A self styled Ghanaian prophet, Ebo Noah popularly known online as Ebo Jesus, has dramatically reversed his widely publicised prediction that a catastrophic global flood would begin on Christmas Day 2025, admitting barely hours to the date that the supposed end of the world has been postponed.
Ebo Noah, who went viral across Africa and beyond in recent months after constructing several wooden structures he described as modern versions of Noah’s Ark, had repeatedly warned that the world would be submerged in water for three years starting December 25, 2025. His claims triggered intense online debate, ridicule from critics and fear among a small but devoted group of followers, some of whom were reported to have sold belongings and made plans to travel to Ghana in preparation for the prophesied disaster.
In a new video released on Christmas Day, the prophet announced a sudden change in divine instruction. According to him, after periods of prayer, fasting and consultations with other religious figures, God had decided to give humanity more time. He claimed he received a fresh revelation showing large crowds from around the world rushing toward the arks, but that the existing structures were not sufficient to accommodate them. On this basis, he declared that the flood would no longer commence as earlier announced, saying more arks now needed to be built.
Ebo Noah urged people not to panic, insisting he was not collecting money, selling tickets or asking anyone to rush to his location. He told followers to remain at home, celebrate Christmas and enjoy themselves, adding that the delay was an act of divine mercy rather than a failure of prophecy.
The announcement has sparked widespread reactions across social media, with many Nigerians and Ghanaians mocking the reversal as a classic case of a failed doomsday prediction. Critics were quick to point out that the Bible itself records a covenant in the Book of Genesis in which God promised never again to destroy the world with a flood, stating instead that the end would come by fire. Others questioned the credibility of the prophet, especially after images and videos surfaced online showing him in a newly acquired luxury vehicle shortly before the predicted apocalypse.
Despite the international online attention, reports from Ghana indicate that there was no mass panic on the ground, with many locals dismissing the entire episode as social media theatrics or content creation. Religious commentators have also condemned the prophecy, warning against fear driven teachings that exploit vulnerable people under the guise of divine revelation.
As Christmas Day passes without any sign of a global flood, the episode has reignited conversations about false prophecies, accountability among religious leaders and the growing influence of viral religious content in the digital age. For many observers, the sudden postponement has only reinforced the need for skepticism and discernment when extraordinary claims are made in the name of faith.
For now, the world remains as it was, Christmas celebrations continue across continents, and the predicted apocalypse has quietly joined the long list of doomsday prophecies that came and went without consequence.
