So 2025 rolled around and Jesus Christ didn't exactly make a comeback to Earth—shocking, right? Actually, not really. But here's where it gets interesting: a whole bunch of prediction market traders just made serious money on exactly that bet.

For anyone tracking Web3 speculation platforms, this is a textbook example of how prophecy and doomsday prediction markets actually work. Participants had positioned themselves betting against the fulfillment of this religious claim, and when the calendar flipped to 2026 without any celestial events, those positions went in the money.

It's a wild intersection of faith, market mechanics, and crypto derivatives—showing how prediction markets price belief itself. The traders who called this one correctly probably have some pretty interesting stories about contrarian positioning.
