Did God speak to his prophets about the next Pope years ahead of time?
In a recent video by prophetic voice Charlie Shamp, he shared a vision he had back on May 19, 2018, in which he saw the end of Pope Francis’ life. After this, however, he says he saw what the following pope would be like.

According to Shamp, the vision was given to him while praying late at night. “I was taken to the Vatican and particularly to St. Peter’s Basilica,” he says. There, he saw Pope Francis “sitting in Peter’s chair,” appearing “very, very sick,” and visibly deteriorating. “He seemed to be wounded and unable to recover,” Shamp recalls. Suddenly, Francis was removed from the throne, and another figure took his place.

This new pope, Shamp says, carried a troubling presence. “He claimed to carry the keys of the kingdom,” says Shamp, describing him as youthful and charismatic, yet “clever, cunning, and deceptive.” He adds, “His face seemed to be like a stone and he claimed to be like a rock.” Shamp expressed deep concern, saying, “I knew he would be far worse than Pope Francis.”
Shamp believes the timing and identity of this new pope are prophetically significant. “I don’t believe that it’s by any accident that he was chosen as an American… to bring a conflict against what God is now doing in the United States of America.” He warned that the newly elected pope could be part of a broader effort by globalist forces to oppose a coming Third Great Awakening.
“We desperately need to pray and trust the Lord for the outpouring of revival and that any sort of deception that would attempt to come through this pope would be broken,” says Shamp.

As history unfolds before our eyes, Charlie Shamp’s vision serves as both a prophetic warning and a call to spiritual vigilance. While the world celebrates the surprise election of the first American pope, Shamp urges believers not to be swept up in the excitement but to discern the times with prayerful clarity. In a moment when global influence and spiritual authority converge, Shamp’s message is clear: the church must rise in intercession, reject deception and contend for the revival God intends for this generation.
