As global tensions intensify across multiple regions in 2026, fresh attention has turned to the New Year prophecy delivered by Prophet Babatunde Ephrata, who warned at the start of the year that “trust will be betrayed” among world powers.
In his annual prophetic declaration released during a crossover service, the cleric described 2026 as a year of fragile alliances, strained diplomatic ties, and unexpected geopolitical realignments. He specifically referenced tensions involving Western alliances, including NATO and the European Union, cautioning that internal disagreements and shifting loyalties could destabilise established power blocs.
Six weeks into the year, global developments have reflected heightened friction in several regions, with diplomatic disputes, security threats and renewed military posturing dominating international headlines.
Warning on Terrorism and Global Security
Beyond state-level tensions, Ephrata also predicted a resurgence of terrorist activity, urging prayers for Germany, Turkey, France, the United States and Nigeria. According to him, these nations could face security threats or destabilising incidents during the year.
Recent security alerts and counter-terror operations across parts of Europe, the Middle East and West Africa have renewed public interest in his remarks. While analysts caution against drawing direct cause-and-effect conclusions, supporters of the cleric say the unfolding events mirror the themes he highlighted at the beginning of the year.
He also warned of escalating instability in the Middle East, referencing Iran as a potential flashpoint capable of triggering wider global consequences if diplomatic efforts fail.
Track Record of Previous Predictions
Followers of Prophet Ephrata argue that his 2026 warnings align with a pattern of past forecasts they say later materialised. In previous years, he reportedly spoke about political upsets, economic strain and security challenges before they became headline issues.
Critics, however, maintain that many prophetic declarations are broadly framed and open to interpretation. They note that geopolitical tensions and terrorism are recurring global themes, making such predictions difficult to measure objectively.
Nevertheless, the resurfacing of his 2026 message amid current international developments has reignited debate over the role of religious prophecy in interpreting global affairs.
As diplomatic uncertainties continue and security concerns remain elevated, observers say it is likely that Ephrata’s words will continue to attract attention throughout the year.
