Dec 25 ‘End Of World’ Claim Proven False; Who Is The Ghana ‘Prophet’ Behind The Viral Prophecy?
A self-proclaimed prophet in Ghana has once again found himself in the spotlight after revising his dramatic prediction about the end of the world. Ebo Enoch, who had warned that a devastating flood would destroy everything on December 25, has now claimed that the disaster was not cancelled but only delayed. According to him, God has granted more time to complete his work and spread his message.
His earlier warning triggered panic among followers, many of whom travelled to Elmina to see the large wooden arks he was building as protection from the alleged flood. When Christmas Day passed without incident, Enoch released a new explanation, insisting that the prophecy still stands just at a later date.
The Prophecy That Sparked Fear
In August, Enoch shared a YouTube video titled What Will Happen and How It Will Happen, in which he claimed to have received a divine vision. He said nonstop rain would begin on December 25 and continue for three years, flooding entire regions. According to him, God instructed him to build arks so that believers could be saved.
In several videos, Enoch was seen constructing boats and repeatedly claimed that he had already built 10 arks. Heavy rainfall in parts of Ghana around the same period made his warning seem believable to many, prompting people to take his message seriously.
‘The Disaster Has Been Delayed,’ Says Enoch
After his prediction failed to come true, Enoch appeared in a fresh video saying the catastrophe had only been postponed. He claimed that his prayers and fasting led to another vision, during which he was told that more time had been given.
“I’ve prayed, I’ve fasted, I’ve donated and I’ve built and through my prayers, I had another vision and in that vision. So I shared my vision with some great men of god. So, God has given us some time to build more arks, in addition to the 10, to contain all of us. I’m not selling tickets, I’m not taking money from anyone, so please stay home, enjoy yourself, have fun,” he said.
Enoch also stated that the ark project would now be expanded to accommodate more people who wish to be saved.
Followers Left Stranded And Upset
The announcement left several followers confused and distressed. A video circulating online shows a man from Liberia who travelled to Ghana hoping to board one of the arks. He is now reportedly stuck in Elmina, unsure of what will happen next.
In another incident, a man whose wife and family had relocated near the ark site reportedly felt cheated after the apocalypse was delayed. In frustration, he allegedly set fire to a structure, only to later realise that the ark did not belong to Enoch. He later expressed regret over the incident.
Luxury Car Raises Fresh Questions
Despite Enoch’s repeated claims that he never asked for money or sold tickets, reports suggest otherwise. According to multiple reports, he allegedly used donations from followers to purchase a luxury Mercedes worth about $89,000 (around ₹79 lakh). Pictures of the car have since gone viral, sparking criticism and raising serious questions about how the funds were used.
Videos showing Enoch inspecting the arks and walking around the site had earlier strengthened belief in his claims. For many followers, these visuals made the prophecy seem real and convincing.
Why Many Believed The Warning
Observers say the prophecy gained traction because of heavy rains across several parts of Ghana, which heightened fears of flooding. The weather conditions appeared to support Enoch’s claims, pushing many to believe that the disaster he warned about was imminent.
With the predicted flood failing to arrive and scrutiny mounting over his actions and finances, Ebo Enoch’s story continues to attract attention leaving followers torn between faith, doubt, and disappointment.
