A Ghanaian man who goes by the name Ebojesus has caused a stir in his community after claiming that the world will end on December 25, 2025. He said God revealed this to him, and he has already started building an ark in preparation for the coming destruction.
The self-proclaimed prophet is constructing a large wooden structure similar to Noah’s ark as described in the Bible. The project, which is taking place in an open area in his village, has drawn attention from curious locals, social media users, and even some religious groups.
In videos circulating online, Ebojesus is seen working on the ark with a small team of supporters. He says he received a divine message warning of a great flood or global disaster that will wipe out humanity on Christmas Day.
According to him, the ark is the only way to survive what he calls the “second cleansing of the earth.” He insists that only those who believe in the message and follow him will be saved.
Ebojesus’ claims have sparked debate and confusion among many Ghanaians and others in neighbouring countries. Some people are mocking him online, calling him a false prophet or mentally unstable. Others are expressing concern, especially those who fear the message may influence vulnerable individuals.
A resident in his community said:
“He’s been preaching this message for some months now. Some people are laughing, but others are taking it seriously. The way he talks, he truly believes it.”
The ark, which is still under construction, is made mostly of wood and metal sheets. Though it’s far from completion, Ebojesus says it will be ready before December.
This is not the first time someone has predicted the end of the world. Over the years, different individuals and religious groups have made similar claims — all of which have proven false.
In 2012, for example, there were global fears about the Mayan calendar predicting the world’s end, but nothing happened. Religious leaders often warn against false prophecies and advise people to focus on living righteously rather than following fear-based messages.
Some Christian leaders in Ghana have also reacted to Ebojesus’ actions. Pastor Samuel Ofori of a local Pentecostal church said:
“The Bible says no one knows the day or hour when the world will end — not even the angels. So we must be careful of people spreading fear in the name of God.”
He added that while God still speaks to people, messages that contradict scripture should not be accepted blindly.
For now, authorities in the area have not stopped the construction, but some say they are keeping an eye on it in case it becomes a public safety issue or causes unrest.
