The last predicted date for the rapture was widely circulated as September 23, 2025, based on interpretations linking it with the Jewish Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) and certain biblical prophecies. This prediction was notably promoted by South African pastor Joshua Mhlakela, who claimed to have received a vision about the rapture occurring on that date. However, it is important to note that traditionally, Christian doctrine says no one knows the exact day or hour of the rapture, and past attempts to set a date have failed without the event occurring. There is currently no verified or historical record of any actual rapture event having taken place. The prediction for September 23, 2025, generated significant discussion and social media frenzy, but such predictions have a history of being proven false. According to mainstream Christian teaching, the precise timing of the rapture remains unknown.
Thus, there has been no last rapture event that has actually occurred to date. The recent prediction for late September 2025 was not fulfilled, consistent with the repeated pattern of failed rapture date settings historically.
