A 900-year-old book found in the Vatican Secret Archives claims to predict the year of Judgement Day.

That is the Christian belief of when Jesus returns to Earth to determine who will be saved and who will be damned, and a saint said it would happen in 2027.

Saint Malachy is credited with the 12th-century text, 'Prophecy of the Popes,' which contains a series of cryptic Latin phrases believed to describe every pope, beginning with Celestine II in 1143 and concluding with the current leader of Church, Pope Francis.

The book, which features 112 short, cryptic phrases, 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 there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End,' the last passage of the book reads.

Some interpret the prophecy as Peter taking over as the pope amid Francis' chronic lung disease, while others believe Malachy was suggesting Francis would be the last.
A documentary released in 2024 suggested the latter is true due to a passage attributed to Pope Sixtus V from 1585 that reads: 'Axle in the midst of a sign.'

Pope Sixtus V took the helm 442 years after the first leader and with the text suggesting he is the middle of the prophecy, the end of the world would come 442 years later - 2027.
