Has Jesus Returned????????

I don’t know if you guys are familiar with St Malachy’s Prophecy. It is a 900 year old prophecy. God gave a vision to a man 900 years ago which listed the names of what would be the next 112 popes until return of Jesus. Pope Benedict is listed as the 111th name on the list. The next name after Pope Benedict is Peter. This prophecy has run with 100% accuracy. Every single name that was listed on the prophecy has come to pass exactly as the prophecy foretold. The first man who was Pope was named Peter, and there has never been one named Peter since. Now the last name on the list is Peter as well. In the Book of Revelation it states that Jesus is the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Jesus was responsible for Peter being the first, and now this prophecy has another Peter listed as the last name. To me that sounds like “the first and the last…the beginning and the end”
Here is a link to Wikipedia which describes the prophecy in case you are unfamiliar with the prophecy:

I was searching through Youtube to see if there was information on this prophecy, and I came across a video which claims that a man by the name of Peter has been identified on May 8th 2011, who is the final name on the list. If you watch the following video it will tell you about the prophecy:

    This is a really bad attempt at whoring a book out.

    Man, reading that wikipedia page is hilarious.
    The prophecy was first published in 1595 by Arnold de Wyon, a Benedictine historian, as part of his book Lignum Vitæ.
    It is notable that where the interpretation of the prophecy is clear (as is the case for almost all of the Popes prior to 1590), the reference is almost always to some characteristic possessed by the Pope prior to assuming the Papacy—e.g., his birthplace, his arms, his surname, or his cardinal see. However, for more recent Popes, efforts to connect the prophecy with the pope have often focused on the events of his pontificate.

    Oh gee, all the predictions of popes from before this was published were clear and accurate, and the ones afterward are vague and only make sense in hindsight?
