The Rapture is predicted by some to occur on September 23 or 24, 2025, according to South African pastor Joshua Mhlakela who claims to have received a vision of Jesus returning on these dates, coinciding with the Jewish Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah. This prediction has created a trend called "RaptureTok" on TikTok where many believers are preparing for this event.
However, this prediction is met with strong skepticism and opposition from many Christian communities and Biblical scholars. They emphasize that the Bible explicitly states in Matthew 24:36 that no one knows the day or hour of the event except God the Father, and warn against date-setting, noting that such predictions have historically been wrong.
In summary, while some are anticipating the Rapture on September 23-24, 2025, based on a specific vision and interpretation of prophecy, the broader Christian teaching is that the timing is unknown and should not be predicted. The dates hold no definitive prophetic guarantee and any preparations or claims should be approached with caution.
