Doomsday “Postponed”: Prophet Delays End of the World After Taking Donations
A self-styled prophet in Ghana has stirred controversy after announcing that the end of the world, which he had predicted would occur through a devastating flood on December 25, has been postponed. The man, known as Ebo Noah, told followers that his prayers were answered and that the anticipated rapture has been delayed indefinitely, without offering a new date or explanation.
His announcement came amid reports that he recently acquired a Mercedes-Benz, allegedly using funds donated by believers. Supporters had reportedly contributed money to help construct several ark-like vessels, inspired by biblical accounts, in preparation for the predicted catastrophe. Many followers made serious emotional and financial sacrifices after trusting his warnings.
The sudden reversal of the prophecy has sparked public outrage and criticism, both online and offline. Critics accuse the self-proclaimed prophet of exploiting fear and faith for personal gain, while questioning the transparency of how donations were used. Some former supporters have expressed deep disappointment, confusion, and frustration, saying they feel misled after rearranging their lives around the prediction.
The incident has renewed conversations in Ghana about religious accountability, prophecy, and scrutiny of spiritual leaders who make extraordinary claims that strongly influence followers and affect public trust across communities.
