Thousands wager on Jesus Christ’s return in 2025 as shocking theory predicts his second coming
Over $500,000 has been staked on Jesus’ potential return

Thousands of individuals have placed bets that Jesus Christ will finally come back to Earth before 2025 comes to a close.

Both Christian and Islamic teachings hold that Jesus is destined to return, following his resurrection after the crucifixion.

According to the Bible, after rising from the dead, Jesus remained briefly before ascending to heaven. The second coming is seen as the ultimate continuation of his story.

While many signs have been suggested as indicators of his return, few anticipated that a crypto-based betting platform would enter the discussion.

The bets are being made on Polymarket, a website where users can gamble on whether certain events will occur, with the price reflecting the likelihood of each outcome.

“I will return when my Father decides, not when people start placing bets.”

Currently, more than half a million dollars has been wagered on whether the second coming will happen in 2025, though most of that money supports the “no” outcome.

At present, only around three percent of bettors are wagering that it will occur, though that still amounts to thousands of dollars that could pay out if Jesus reappears.

Much of this betting revolves around the so-called “Millennial Day Theory,” which suggests that the second coming will happen 6,000 years after mankind’s creation, marking the start of a 1,000-year era of peace.

The theory equates each millennium to a single day, placing humanity currently in the “Friday” phase of this timeline. Once the 6,000-year threshold is reached, it would transition into “Saturday,” symbolizing peace.

Polymarket, the website hosting these wagers, now holds over $500,000 in bets on whether the second coming will take place this year

However, one major issue with this theory is that scientific evidence shows humans have existed far longer than 6,000 years.

Research suggests that modern humans, or homo sapiens, have been around for roughly 300,000 years, with fossils dating back to that time.

Additionally, numerous previous predictions about the second coming have either offered exact dates or remained vague.

The Bible itself states that “no one knows the day or the hour” of Jesus’ return, implying that speculating — let alone betting — might not align with his teachings, especially regarding gambling on sacred matters.

Despite numerous forecasts, Jesus has yet to make his return in the first half of this year, so this latest claim may simply join the long list of failed predictions.

By year’s end, the truth will be clear — and for some, potentially very profitable.
