A Christian prophet who claims to have seen visions from God has posted a disturbing prediction for 2025: “There will be war.”
Preacher Joshua Giles, founder of Kingdom Embassy Worship Center in Minneapolis, told DailyMail.com that he has been receiving visions, dreams and messages from God since he was a young child.
He began having visions in the summer of 2023 about what would come next year, which he said showed increasing violence in the United States.
“One of the recent prophecies I shared was about the increase in terrorist attacks that I saw against the United States,” he said. “I believe there will be more darkness or evil on the rise.
This is not the first prediction made by the pastor. And in 2020 – years before the outbreak of violence between Israel and Hamas in October 2023 – saw “the outbreak of violence and war again” in Israel and the Middle East.
While some of the visions and messages are bleak, Giles said next year will also be a time of hope.
“I’ve seen some treatments that could come for common diseases that people thought were incurable, and doctors said were incurable,” he explained.
“You saw us entering a period of progress in medicine and technology where there would be certain types of cancer that could be treated and other diseases that would be treatable.”

Instead of being a “bleak vision” of the world, he said, it is a “bittersweet” time with a mixture of darkness, light and hope.
He added: “I was told that the year 2025 will have the potential to be the gateway to an era of war in the world, and I know what we saw in Ukraine and Israel, but I saw an expansion of those conflicts in certain regions.” Giles said.
“I’ve been praying all this time before we got here, praying for peace and, you know, thinking that some of these things can be avoided.
“God has shown me that these struggles will have the power to bring about something broader that may attract America and other nations.”
The prophecies of 2025 have been swirling around in his head for nearly five years, which he said came to him during prayer.
He told this website that he has since been contacted by people in government about his predictions.
“One of the last prophecies that I shared was about the escalation of terrorist attacks that I saw against the United States, and so I really believe that this is just an era of that, and that we are about to enter a new era,” he said. We believe there will be more darkness or evil to rise.
But Giles said there are reasons for hope.

“I would encourage anyone to focus on the good, because there is a lot of good in the world,” he said.
Giles added: ‘When I have the opportunity to meet people, I travel across nations to preach and share the gospel, meeting people from all cultural backgrounds.
I’ve been to over 30 countries, and there’s so much hope and love and goodness in people, and I think some of the darkness and evil that we see is magnified.
“I believe God will give us all the wisdom and peace to deal when challenges arise, like some of these insights I’ve shared.”
