Pope Francis has emerged as the most celebrated and universally revered figure in the world, as people of all faiths—Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and others—unite in prayer for his swift recovery. His message on interfaith unity and cooperation contained in Fratelli Tutti has inspired millions to see the Vatican as a symbol of peace and moral leadership in these last days. In an unprecedented show of global support, people of all faiths, including political leaders, have offered prayers and well-wishes for the ailing pontiff. This is proof that Bible prophecy is on track to its ultimate completion as more and more faith traditions recognize the Pope of Rome not just as the leader of the Catholic Church, but as the guiding light for a world yearning for unity and hope.
