I have always believed from the following that 444 represents the destruction of the worlds oldest continuael city, Damascus. I keep seeing this myself and now that one day it will occur just like it says in Isaiah 17.   GEMATRIA

This is too large a subject to enter on here, but it is most significant that we get the number four in its concentrated form in connection with q#&em@ed@a, DAMASCUS, which is the oldest city in the world. The number of its name is 444: thus—

d =	4	444
m =	40
# =	300
q =	100

 

This is a very old gematria from Bullinger who wrote a book on biblical numerology a long time ago.
