A Ghanaian man has gone viral online after claiming that a three-year global flood will begin on 25 December 2025. He presents himself as a modern-day Noah and says God warned him of nonstop rain that will cover the entire world.
A viral prophecy raises urgent questions
His videos, which circulate on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X, show wooden boats under construction and dramatic captions promising safety for anyone who joins him.
The story has spread fast, helped by short clips, subtitles in many languages, and thousands of reactions. For many viewers, it creates a mix of surprise, fear, and curiosity. Some people even send messages asking how to book a place on the ark. Others laugh at the idea and make jokes about Wi-Fi, charging ports, and snacks on board.
But the message he shares creates a serious problem for anyone who takes the Bible literally. In the book of Genesis, God promises never to destroy the world again with a flood. Verses in Genesis 9 say clearly that the flood was a one-time event. They say God made a covenant—a promise—symbolized by a rainbow, that “there will be no more flood to destroy the earth.” This means the prophecy being spread online clashes directly with a major biblical teaching. If the man’s prediction is right, then the covenant would be broken. If the covenant stands, then the prophecy cannot be true. This tension is a big part of why the story is getting so much attention online.
The man continues to preach, often wearing a simple brown vest that has become part of his identity in the videos. Many captions call him names like “Prophet,” “Noah,” or other labels created by online audiences. He appears calm and patient even when people mock him, saying that Noah in the Bible was also laughed at before the flood came.
What the videos show and what they do not show
The videos shared across platforms appear to show real construction. They show long wooden hulls, workers delivering timber, and workers hammering planks into place. In some clips, the man hands out gifts to children or helps local community members. These scenes help build an image of a kind and helpful figure who is both a preacher and a builder.
However, the boats seen in the videos look more like large open wooden vessels than giant enclosed arks. They do not show the kind of size, height, or structure needed to hold thousands of people. Some posts claim the main boat can hold at least 5,000 passengers. Other clips go even further, claiming eight more arks are being built using special wood. One video even mentions a “grand ark” said to hold 600 million people. But no proof or video of such a massive vessel has appeared.
No major news organizations in Ghana or anywhere else have confirmed the location of the project, how many boats exist, or who is funding the work. Many reposts simply say it is happening in “a small community in Ghana.” Fact-checkers in West Africa and the UK have still not confirmed whether the fleet is real or whether online posts are framing a few community boats as end-times arks.
Many people also ask whether some parts of the footage use AI editing or enhancement. Some clips use the same voice-over, sound effects, and music, even though they come from different accounts. Online analysts say these patterns are common in modern viral prophecy videos. They note that AI can extend backgrounds, make structures appear larger, or blend real and fake footage. But none of the videos show obvious signs of heavy manipulation. Without a full technical analysis, experts cannot say for certain whether the videos use AI. What is clear is that editors have added smooth narrations, background music, and removed natural sound.
Even if all the footage is real, the numbers in the claims do not add up. Building ten giant arks would require huge amounts of timber, money, skilled labor, and engineering knowledge. Even moderate-sized ships normally need cranes, docks, and trained workers. A small community would struggle to build several vessels big enough for thousands of people. And the idea of an ark for 600 million passengers is physically impossible. Nothing shown in the videos comes near that scale. The visible boats look large for village use but tiny for global rescue.
The way the videos are edited also raises questions. Most of the preaching is in a local language, but the captions promise space for people “from anywhere in the world.” Posting mainly in a local language while aiming for a worldwide audience is unusual. Much of the global attention actually comes from subtitles added by other people, not by the original speaker.
Online reaction mixes fear, faith, and memes
The story shows how quickly a message can spread in the age of social media. A man in a small community can reach millions of people by uploading short videos. Apocalyptic content often spreads faster than ordinary news because it triggers strong emotions—fear, curiosity, hope, or disbelief.
People react in many different ways. Some believe the man completely and say they are preparing for the date he mentioned. Others treat the videos as entertainment. Many viewers openly call the numbers unrealistic. Some say they believe in faith, but not in the math. Jokes about “premium cabins,” “phone charging stations,” and “Cash App at the ark gate” appear under many posts.
No major church body, scientific group, or weather agency has supported the prediction of a global flood on 25 December 2025. There is no evidence from meteorologists that nonstop rain for three years is coming. And the biblical passages often used to support the original flood story clearly say that such an event will never happen again.
For now, the only confirmed facts are the videos themselves, the boats shown in them, and the public reaction. Whether the project is a genuine belief, a local construction effort, a misunderstood community event, or an online storyline that grew too fast, it has become a worldwide topic. The mix of theology, fear, humor, and virality keeps the story alive, and the date mentioned in the prophecy continues to push it further into global conversation.
