Prophet makes disturbing prediction for 2025: ‘There will be war’

A Christian prophet who claims to see visions from God has made a disturbing prediction for 2025: “There will be war.”

Pastor Joshua Giles, founder of the Kingdom Embassy Worship Center in Minneapolis, told DailyMail.com that he has been receiving visions, dreams and messages from God since childhood.

He had visions in the summer of 2023 about what will happen next year, which he said showed an increase in violence in the US.

He said: “One of the recent prophecies I shared was about the increasing terrorist attacks I saw against the US. I believe there will be more darkness and evil on the rise.”

This is not the pastor’s first prediction. In 2020 – years before violence broke out between Israel and Hamas in October 2023 – he saw “another outbreak of violence and war” in Israel and the Middle East.

While some visions and messages are bleak, Giles says the coming year will also be a time of hope.

“I saw certain cures that were coming for common diseases that people thought would be incurable, and that doctors were saying were incurable,” he explained.

“I saw that we were entering a period of advancement in medicine and technology where certain cancers would be cured and other diseases would be cured.”

He said it is not a “grim vision” for the world, but it is a “bittersweet” time with a mixture of darkness, light and hope.

“I was told that 2025 would have the potential to usher in an era of war for the world, and I know what we saw in Ukraine and Israel, but I did see a broadening of those conflicts in certain areas.” Giles said.

“I’ve been praying about this period before we got here, praying for peace and just, you know, believing that some of these things can be averted.

“God showed me that these conflicts had the potential to evolve into something broader that could attract America and other countries.”

The prophecies for 2025 had been haunting his mind for almost five years and came to him during prayer.

He told this website that he has now been approached by people from the government about his predictions.

He said, “One of the recent prophecies that I shared was about the increasing terrorist attacks that I was seeing against the United States, and so I really believe that this is just an era of that, that we’re kind of entering a bit of a crisis now. I believe there will be more darkness and evil on the rise.”

But Giles said there are reasons to hope.

“I would encourage everyone to focus on the good because there is a lot of good in the world,” he said.

Giles added: “When I get the opportunity to meet people, I travel across the lands preaching and sharing the Gospel, meeting people from every cultural background.

“I’ve been to over thirty countries, and there’s so much more hope and love and goodness in the people, and some of the darkness and evil that we see, I think that’s amplified.

“I believe that God will give us all the wisdom and peace to navigate when challenges arise, like some of these visions I have shared.”
