Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has rejected negotiations with the U.S. under threats, telling President Donald Trump to "do whatever the hell you want," according to Iranian state media on March 11th. Strong words. Zero diplomacy. Iran is on a war footing. Israel and America are prepared to bomb Iran to smithereens. Can an explosive Middle East war be avoided? Iran's defiance shows it has something up its sleeve. Nuclear bomb perhaps? The world is standing on the edge of a precipice.
2025 may go down in history as the year when nukes go off in global conflicts, 80 years after two atomic bombs -- "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" -- dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and obliterated them. Numerous Bible codes point to this year in relations to 666 and the Antichrist. It takes very little for the sabre rattling to escalate, and things may just take a nose dive and descend to the pit.
Is God trying to warn us about this year?
As a rule, God does not reveal future events too explicitly, especially their timing. For good reasons too. No warring state gives advance notice on when it plans to strike its enemy. That is pure lunacy. Satan has been studying the Bible more diligently than any of us. To let slip vital intelligence before a battle is formula for poor outcomes. The element of surprise is absent. Operation Thief-in-the-Night keeps everyone on their toes, believers and unbelievers alike. However, some codes are hidden in plain sight to the effect that "ye will not believe, though it be told you" (Habakkuk 1:5).
One such code is hidden in the 666 beast scripture, Rev 13:18. In this verse, John was trying to help by giving us a tip -- count the number of the beast. This innocuous verb caused countless counting in the last 2000 years, especially more so now as we approach the consummation of the church age with quickening pace. I got a good chuckle last month when the Lord opened my eyes to the Greek for count, pséphizó (ψηφίζω; G5585); it has a gematria of 2025! It beats me why I did not notice before when it was there all along. The code hidden in plain sight is exciting given its end-time relevance and currency.
There are other compelling codes pointing to this year.
Numbering The Book of Numbers
This book is largely unexplored I suspect from the numbers perspective despite the explicit title -- the Book of Numbers. Recently I was truly blessed by an article written by Chuck Missler on the camp of Israel as described in Numbers chapter 2. He discovered the pattern of the Cross by paying close attention to the number of fighting men from the 12 tribes of Israel camping around the Tabernacle in the wilderness!
Numbers do matter to God. Jesus is the Wonderful Numberer. It should not surprise us that numeric codes are hidden in the Book of Numbers. One scripture that stands out in this book is Numbers 10:20 -- its Hebrew gematria is 666. Being the only verse, out of the 31,102 verses of the Bible, that is equal to the number of the beast, it is all the more impressive and worthy of closer investigation.
Tipped off by John concerning this year in relation to the 666 beast, my wondering mind started to search for key 666 Bible codes that might shed light on this year. I was looking for a second witness. Bingo! I found it in Numbers 10:20.
Begin with chapter 1020 on the Bible chapter number line. This chapter is Acts 2; it describes the birth of the church! Count forward 2025 chapters. After two millennia since the start of the church age, we have arrived at the present year 2025. What does the number line indicate? The landing point is chapter 666 in the third Bible !!!!!!
The first quarter of this year is about to be over. In which way will the year end? A whimper or a bang? If the next code is any portent, it is more likely to be a year like no other years up until now.
A Key '666' Bible Code: The Mysterious Number 439
I wrote about this number in this letter: link. It is deeply connected to H666 and G666; it splits the number of Bible chapters in-between them on a number line into 1318 and 666 chapters. It also points to John's 1318th verse -- Rev 18:11 -- the second 666 beast scripture; this verse is verse 439 written by John after the Gospel of John.
Begin with chapter 1105 on the Bible chapter number line; G666 is found in this chapter. Count forward 2025 chapters. The count ends on ch751 in the third Bible. But this is ch439 counting from the end of the Bible! Here, the number 439 is associated with 666 in the year 2025.
Begin with chapter 793 on the Bible chapter number line; the number is the standard Greek gematria of Barack Hussein Obama. Count forward 2025 chapters. The count ends on ch439 in the third Bible! Here, the number 439 is associated with 793 in the year 2025.
Putting two and two together, the number 439 seems to imply the rise of the Antichrist in 2025. If the Middle East powder keg is ignited by nuclear bombs, what is stopping Russia from taking out Ukraine with nukes according to Philip Barnett's Azovmena Prophecy? What is stopping both Russia and China from attacking America with nukes according to Dimitru Duduman's vision? Throw in other theaters of war, the whole world will be on fire in the thick of World War III. When the dust settles, within weeks, the Antichrist will arise.

Doves, don't you find it strange that the leader of the free world keeps talking about World War III and the End of the World of late? Not just President Donald Trump, a host of other political, business, and military leaders have thought aloud the same in mainstream media the past several months: a) Will Ukraine turn into WW3? Macron doesn’t rule it out (Feb 20, 2025; link); b) JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warns World War III has already begun (Oct 29, 2024; link); c) World War III has officially begun, Ukraine’s ex-top general says (Nov 21, 2024; link); d) Kremlin warns US will be risking World War III if it has approved American weapons inside Russia (Nov 18, 2024; link); e) Serbian president says world facing World War III (March 16, 2024; link); and f) Ukraine warns of WW3 (Apr 18, 2024; link).
Trump said some very very ominous words to reporters in the Oval Office last week. "… the next thing you'll be talking about is Iran. What's going to happen with Iran and there'll be some interesting days ahead that's all I can tell you. You know we’re down to final strokes with Iran. That's going to be an interesting time and we'll see what happens but we're down to the final moments. We're at final moments ... can't let them have a nuclear weapon … so anyway … it's going to be a big thing … It's an interesting time in the history of the world but we have a situation with Iran. Something's going to happen very soon -- very very soon. You'll be talking about that pretty soon I guess and hopefully we can have a peace deal … you know I'm not speaking out of strength or weakness. I'm just saying I'd rather see a peace deal than the other but the other will solve the problem.”
Something BIG is coming. It's coming very soon -- very very soon.
Come, Lord Jesus!
