A recent August 5, 2025, Gallup poll has ranked Pope Leo XIV as the most favorably viewed among 14 major newsmakers, revealing a dramatic rise in global admiration for the Papacy. This surge in popularity is not just a political or religious trend—it is part of the unfolding prophetic landscape in these last days. Revelation foretells that “all the world wondered after the beast” (Revelation 13:3), pointing to a time when the Papacy would regain its influence and receive the admiration of the masses. The fact that an American pope now tops such a prominent public opinion survey highlights the accelerating fulfillment of this prophecy, as the world continues to look to Rome for moral leadership, unity, and solutions in a time of global crisis. This growing reverence is a clear sign of the times and should awaken God’s people to the nearness of the final events.
The Gallup poll revealed the following:
• “Among 14 prominent U.S. and global figures, Pope Leo XIV has the most positive image by far, with many more Americans viewing him favorably than unfavorably.” [1]
• “His (Pope Leo’s) 57% favorable rating and 11% unfavorable rating result in a +46 net-favorable score, far ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (+18) and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (+11).” [1]
• “Other newsmakers rated more negatively than positively are Biden (-11), Vice President JD Vance (-11), California Gov. Gavin Newsom (-11), Hegseth (-12), Trump (-16) and Secretary of State Marco Rubio (-16).” [1]
• “Pope Leo has broad appeal in the U.S., setting him apart from public figures with clear party associations, whose images are often highly polarized. Although liked by all party groups, he gets better ratings from Democrats and liberals than Republicans and conservatives.” [1]
The books of Daniel and Revelation, identifies the Papacy as the prophetic “beast” power (Revelation 13) that once held dominance during the Dark Ages and is foretold to regain its global influence in the last days. This new Gallup poll result is a striking reflection of that prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes. It shows that the Papacy is not just tolerated or respected—it is admired, even in nations like the United States, which were founded on principles of religious liberty and separation of church and state.
From a historical standpoint, the Protestant Reformation unmasked the abuses and doctrinal errors of the Papal system. But today, that protest has largely ended. The current admiration for Pope Leo XIV is evidence that the world is being conditioned to once again look to the Papacy for moral leadership, unity, and spiritual direction. This acceptance sets the stage for the enforcement of religious decrees, including the Sunday laws foretold in Revelation 13:16-17, which the Bible reveals to be a sign of allegiance to the beast power.
And the fact that Americans—who traditionally champion religious freedom—are viewing the Pope so favorably signals that even the United States, the second beast of Revelation 13:11, is moving into prophetic alignment with Rome. When public opinion is so overwhelmingly positive, it becomes easier for political and religious powers to unite, just as prophesied. The new poll is a prophetic mile marker. It shows that the world is being prepared to embrace the Papacy again, fulfilling Revelation’s vision of a time when religious tradition will be exalted above God’s law, and those who remain faithful to the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus will face increasing pressure and persecution.
“The world is filled with storm and war and variance. Yet under one head—the papal power—the people will unite to oppose God in the person of His witnesses. This union is cemented by the great apostate. While he seeks to unite his agents in warring against the truth” (Testimonies, Vol. 7, p. 182).

Thank you for the writeup. We need present truth today.
It’s amazing how well has the enemy of all good blindfolded the eyes of the masses?? Since when did the Christian Church become a popularity contest? Indeed “darkness covers the Earth and Gross darkness the people” Isa 60:2. This is clear proof that the prince of this world has done a very good job with the Media. He has bought and paid for all the MSM. NOW it’s almost as if “… the world is wondering after the Beast” Rev 13:3 and shouting out loud ” …. who is able to make war with him”. In other words.. “who is able to compete with him to become the absolute ruler of the world? ”
It’s fulfilment of prophecy that the mortal wound of the Beast is almost healed! What’s next? Enthronement or accession of her position at the UN as the only entity with the “moral authority” and centuries of diplomatic experience coupled with the credible relevant sustainable policies to save the planet from the multitude crises we are confronting.
Time is short!!
