365NEWS gathered that self-proclaimed preacher, Prophet Metuh, who claimed that the world would end on Thursday, April 25, has explained why the prophecy didn’t come to pass.
Metuh had caused a stir on social media with his revelation that the world would end on April 25, 2024, claiming God informed him during prayer.
He emphasized seeing the date clearly and hearing it mentioned by God twice.
But in a statement on his X account on Saturday, Metuh attributed the prophecy’s failure to the intervention of God after he and his followers completed a 21-day fasting and prayer period.
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”
However, his explanation garnered mixed reactions from social media users, with some questioning the logic behind the initial prophecy and others criticizing him for causing unnecessary fear and confusion among people.
Reacting to this, an X user Ebubedike tweeting with the handle #chukuwu_io said, “You get luck say we no dey Old Testament again. In the meantime, enjoy your Elon’s money.”
