Ghanaian self-styled prophet Ebo Noah, popularly known as Ebo Jesus, has announced a dramatic postponement of his doomsday prophecy, which had predicted the end of the world would occur on December 25, 2025.
In a message to his followers, the prophet claimed that God has responded to prayers and granted a divine extension to allow for the completion of additional “Noah’s Arks,” which he says are intended to save humanity from global destruction.
The announcement comes as crowds from across Africa continue to arrive at his compound in Ghana, many of them with children, luggage and personal belongings, hoping to secure a place on the arks. Videos circulating online show long queues of followers, some barefoot, others in prayer, waiting to board the wooden vessels, believing they are part of a divine rescue plan.
Ebo Noah said the sudden surge in followers overwhelmed his initial preparations, as the current arks under construction are unable to accommodate the thousands now seeking refuge. According to him, each ark is being built to hold up to 5,000 people. So far, he claims to have invested nearly £250,000 into the project, which includes at least ten wooden structures stationed in an undisclosed part of Ghana.
Despite the mass following, criticism has been swift and unrelenting. Skeptics have raised questions about the safety and viability of the arks, noting their lack of engines, steering systems or verified structural soundness. Some argue that the funds spent could have been redirected to support education, health or humanitarian initiatives in rural communities.

Biblical scholars have also weighed in, referencing Genesis 9:11, which promises there will be no future flood to destroy the earth. They suggest that Ebo Noah’s message contradicts central Christian doctrine. But the prophet remains undeterred, insisting that his vision is not about water but divine judgment in a broader form.
In a firm response to the backlash, Ebo Noah declared that he is acting on a direct vision from God and has no intention of backing down. He said the extra time is a sign of mercy, not failure, and that his mission is far from over.
He continues to call for support from believers, asking for donations and labor to complete the construction of additional arks. As the revised doomsday date remains unclear, followers have begun camping around the site, waiting for further instructions.
The unfolding spectacle has drawn growing attention across Africa and beyond, sparking fresh debates around religious extremism, spiritual manipulation, and the power of prophecy in modern society.
