Self-proclaimed preacher Prophet Metuh, who stirred up social media with his prediction of the world’s end on April 25, 2024, has offered an explanation for the prophecy’s failure.
Metuh initially claimed to have received divine revelation during prayer, stating that he saw the date clearly and heard it mentioned by God twice. However, in a statement on his X account, Metuh attributed the prophecy’s failure to God’s intervention following a 21-day fasting and prayer period by him and his followers.
He tweeted, “The Lord showed us Mercy. After our 21-day fasting and prayer, he heard us and gave us more time to live. Prayer works #rapture2024 #rapture”
Despite his explanation, social media users expressed mixed reactions, with some questioning the logic behind the initial prophecy and others criticizing him for causing unnecessary fear and confusion.
One user, Ebubedike, commented, “You get luck say we no dey Old Testament again. In the meantime, enjoy your Elon’s money.” Meanwhile, Vlad questioned the timing of Metuh’s prophecy, as it coincided with his fasting and prayer period.
Another user, Mazi Malek, raised doubts about the feasibility of completing 21 days of prayer within the timeframe of the initial prophecy. Similarly, a tweep identified as Youth President condemned the behavior of self-proclaimed prophets, cautioning against joking with matters of faith.
On X.com, user Edmonton called for Metuh’s arrest, accusing him of spreading false information and inducing fear among Nigerian citizens. Similarly, Omoluabi criticized Metuh for misleading people and urged him to stop making false prophecies.
Echoing similar sentiments, T. O Umoru Esq urged Metuh to refrain from attributing words to God that were not spoken and to stop deceiving his followers.
