A River around Tokyo
In this Century, the World and the Vatican to Undergo drastic Changes
In Fatima, Virgin Mary gave three prophecies to Lucia, etc., one of which was related to the coming end of WWI and another was the prediction of coming WWII. But, Lucia made secret the third prophecy, while other children died soon after the apparition. Lucia wrote down the third prophecy and gave it to a priest who sent it to the Vatican. However Lucia told the Vatican not to disclose it until her death or after 1960.
Successive Popes read the third prophecy but decided not to disclose it even after 1960. And, in 1961 Virgin Mary appeared in Garabandal, also delivering similar messages to Conchita and other girls. Then, in 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis occurred between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, threatening the world with a possibility of a nuclear war.
But, the Vatican continued not to publish the third prophecy of Fatima. And, Pope John Paul II was shot in an assassination attempt in May 1981, then Virgin Mary appeared in Medjugorje in June 1981, also delivering similar messages to some girls and boys. However, it was 2000 that Pope John Paul II decided to publish the third prophecy of Fatima with Vatican's opinion that the third prophecy was related to the past assassination attempt of Pope John Paul II. Then the 9/11 Terror Attack occurred in 2001, and in 2005, both Pope John Paul II and Lucia (who had become a nun under the Vatican) died without fully disclosing any more comments on the third prophecy of Fatima.
So, it was about 20 years from the apparition in Fatima to WWII. It was also about 20 years from 1960, one of the deadline set by Lucia, to the assassination attempt of Pope John Paul II in 1981. And, it will be 2025 that is 20 years after the death of Lucia, another deadline set by Lucia. Therefore, we had better be alert to the expansion of the current war in Ukraine and the still ongoing corona-pandemic.
In 1962, Virgin Mary told Conchita in Garabandal that after the current pope, Pope Paul VI, there could be only two other popes, superficially meaning John Paul I and John Paul II. However, the succession of the pope continued as Jon Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis. Yet, Jon Paul I died 33 days after his accession to the papacy, and Benedict XVI resigned the papacy after about 9 years of serving. Therefore, it is only John Paul II and Francis that have satisfied conditions of being a pope to fully satisfy the responsibility of dedicating one's life wholly to the papacy for enough long time. In addition, only Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis have ever visited Japan as pope.
Anyway, as Malachi's prophecy tells, the current pope Francis could be the last pope. In this century, the world and the Vatican should undergo drastic changes as Virgin Mary prophesized.

Luke 5, King James Version
5 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
