Controversial televangelist Pastor James Ng'ang'a has publicly rejected fellow preacher Prophet David Owuor's latest apocalyptic prophecy, claiming the world will end on 2nd August 2025 at midnight.
The bold prediction, issued recently by Prophet Owuor, who leads the Repentance and Holiness Ministry, has stirred debate among religious circles and social media, with many recalling his previous doomsday warnings issued in 2014, 2017, and 202, all of which failed to materialiSe.
Pastor Ng'ang'a, founder of Neno Evangelism Centre and no stranger to controversy himself, did not mince words while addressing the claim.
In a now-viral clip delivered during a sermon, Ng'ang'a mocked Owuor, suggesting age and the weight of his signature long beard may be clouding his judgment.
"Hii dunia tunaishi saa hizi. Owuor amesema inaisha tarehe mbili," Ng'ang'a said with sarcasm. "Wewe Owuor, umezeeka. Ukisema hiyo, unyoe hizo ndevu. Zimemvuta, ni nzito. Hata Yesu alisema hajui siku, sasa wewe prophet unajuaje?"
The two prominent figures in Kenya's evangelical landscape have clashed before, often disagreeing on doctrine, prophecy, and public conduct.
Ng'ang'a has emphasised that no one-not even Jesus himself, knows the hour of the world's end, quoting scripture to challenge Owuor's pronouncement.
This latest theological feud is fueling broader questions about the influence and accountability of high-profile preachers in Kenya.
However, in a statement shared on it's X (fromer Twitter) account, the church has denounced the news about the world ending, claiming that they are false, baselessm malicicious and intended to harm not only its reputation and its leader, but also the unity and testimony of the church.
"We urge all members and the public to refrain from sharing or entertaining unvrerified stories. As belivers, we are called to pursue truth, peace and rightiosness. Let us not be quick to spread gossip, but instead be dligent in prayer, discernment and unity,"
