Odds of Jesus Christ returning before 2027 DOUBLE overnight
The odds of the Second Coming have risen.
A wagering pool on Polymarket called ‘Will Jesus Christ return before 2027?’ has mysteriously doubled overnight, generating over a total of $900,000 in bets.
Polymarket, a cryptocurrency-based online prediction platform, lets users bet on real-world events, from elections to sports and even UFO sightings, turning speculation into a crowd-sourced probability measure.
The market opened in December with a 2.6 percent chance for Jesus to return, but as of Thursday, the odds have risen to four percent, doubling from the previous day.
Users can buy ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ positions, with current prices at 4.3 cents for ‘Yes’ and 95.8 cents for ‘No.’
This marks one of Polymarket’s more unusual and high-profile questions, highlighting the platform’s ability to quantify public sentiment rather than rely on religious interpretation.
Historically, predictions about Jesus’ return have been speculative, rooted in biblical texts and theological debate, but this market converts belief into measurable data.
Polymarket tracks probability fluctuations in real time, reflecting new trades and shifts in user confidence.
The increase in odds demonstrates the influence of online speculation and social media on public perception, even on deeply theological matters.
The spike also underscores how prediction markets are increasingly being used to measure collective belief in unconventional areas, like religion.
Social media users quickly reacted, as one wrote: ‘We can only hope…only thing getting us out of this mess…’
While another called betting on Jesus’ return a ‘dangerous game.’ Others questioned who the ‘insiders’ might be, placing large bets.
If Jesus does not return, Polymarket’s ‘No’ shares, currently trading at 96¢, would yield a 4¢ profit per share by December 31, 2026, a 4.17 percent return.
Polymarket operates like a stock market for predictions. Users stake money on outcomes and profit if their forecasts are correct.
While most markets focus on politics or economics, novelty bets like Jesus’ return attract attention for their unusual and viral nature.
The Bible states that Jesus will return, but in Matthew 24:36, he said, ‘No one knows the day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’
Despite the speculative and sometimes humorous nature of the market, it has sparked wider conversations about prediction platforms and contemporary culture.
Analysts noted a growing cultural fascination with end-of-the-world scenarios and the ways online markets can shape perceptions of probability and risk.
Polymarket’s data shows a surge in trading volume, suggesting interest in the question is accelerating.
Many users are likely drawn not only by novelty but also by the opportunity to profit from predicting a high-profile, widely debated event.
As of now, the majority of trades remain on the ‘No’ side, indicating most participants still consider Jesus’ return before 2027 highly unlikely.
In December, the odds of President Donald Trump revealing what he knows about aliens suddenly skyrocketed, leading experts to believe full public disclosure is on the horizon.
A wagering pool on Polymarket called ‘Trump declassifies UFO files in 2025?’ has mysteriously exploded with activity, rising to over $7 million bet, shifting the odds from six percent ‘Yes’ on December 6 to a staggering 98 percent three days later.
In this UFO market, the odds flipped dramatically because of a sudden surge in betting volume, likely fueled by rumors, insider tips, and viral buzz, causing the share prices to rocket as more people piled in on the ‘Yes’ side.
In fact, UFO researcher and filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee told the Daily Mail he is convinced the recent trading in favor of Trump releasing UFO files has been sparked by someone with access to the White House.
‘I think someone on the inside close to Trump knows this and has been buying, hence the rise,’ Lee explained.
To this point, previous White Houses, the US military, and even NASA have all denied that humans have ever encountered UFOs, recovered crashed spaceships, or made contact with alien life.
While Trump has remained skeptical about the existence of UFOs as well, he has repeatedly promised to release whatever his administration discovered to the public, telling the Lex Fridman Podcast in 2024: ‘I’d love to do that. I have to do that.’
