Evangelist Perry Stone delves into a unique blend of biblical numerology and U.S. politics in a recent YouTube video, connecting Hebrew letters and their numerical values to the presidency of Donald Trump. Stone describes his findings as both “stunning” and indicative of divine intervention in the nation’s affairs.
Stone begins by revisiting the 2016 presidential election, where Trump became the 45th president of the United States. Drawing on his expertise in Hebrew studies, Stone explains that Hebrew letters carry numerical values, and the numbers 40 and five correspond to the letters “Mem” and “He,” respectively. Together, they form the Hebrew word “Ma,” which translates to “what.” Stone recalls the widespread astonishment following Trump’s victory, saying, “My prediction on the election of 2016 was people after the election will say, ‘What? How did this happen?’” He notes that even Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly echoed this sentiment the next day, stating, “What? How did this happen?”

Stone ties this insight to a prophecy he shared in his 2021 book, where he likened Trump’s presidency to the biblical story of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4. In the prophecy, Trump is symbolized as a tree cut down but with roots left in the ground. Stone elaborates, “The Trump stump and roots are deep in the soil of America, and in time, with humility and wisdom, he will either return to an important position, form a new political party or watch a new tree grow out of the Trump stump.”
Building on this foundation, Stone analyzes the number 47, which could represent Trump’s return as the 47th president. He explains that 47 corresponds to “Mem” (40) and “Zayin” (seven). When combined with 45, they form the Hebrew word “Mes,” which Stone says means “a gift from God.” He reflects on the significance of this discovery, asking, “How would him being reelected be a gift from God?”
For Stone, the answer lies in what he describes as a divine reprieve. He defines a reprieve as a judicial act that halts impending judgment. “Many people believe that the gift from God for us would be that we have received reprieve,” he says. Stone cites biblical examples, including Hezekiah’s extended life and Nineveh’s spared destruction, to underscore the possibility of a similar reprieve for America.
However, Stone warns against complacency, urging viewers to recognize the spiritual battle ahead. “The battle is not over. The cultural, spiritual, moral battle of America is only starting,” he says. He also calls for humility, repentance, and national unity, adding, “We need to ask God to forgive us of our national sins, personal sins, sins within the church, and just really humble ourselves before God.”
Through his exploration of Hebrew numerology and prophecy, Stone presents Trump’s presidency as part of a larger divine narrative, leaving viewers with both a challenge and a call to action. “We believe, now here’s the question: What do we do with the reprieve? Do we just sit back on our hands and do nothing? No, we have to continue to fight.”
