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.
Are you ready for the greatest crisis?
Are you ready to defend your faith?
Are you ready to meet Christ?
Live like the second coming was to take place tomorrow.

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.

OUR NEIGHBORS.
"Somebody near you is struggling alone
Over life's desert sand;
Faith, hope, and courage together are gone;
Reach him a helping hand
Turn on his darkness a beam of your light;
Kindle, to guide him, a beacon fire bright;
Cheer his discouragement, soothe his affright,
Lovingly help him to stand.
Somebody near you is hungry and cold;
Send him some aid to-day;
Somebody near you is feeble and old,
Left without human stay.
Under his burdens put hands kind and strong;
Speak to him tenderly, sing him a song;
Haste to do something to help him along
Over his weary way.
Dear one, be busy, for time fleeth fast,
Soon it will all be gone;
Soon will our season of service be past,
Soon will our day be done.
Somebody near you needs now a kind word;
Some one needs help, such as you can afford;
Haste to assist in the name of the Lord;
There may be a soul to he won."
