In May, 2025, the College of Cardinals gathered in the Vatican City for a conclave to choose a successor to Pope Francis, who died on April 21, 2025. On May 8, 2025, they elected a new pope, Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope. Could this be a significant prophetic milestone in America’s desire to become a Christian nation?
A good approach to answering that question would be to do an in-depth study of Bible prophecy to understand what Scripture says about America's role in prophecy. It makes sense that the most powerful and influential nation on earth will play a vital role in the final stunning events of the world’s closing history. What's even more surprising is that the Bible reveals how the leading nation of the world came to exist and why!
