Did anyone actually expect this?

Our new pope is an American.

It fits perfectly with Danie's prophecy of the "Eend of the Age" in the book of Daniel.

The only thing we are missing is a Meteor destroying the USA as Daniel forecasted would happen.

Daniel said a meteor was going to destroy the USA?

@Friendlybro79 Read the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's first dream and then later in the book read the interpretation of Daniel's own dream. At the end of this multi-thousand years "age" that Daniel is describing, the fourth "beast" represents the United States and the toes of the statue of Nebuchadnezzar also represents the United States. The USA is the nation which is "diverse" from all the other nations and which destroys and stamps the residue of every other nation. I mean, we invented nuclear weapons and we literally claimed the "Guano Islands" of the Pacific for ourselves. We have ten times more powerful military (the iron in the vision) than the next most powerful nation, and yet our politics (the clay) is weak as can be.

So the vision says the last great kingdom of the Earth is going to be destroyed by a meteor (A stone cut out without hands,) and only then will the true Messiah be revealed.

I appreciate the explanation and mean this respectfully but it feels like lots of assumptions and stretching going on here. Interpreting things like this are what some consider looking for self fulfilled prophecy's. They can find what they want so it makes sense and then try to manifest them. Not saying you're trying to manifest them to be true but people read these things, become fanatical and see them through. So many things like the Mayan calendar as an example are just nonsense. Let's focus on the free will we have and be better to each other and manifest a better future instead of thinking there's nothing we can do about it. Daniel said so...

Just saying this to provide perspective and dont mean to be rude.
