False Ebo Noah’s Ark Prophecy Leaves Thousands Homeless

ASHANTI, GHANA: Thousands of people from diverse nationalities who trooped in the Ashanti Region, around Kumasi, in Ghana, after selling their houses for a spot on Ebo Noah’s modern ark, are now left homeless after flocking to what was described as Ghana’s modern Noah’s Ark in the early morning hours of Thursday, December 25, 2025.

This followed his doomsday prophecy, which ultimately proved false after the country experienced a dry and merry Christmas. Several victims have since begun expressing their frustration publicly. Over frustration, some have moved to burn an art that was reported to be different from the Ebo Noah Ark.

One incident was recorded on the morning of December 26, when a man was seen in a 30-second video circulating on social media reportedly setting fire to an ark he believed belonged to the self-styled prophet Ebo Noah. Reports say the man had moved his wife and family closer to the structure in anticipation of the rumored flood.

Angered by what he believed was deception, he allegedly destroyed the structure, only to later learn that it had no connection to Ebo Noah, further escalating tensions and outrage.

The self-proclaimed prophet, who often appeared dressed in ancient Hebrew garments and biblical-era attire, claimed that God had revealed to him that continuous heavy rainfall would begin on December 25, 2025, leading to a catastrophic flood that would affect the entire world, with only those aboard his arks surviving.

There are confirmed reports suggesting that Ebo Noah, who postponed the supposed flood on December 25, 2025, has faced serious criticism over how he handled donations and how he lived publicly. He has been accused of using money given by followers for personal gain rather than genuine humanitarian or religious preparation.

Around the time the predicted flood date passed without incident, videos circulated online showing him with a luxury Mercedes-Benz reportedly worth about $89,000, shortly before Christmas. Many victims have recounted that after years of building his online presence and constructing arks, he appeared more focused on clout—particularly his TikTok following of about 1.2 million followers—and lifestyle than on helping people.

Wearing his Noah’s Ark construction outfit, Ebo Noah reportedly used this image to convince victims in areas such as Takoradi and Cape Coast, exploiting anyone who fell prey to his prophecy. Some followers reportedly donated large sums of money, gifts, and other valuables.

In the Bible, God is recorded as promising after Noah’s flood that He would never again destroy the earth with a flood, sealing that assurance with the rainbow as a sign of the covenant.

Despite this well-known passage, some Ghanaians—especially in the Kumasi region—appeared to overlook or dismiss the scriptural context, choosing instead to place their faith in a modern prophecy predicting another global flood by a mere mortal, Ebo Noah.

Genesis 9:11 (NIV) states: “I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

Factually, these verses come after Noah’s flood and form what theologians call the Noahic Covenant—God’s unconditional promise that a global, earth-destroying flood would never happen again. 

This is not interpretation or opinion; it is a direct biblical record widely accepted across Christian denominations and referenced in theological scholarship.

The Bible also warns that in the last days, many false prophets will rise, claiming visions and miracles to deceive people. 

Matthew 24:24 (NIV) states: “For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”

Ebo Noah’s predictions and the frenzy surrounding his “ark” can be viewed in light of this warning.

In today’s society, people are often drawn to charismatic claims of disaster, sometimes ignoring scripture and reason—both of which the Bible cautions against. 

This episode serves as a reminder to test every prophecy against God’s Word and not be swept away by fear or spectacle.
