新上任教宗豪爾赫 · 馬里奧 · 伯格里奧（Jorge Mario Bergoglio）是第一位受命領導教會的耶穌會成員，他選擇的尊號 — 方濟，是為了紀念方濟各會創辦人 — 12世紀亞西西的方濟各。「謙遜、簡樸、忠實、傳統」，伯格裡奧的宗教理念，與聖方濟各修士極為相似。然而，方濟各在臨終前寫下的預言竟隱藏著對末日的描述。

聖方濟各·亞西西 (St．Francis of Assisi，1182年7月5日－1226年10月3日) 是義大利備受愛戴的聖人，原名若望 • 伯爾納道奈，他父親後來把他改名為方濟各。他的父親是位富有的布料商人。年少時方濟各多半花時間在讀書及學習拉丁文上面，也常常喜歡和他的貴族朋友一起吃喝玩樂。可是，他很快地對現實周遭環境有所領悟，在加入了軍隊後卻被抓，當了戰俘，後因患病而獲釋回家。
自此方濟各的思想開始改變，以信仰作為生活的準則，他穿著破舊的外衣，挨戶求乞，四出宣揚福音，並特別關懷弱小的。他創作歌詠，常讚美造物主及大自然，照顧麻瘋病患者，修建聖堂。起初受到眾人的譏笑，但他清貧刻苦的精神吸引了多人與他一起生活，後來更獲賜了五傷的印記。
方濟各在最後兩年在痛苦的生活中渡過，他健康一天比一天惡化，視力大損。 去世前不久，他寫過六份遺囑，那是他給後人的精神遺產。
更甚者，臨終前，他警告他的跟隨者將來有的大災難：

"In Those Days Jesus Christ Will Send Them Not A True Pastor, But A Destroyer."
--St. Francis of Assisi
"1. The time is fast approaching in which there will be great trials and afflictions; perplexities and dissensions, both spiritual and temporal, will abound; the charity of many will grow cold, and the malice of the wicked will increase.
"2. The devils will have unusual power, the immaculate purity of our Order, and of others, will be so much obscured that there will be very few Christians who will obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church with loyal hearts and perfect charity. At the time of this tribulation a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavour to draw many into error and death.
"3. Then scandals will be multiplied, our Order will be divided, and many others will be entirely destroyed, because they will consent to error instead of opposing it.
"4. There will be such diversity of opinions and schisms among the people, the religious and the clergy, that, except those days were shortened, according to the words of the Gospel, even the elect would be led into error, were they not specially guided, amid such great confusion, by the immense mercy of God.
"5. Then our Rule and manner of life will be violently opposed by some, and terrible trials will come upon us. Those who are found faithful will receive the crown of life; but woe to those who, trusting solely in their Order, shall fall into tepidity, for they will not be able to support the temptations permitted for the proving of the elect.
"6. Those who preserve their fervour and adhere to virtue with love and zeal for the truth, will suffer injuries and, persecutions as rebels and schismatics; for their persecutors, urged on by the evil spirits, will say they are rendering a great service to God by destroying such pestilent men from the face of the earth. but the Lord will be the refuge of the afflicted, and will save all who trust in Him. And in order to be like their Head, [Christ] these, the elect, will act with confidence, and by their death will purchase for themselves eternal life; choosing to obey God rather than man, they will fear nothing, and they will prefer to perish rather than consent to falsehood and perfidy.
"7. Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it under foot and deny it.Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor, but a destroyer."

Works of the Seraphic Father
St. Francis of Assisi |
1. 人的愛心變得冷淡，惡人增加。
2. 魔鬼有不尋常的力量，只有小部分的基督徒能夠服從真正的教宗。在這個大災難的時候，將有教皇出現引致錯誤及死亡。
3. 教會分裂，醜聞不斷增加。
4. 分裂和紛爭增加，選民被迷惑。
5. 教會被反對，審判會來到。
6. 在信仰中火熱，堅持的人反被逼害。
7. 一些傳道人會保持沉默，隱瞞事情的真相，又有些人將其信仰踐踏。當那日子來臨，不是主耶穌差來真正的使者，而是毀滅者。
這段預言是方濟各在臨終前作出最後的警告，描述的現場就如今時今日的情景，當天主教出現極多醜聞之時，就是最後一任教皇上任，而這是毀滅者、是末日之時、審判會臨到時間。"In Those Days Jesus Christ Will Send Them Not A True Pastor, But A Destroyer." 這里所指的Destroyer 毀滅者就吻合 Kolbrin Bible 記載傳說中的亞特蘭蒂斯的滅亡，皆由於一顆名為「毀滅者」（Destroyer）的星體接近所做成的。而這粒星體 — Planet X 在 3600年後會再次臨到。所以，只有愛神，在信仰中堅持的人才能勝過挑戰。
