Everything is Being Recorded
"Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do." Hebrews 4:13
"If we were to cherish an habitual impression that God sees and hears all that we do and say and keeps a faithful record of our words and actions, and that we must meet it all, we would fear to sin. Let the young ever remember that wherever they are, and whatever they do, they are in the presence of God. No part of our conduct escapes observation. We cannot hide our ways from the Most High. Human laws, though sometimes severe, are often transgressed without detection, and hence with impunity. But not so with the law of God. The deepest midnight is no cover for the guilty one. He may think himself alone, but to every deed there is an unseen witness. The very motives of his heart are open to divine inspection. Every act, every word, every thought, is as distinctly marked as though there were only one person in the whole world, and the attention of heaven were centered upon him." -PP 217.4

Prevost surprises as first US pope, takes name Leo XIV
The bells of St. Peter's rang out, signalling that cardinals have elected a new pope to succeed Pope Francis and take charge of the Roman Catholic Church.
🇺🇸 1st American pope was just elected 🇺🇸
Why is this an important event?
With religious revivals taking place and Christian nationalism surging in the US an American pope is a great addition for Trump's Catholic administration. It means that we are much closer for the last prophecies to be fulfilled. National Sunday Laws have a great chance of making a comeback now.

Interesting fact:
At the time of the initial agitation surrounding the National Sunday Law in 1888, the head of the Catholic Church was Pope Leo XIII; today, the Church is led by Pope Leo XIV.

An American pope signals an unprecedented merger of the two prophetic beasts. No longer merely symbolic, the lamblike beast and the sea beast are now embodied in a single influential figure. This development cannot be overstated. The United States, once a beacon of religious freedom and separation of church and state, is now positioned to act as both the enforcer and the originator of policies that reflect not the values of liberty but of religious control.
This convergence is intensified by current political developments. The sitting U.S. president has been vigorously advocating for policies that align America more closely with evangelical religious views. Among these efforts is a growing emphasis on Sunday observance, positioned as a national moral reform under the guise of unity and tradition. These initiatives, long championed by the religious right, now find a perfect partner in an American pope whose so-called moral authority will sway both civil and religious minds. The synergy between American political will and papal influence will bring about a legislative environment where church and state walk hand in hand, fulfilling the prophetic pattern.
For centuries, the papacy was a distinctly European institution, shaped by the dynamics of European monarchies and political struggles. The election of Pope John Paul II, the first non-Italian pope in 455 years, was no accident. His Polish identity and fierce opposition to atheistic communism made him a strategic asset. With American political backing, John Paul II helped catalyze the collapse of the Soviet bloc, not simply for the sake of democracy, but to remove barriers to papal influence in the East.
The fall of communism was not the end; it was a doorway. With Europe open and Latin America already heavily influenced by Catholicism, the strategic rise of a Latin American pope—Francis—pushed the agenda of it's so-called moral authority through ecological, economic, and social justice platforms. Now, the election of an American pope is the culmination of this strategy: influence has shifted westward, into the hands of the world’s most powerful nation. One must ask: to what end?
Revelation 13:11-12 describes the second beast as having "two horns like a lamb" but speaking "as a dragon." Horns, in biblical prophecy, represent power and authority, and the lamblike appearance suggests a profession of peace and liberty. Yet, the speech betrays the character. Could the election of an American pope signal the beginning of this dual-natured deception?
This pope, raised in the context of American ideals and politics, will have unique access to the corridors of American power. Unlike any previous pontiff, he will be welcomed not only as a spiritual leader but as a native statesman. His voice will echo not from Rome alone, but from Washington. Policies on religious freedom, Sunday observance, and moral legislation are no longer distant possibilities—they will be shaped from within.
Behind the visible papal transitions lies the less visible but highly influential role of the Jesuit order. Founded to counter the Protestant Reformation, the Jesuits have worked for centuries through education, diplomacy, and infiltration to restore the papal supremacy. Their motto, "For the greater glory of God," has historically masked a strategic and often covert operation to align world systems under Rome’s control. The current American pope is not a coincidence but a calculated move to consolidate global influence through spiritual sophistication and political access; this is has been for decades the workings of the Jesuits.
Ellen White warned, "The Jesuits are well-known for their insidious behavior, their zeal to infiltrate institutions, and their capacity to manipulate and control for papal advancement" (The Great Controversy, p. 234). She also wrote, "Romanism is now regarded by Protestants with far greater favor than in former years... the Roman Church is far-reaching in her plans and modes of operation" (GC, p. 565).

Daniel 7:25 speaks of a power that would "think to change times and laws." Historically, the papacy fulfilled this by substituting the biblical Sabbath for Sunday, a change it claims as a mark of its authority. Revelation 14:9-12 gives a final warning against receiving the mark of the beast, which is enforced Sunday observance in defiance of God’s law.
In the United States, a growing number of Protestant evangelicals have been pushing for national Sunday legislation under the banner of "returning to God." Sunday blue laws have never entirely disappeared, and in some regions, they are seeing renewed support. This push, combined with the rising moral crises and natural disasters, forms fertile ground for a national Sunday law under the guise of unity and climate rest.
Ellen White foresaw such a scenario: "When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power... our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution... then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near" (GC, p. 588).
Everything the Catholic Church does is intentional. History shows that the papacy never relinquishes power; it merely changes its garments. From Constantine to Charlemagne, from Pius IX to John Paul II, every strategic shift was to gain broader influence. Now, with an American pontiff, the Church no longer needs to influence the world's most powerful nation from the outside—it can do so from within.
Questions must be asked:
- Will American policy begin to reflect more papal priorities?
- Will ecumenism become not just spiritual, but legislative?
- Will religious liberty be redefined under the guise of moral unity?
Revelation 13:15 warns that the image of the beast will be formed and that those who do not worship the beast or its image will be killed. The image is a system mirroring the union of church and state that once defined papal supremacy. The seeds of that image are now germinating in plain sight.
A Call to Discernment:
This is not a time for silence or indifference. The rise of an American pope is a trumpet blast in the unfolding of prophetic events. It demands spiritual vigilance and biblical discernment. We are not witnessing random geopolitical events but a divinely foreseen and foretold sequence of movements leading to the final test.
History teaches. Prophecy warns.
The future looms.
He who has ears, let him hear.
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark..." (Revelation 13:16)

Prophetic Implications of the Newly Elected American Pope: A CONVERGENCE OF POWER "The Lamblike Beast & The Sea Beast" — The Image Is Forming
The election of an American to the papal throne marks a moment of enormous prophetic significance. Bible prophecy, when viewed in the light of Daniel and Revelation, unveils a clear convergence of church and state power that is not coincidental but calculated. Revelation 13 speaks of two beasts—one rising out of the sea (representing the papal power with its European and ecclesiastical roots) and the other out of the earth, with two horns like a lamb but speaking as a dragon (representing a nation characterized by apparent freedom and gentleness, but which will ultimately enforce worship contrary to the law of God - The USA). For centuries, these powers were seen as distinct, but their interests are now converging before our eyes.

When the new pope Leo XIV spoke to the cardinals he said:
"Sensing myself called to continue in this same path, I chose to take the name Leo XIV. There are different reasons for this, but mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution. In our own day, the Church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour." - Address of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV to the College of Cardinals, May 10, 2025
What does the encyclical Rerum Novarum say?
"39. When work people have recourse to a strike and become voluntarily idle, it is frequently because the hours of labor are too long, or the work too hard, or because they consider their wages insufficient. The grave inconvenience of this not uncommon occurrence should be obviated by public remedial measures; for such paralysing of labor not only affects the masters and their work people alike, but is extremely injurious to trade and to the general interests of the public; moreover, on such occasions, violence and disorder are generally not far distant, and thus it frequently happens that the public peace is imperiled. The laws should forestall and prevent such troubles from arising; they should lend their influence and authority to the removal in good time of the causes which lead to conflicts between employers and employed.
40. The working man, too, has interests in which he should be protected by the State; and first of all, there are the interests of his soul. [...] No man may with impunity outrage that human dignity which God Himself treats with great reverence, nor stand in the way of that higher life which is the preparation of the eternal life of heaven. Nay, more; no man has in this matter power over himself. To consent to any treatment which is calculated to defeat the end and purpose of his being is beyond his right; he cannot give up his soul to servitude, for it is not man's own rights which are here in question, but the rights of God, the most sacred and inviolable of rights.
41. From this follows the obligation of the cessation from work and labor on Sundays and certain holy days. The rest from labor is not to be understood as mere giving way to idleness; much less must it be an occasion for spending money and for vicious indulgence, as many would have it to be; but it should be rest from labor, hallowed by religion. Rest (combined with religious observances) disposes man to forget for a while the business of his everyday life, to turn his thoughts to things heavenly, and to the worship which he so strictly owes to the eternal Godhead. It is this, above all, which is the reason arid motive of Sunday rest; a rest sanctioned by God's great law of the Ancient Covenant-"Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath day,"(31) and taught to the world by His own mysterious "rest" after the creation of man: "He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." - Rerum Novarum
The Mark of the Beast, which is Sunday worship enforced by law could be implemented under Leo XIV.

Don’t believe the lie that today’s youth are lost. They are searching—but so did the generations before them. What they need is not more condemnation, but more conviction, clarity, and calling. They crave truth, not tradition. They hunger for relevance without compromise. They are the Davids, the Esthers, the Daniels of this age—flawed but fire-filled. Don’t write them off. Pour into them. Empower them. Call out their greatness early. This generation will not be the end—they are the ignition.
