Despite his penchant for predicting
disasters, Nigerian ‘Prophet’ T.B. Joshua
has finally unveiled a prophecy with ‘good
news’.
A video has surfaced online claiming
Joshua foretold the hijack situation that
unfolded in Egypt in the early hours of
Tuesday 29th March, countering
insinuations that the cleric’s controversial
predictions only concern ‘doom’ and
‘gloom’.
“I am seeing a balloon – it was hijacked
and people were inside,” Joshua is seen
telling his congregation in an undated
video, describing a scenario that would
result in ‘Breaking News’ worldwide.
“But at the end of the day, they were able
to rescue the balloon and the people…
they will not be able to blow anything,” he
continues, followed by heavy applause
from the congregation
Joshua then led his members in a prayer
of thanksgiving for the impending ‘rescue’
and ‘victory’.
The prophecy allegedly concerns the
explosive events that occurred when a
man hijacked EgyptAir flight MS181
carrying at least 55 passengers from
Alexandria to Cairo on Tuesday morning,
forcing it to land in Cyprus.
Most passengers were released
immediately but at least seven people,
including crew members, were forcibly
kept on the plane by the hijacker who
claimed to be wearing a suicide belt which
he threatened to detonate.
The crisis eventually drew to a conclusion
several hours later as the remaining
hostages began to cautiously emerge
from the plane, one making a dramatic
jump from a cockpit window.
The suspected hijacker then appeared with
his hands up, subsequently being
arrested.
Joshua made headlines for another
prediction last week when Emmanuel TV’s
official YouTube channel released a video
claiming he predicted the tragic terrorist
attacks in Brussels, Belgium which led to
the deaths of over 31 people.
Malawian President Peter Mutharika also
publicly mocked Joshua for allegedly
predicting his impending death, although
no substantial evidence was provided to
show such a prophecy was ever made.
