A Ghanaian man calling himself a prophet has told followers that a global flood will begin on Christmas Day, and he claims to have built multiple arks to survive it.

Ebo Noah, who gained a large social media audience, has been spreading a doomsday warning since August, and he says God instructed him to prepare for nonstop rain starting 25 December 2025. His fans reportedly helped construct wooden vessels described as arks, and he insists these boats will be the only safe refuge when the waters rise. The story has drawn attention because of the scale of the claims and the numbers attached to them.

The claim is simple and dramatic. According to him, God has told him that beginning on 25 December 2025, rain will fall without stopping for three-four years, submerging the entire world. If you’ve heard the parable before, you’ll recognize the blueprint instantly, he has more or less torn it straight from Noah’s page: the warning, the deadline, even the instructions. He says animals has been in to build arks, not just one, but as many as ten. Those who join him before the rain begins, including anyone from anywhere in the world as they enter into a covenant with God

Among many other such posts, one on X claims that Ghanaian Prophet Ebo Noah has completed the ark God allegedly instructed him to build, a vessel he says can carry at least 5,000 people and took more than 11 months to finish. Other videos go further, asserting that as many as eight additional arks are already underway, bulit from 250,000 pieces of “special” wood personally selected and prayed over.

There have even been claims that the prophet built a “grand ark” that can carry 600 million people. He claims the rain will last for three to four years. Those figures have spread quickly through short videos and fervent posts, and they help explain why so many people have joined the conversation. The scale of the numbers makes the story feel urgent to followers.

The online traction is real: a TikTok account in his name reportedly reached almost 200,000 followers, and those numbers are often cited by supporters as proof of momentum. Ebo Noah answers critics by pointing to the mocking that the biblical Noah received, using that parallel to defend his warnings. That kind of comparison gives his message a religious frame that resonates with some viewers, especially those unfamiliar with the full scriptural context.

There have also been reports of law enforcement stepping in; some on X posted a video of the authorities arresting Ebo Noah for creating a panic around the impending flood. The arrest clip circulated as a short, shareable moment that polarized reactions, with some people cheering the intervention and others calling it persecution. Whether the detainment will change the narrative or strengthen it among his followers is unclear, but the footage amplified the story beyond local circles.

At the same time, critics have pointed out a major contradiction between the prediction and the Bible passage followers often cite for authority. In Genesis 9:11 and 9:13-15, after the great flood subsides, God clearly tells His people that he will never flood the Earth again. “I establish my covenant with you, that no more flesh shall be cut off by the waters of the flood, and there shall be no more flood to destroy the earth,” Genesis reads. “I will make my rainbow in the cloud, that it may be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth…and there will be no more floods to destroy all flesh.”

Beyond scriptural objections, meteorologists and official weather services have not forecast any event that matches Ebo Noah’s description of nonstop, world-encompassing rain. No credible atmospheric model supports a sudden change to three or four years of unceasing precipitation that would drown continents. That gap between fiery claims and scientific consensus has led many observers to treat the prophecy with skepticism.

Critics also note the optics of wealth and spectacle amid apocalyptic talk. It’s also worth noting that the prophet recently purchased a brand new Mercedes – even though God’s going to wash it away in a gigantic flood. Maybe I missed my calling as a prophet. Those details feed a broader debate about whether this is genuine belief, showmanship, or a form of exploitation.

Whatever motivates the story, it shows how charismatic figures can use social platforms to mobilize trust and money very quickly. When biblical language, urgent deadlines, and vivid imagery are mixed with viral videos, the result can be a large movement that resists outside correction. This is a prime example of how grifters can take advantage of people who don’t know the Word.
