A South Korean man, YoungHoon Kim, has drawn global attention after posting a video on X claiming that Jesus Christ will return within the next ten years.
In his post, Kim urged believers to prepare for the “Second Coming,” insisting the event is near, though he admitted he does not know the exact time.
His declaration quickly spread online, drawing both curiosity and controversy from Christian communities worldwide.
Faith, doubt and scriptural reminders
Kim’s statement sparked divided responses. While some Christians saw it as a call to spiritual readiness, others cautioned that biblical teachings clearly state no one knows the day or hour of Christ’s return.
Religious scholars and online commentators questioned Kim’s authority to make such predictions, noting that his claim risks stirring unnecessary fear or false hope among followers.
Questions over intelligence claim
Apart from his prophecy, Kim’s self-declared IQ of 276 has fuelled further scepticism.
Investigations found no record of such a score on any recognised intelligence scale.
People argue that the mix of unverified brilliance and religious prophecy highlights the dangers of unchecked claims on social media, where charisma often overshadows credibility.
Despite widespread criticism, Kim’s message continues to trend, exposing the growing influence of self-styled visionaries in online faith discussions.
