The Prophecy That Never Was
On December 25th, 2025, thousands of people in Ghana and beyond waited in fear. They had been told by a man known as Prophet Ebo Noah that a catastrophic flood was coming to cleanse the earth, and the only safety lay within ten “arcs” he was building. People quit their jobs, abandoned their homes, and traveled miles with only what they could carry to reach these sanctuaries.
But as the day passed, the skies remained clear. Instead of a flood of water, the world witnessed a “flood of excuses.” According to host Jacob Israel, this isn’t just a story of a failed prediction—it’s a warning about the exploitation of faith.
1. Who is Ebo Noah? The “Potato Sack” Prophet
Ebo Noah rose to superstar status by cultivating a humble, eccentric image—often appearing in what resembles a potato sack. However, this image of poverty is sharply contrasted by his lifestyle.
- The Luxury Reveal: Despite his “humble” attire, Ebo Noah reportedly arrived at his prophecy event in a $100,000 luxury car, allegedly purchased using donations from his followers.
- The “Delay” Tactic: When the flood failed to materialize, he claimed that because so many people were coming, God had granted more time to build additional arcs through his intercession.
2. Ghana’s “Prophecy Shutdown”
The Ebo Noah incident is part of a larger trend in Ghana, where “prophets galore” have been making sensational claims that often lead to public panic or tragedy.
- The Helicopter Crash: The video highlights a tragic military helicopter crash in August that killed eight senior officials. Following the event, several “prophets” claimed they had “conditional” visions of the disaster, sparking a debate on whether these predictions are insightful or merely speculative opportunism.
- Government Intervention: In response to the growing chaos, the Ghanaian government has now mandated that any prophecy intended for public consumption must be submitted for government approval to prevent the spread of fear and disinformation.
3. Recognizing “Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing”
Jacob Israel warns that the “flood” God is actually concerned with is a flood of truth—which burns away lies like fire. He offers several red flags for identifying false prophets:
- Repetitive, Babbling Prayers: Jesus warned against those who love to be seen reciting “mantras” and boring prayers for public approval.
- Prophecy for Profit: Beware of leaders who take advantage of the poor and “downtrodden” to fund their own celebrity lifestyles.
- Conditional Clauses: True prophets in scripture didn’t rely on “if you get your act together” as a way to escape accountability when their predictions failed.
4. Spirit vs. Spectacle
The takeaway for believers and seekers alike is to move away from “magic works” and focus on the core values of faith: forgiveness, love, peace, and purpose.
- The Direct Connection: You don’t need a middleman like Ebo Noah to find God. “You come to the well anytime you get thirsty,” Jacob Israel notes, encouraging a direct, personal spiritual connection rather than reliance on self-titled prophets.
The Flood of Truth
While Ebo Noah builds more “arcs,” the real revolution is happening in the hearts of those who are waking up to the truth. Religion should never be a tool for exploitation, and the failed 12/25 prophecy serves as a landmark moment for spiritual accountability.
