Social media users have reacted to a self-proclaimed preacher named Prophet Metuh, who has declared that the world would come to an end on Thursday, April 25, 2024.
According to him, he received a “clear message” from God, indicating that April 25, 2024, marks the final day for humanity.
In a video that has gone viral on X, Metuh said: “By the 25th of April, the world is going to end. If you like take this seriously, if you don’t like don’t take it seriously.
“But this is real, rapture is coming, on the 25th of April 2024. I saw it very clear, do you understand? I saw the date very clear and the Lord ministered to me. He mentioned it twice, it has happened twice.”
He also chastised social media users who were criticising him for his claim of rapture.
“This is not a joke, this is a reality. Rapture is coming, prepare yourself. The message was very clear and the date is also very clear, 25th of April 2024. Rapture is coming. The world has come to an end and that is just the reality.”
“I have seen a lot of reactions and comments on social media but it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that you have to prepare yourself. The message was very clear, it is not for me to finetune for you to be happy or for you to like it. It is to pass the message as I got it and that is what I have done.
“So, prepare yourselves. This is not a joke, rapture is coming. The world is coming to an end.”
In their reactions, some social media users faulted Metuh’s claim, saying even Jesus Christ was not given knowledge of the exact time of the rapture.
