Hoax – This story has resurfaced, recalling an alleged biblical prophecy claiming that a global blackout will cause three days of darkness on Earth in 2025.

Analysis

In recent days, messages on social media and WhatsApp groups have once again spread the rumor that Earth will experience a global blackout in 2025. According to these posts, the event would cause three days of complete darkness and is linked to a biblical prophecy.

The storyline, in addition to being alarmist, is not new. It has been spread in various forms before, often associated with false predictions attributed to NASA or misinterpretations of religious texts.

Version 1: THERE WILL BE THREE DAYS OF DARKNESS Are you prepared?

Version 2: About the three days of darkness? There will be no darkness for the chosen ones. “Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness” John 18:12

Fact-check

Now, let’s analyze the following questions: What does the supposed prophecy say about the three days of darkness? Will there be a global blackout and total darkness in 2025? When has this theory been spread before?

What does the so-called biblical prophecy about the three days of darkness say?

The supposed prophecy of the three days of darkness is not directly found in the Bible but in writings attributed to Catholic saints and visionaries. One of the most well-known versions comes from predictions attributed to Blessed Anna Maria Taigi (1769–1837), who allegedly warned about three days of darkness as divine punishment. Other sources include apocryphal writings and interpretations of religious messages.

Even though these accounts exist in a religious context, there is no indication that they have a scientific basis or practical application in today’s world. Using these texts to justify alarmist predictions about astronomical events or global blackouts distorts faith and history.

Will there be a blackout and three days of darkness on Earth?

There is no scientific evidence that Earth will experience three days of darkness. This rumor resurfaces frequently and has been debunked multiple times. NASA has never made any predictions about such an event, as we pointed out in another fact-check. Additionally, there are no astronomical records of phenomena capable of causing global darkness.

Regarding the risk of a worldwide blackout, there is also no basis for this claim. Some fake news stories have suggested that solar storms could cause massive power grid collapses, but such events do not have the capacity to trigger a complete global blackout for three days. As explained in another case, there is no prediction of long-term blackouts caused by natural phenomena (read more here).

When has this blackout hoax spread before?

This story has been circulated multiple times, always with slight variations. In 2012, rumors claimed that NASA had predicted three days of darkness due to planetary alignment, which never happened. In 2014, another version stated that there would be a six-day blackout, which was also debunked (check here).

More recently, similar hoaxes have predicted a three-month blackout due to solar storms, which was also false (see here). These stories always follow a pattern of catastrophic predictions without any technical or scientific backing.

Conclusion

The claim that there will be a global blackout and three days of darkness on Earth in 2025 has no scientific or credible religious basis. It is a hoax that resurfaces from time to time with minor variations. NASA has never confirmed such an event, and there is no astronomical or energy-related forecast suggesting this could happen.
