability and banking collapses

  • Earthquakes, storms, and record-breaking natural disasters (Luke 21:11)

  • Rising global lawlessness and spiritual confusion (2 Thessalonians 2:3)

The passing of a globally recognized religious figure only adds to the sense that the world is shifting into a new and critical phase.

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.”
—2 Timothy 3:1 (KJV)

Do Not Put Your Trust in Man

Let this moment remind us that no pope, pastor, president, or prophet can save us.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.”
—Psalm 146:3 (KJV)

Jesus said clearly:

“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
—John 14:6 (KJV)

Many people—Catholics and non-Catholics alike—are feeling a deep unease. They are searching for truth in a sea of spiritual confusion. To anyone reading this who finds themselves unsure, unsettled, or even disillusioned by the traditions of men—hear this clearly:

The invitation is not to a church building or religious title. It is to a Person—Jesus Christ, who is alive.

The True Church Is Not a Denomination

The Church Jesus spoke of was never about hierarchy, bureaucracy, or ceremony. It was, and still is, the global body of true believers who are born again by the Spirit of God and live by the Word of God.

“Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.”
—1 Corinthians 12:27 (KJV)

The true Church may not have marble walls or stained-glass windows, but she is clothed in holiness and watches for the Bridegroom's return. Her people are:

  • Fasting and praying

  • Sharing the Gospel boldly

  • Walking in repentance and humility

  • Discerning the signs of the times

To My Catholic Friends: Come to Jesus

If you were raised Catholic and feel your world shaken, you are not alone. But hear this with love: your hope was never meant to rest in a man who sits on a throne in Rome.

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
—1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV)

Jesus is not far off. He is close to the brokenhearted. He is calling not just Catholics, but Protestants, Muslims, agnostics, and every soul under heaven to repentance and a relationship with Him.

The Call to the Believer

If you know Jesus, then now is the time to rise. Preach the Word in season and out of season (2 Timothy 4:2). Share the Gospel boldly. Fast. Watch. Pray. The harvest is ripe, and the hour is late.

“Knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”
—Romans 13:11 (KJV)

A Call to Repentance

My friend, if your trust has been in religion, rituals, or religious leaders, God is calling you to something far greater: a relationship with the risen Savior.

The Gospel is simple, but it demands everything:

  1. Acknowledge you are a sinner
     > “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” —Romans 3:23

  2. Believe in Jesus Christ
     > “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” —Romans 10:9

  3. Repent and receive the gift of eternal life
     > “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out...” —Acts 3:19

Final Exhortation

We are not promised tomorrow. This world is unraveling at the seams. The death of a religious figure may seem like just another news story, but in the Spirit, it marks a shift. God is speaking—are you listening?

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
—Revelation 2:7 (KJV)

Let us not be found asleep. Let us be found burning with oil in our lamps, watching, waiting, and working for the return of the King.

💰 Digital Chains, Global Power & the Coming Beast System

The Prophetic Implications of AI, Blockchain, and the World Financial Reset 📖 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark... And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…” — Revelation 13:16–17 (KJV) A global transformation is underway—an economic, political, and technological realignment happening in plain sight. While the world debates left vs. right, East vs. West, and nation vs. nation, Scripture reveals that a singular world system is forming . Its aim? Absolute control of humanity. And the foundation of this control will be economic. The financial system that undergirds the current world order is being dismantled—and what rises in its place aligns with the prophesied Beast system foretold in Revelation 13. 🔁 From Gold Standard to Global Blockchain: The Setup The U.S. economic shift unfolded in the shadow of Nixon’s 1971 removal of the dollar from the gold standard.

From Fear to Freedom: How Trusting God Leads to Abundant Life

Introduction: Abundance Through Dependence   In a culture that exalts independence and self-reliance, the idea of finding life through dependence on God is foreign—even offensive. But in the Kingdom of God, the way up is down, the way to victory is surrender, and the way to life is death to self.   Jesus said:      “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”     ( John 10:10, KJV )   Yet this abundant life is not achieved by striving or control. It is experienced by learning to live in Him, through Him, and with Him—moment by moment, especially when life gets hard. Tough Times as Training Grounds for Intimacy   Our natural instinct is to avoid discomfort. But Scripture teaches us that trials are often the very means by which we grow in intimacy with God:      “It is good for me that I have been afflicted;     that I might learn thy statutes.”     ( Psalm 119:71, KJV )   Difficult seasons sharpen our spiritual senses. When life i...
