As if the job of becoming the new pope wasn't going to be tough enough already, some supposed 'prophet' has claimed that the next wearer of the Vatican's fanciest hat is going to be in for a hell of a time.
Even those who were not Catholic were able to find much about Pope Francis to respect, making him a difficult act to follow in the eyes of the world.
The late pope's funeral has been held, the Catholic church is in official mourning for him and next month there will be a conclave to decide who the next one is.

Whether he's someone who will attempt to follow in the footsteps of Pope Francis or take the church in another direction depends on who is picked.
One guy who predicts that it'll be bad whomever they choose is an American man named Brandon Dale Biggs, who previously claimed he saw a vision from God that told him someone would attempt to assassinate Donald Trump.
The Oklahoma man claimed his vision showed that the 'bullet flew by [Trump's] ear', though he also claimed that in the vision Trump 'fell to his knees' and 'started worshipping the Lord', which didn't happen.
According to the Daily Mail, this supposed 'prophet' has come back with another prediction, this time claiming he saw who the next pope would be and what it would mean for humanity.

They report that Biggs claimed he had a dream all the way back in 2014 where he saw the next pope, a slender white man dressed in the traditional papal clothes, standing next to the Antichrist that will herald judgement day (not the kind from Terminator 2).
Apparently the Antichrist was wearing darker clothes, and Biggs alleged that he got a new vision at the start of this year telling him 'that judgement would begin in the house of the Lord first'.
Despite this, he claims he didn't see the death of Pope Francis coming, however.
He's not the only person claiming to be a 'prophet' who has been shown visions by God, though another guy who claimed to see the future said he was shown how to win in casinos.

Really, one ought to give all of this 'antichrist' stuff a very doubtful gaze, if you think that the end of the world is nigh and we're all about to be judged then so be it, but don't expect everyone else to be on board.
There have been other prophecies which claim to know what will happen with the next pope that have been dismissed by experts.
