The most recent and popular prediction for the Rapture was that it would happen on or around September 23 or 24, 2025. This forecast originated from a South African man named Joshua Mhlakela, who described having a dream in 2018 in which Jesus told him that on these dates He would take His church. This prediction gained traction on social media platforms like TikTok, where users showed interest in the idea that the Rapture would coincide with significant religious days such as Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and the Feast of Trumpets. However, this prediction has not come to pass as of today, September 25, 2025. The concept of the Rapture, according to Christian belief, is indeed a future event where true believers are said to be taken to heaven suddenly, but many Christian denominations caution against trying to pinpoint the exact date, citing biblical texts which say that no one knows the day or hour except God. Historically, many have attempted to set specific dates for the Rapture, but such predictions have consistently failed. In summary:
- The recent viral prediction was for the Rapture to occur on September 23-24, 2025, which did not happen.
- The Biblical and theological consensus is that the exact timing of the Rapture is unknown and unknowable.
- Speculative date-setting about the Rapture has a history of inaccuracy and skepticism within the broader Christian community.
