why are people saying tomorrow is the rapture

People are saying tomorrow is the rapture because a South African pastor named Joshua Mhlakela claimed in a YouTube video that Jesus appeared to him in a vision and told him the rapture would begin on September 23 or 24, 2025. These dates coincide with the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets), which some interpret as biblically significant since the Bible references a "trumpet call of God" associated with the rapture event. This prophecy quickly went viral on social media platforms like TikTok, leading to a frenzy known as "RaptureTok," where believers are preparing by selling possessions and quitting jobs in anticipation of the event. The rapture is believed by Evangelical Christians to be when true believers will be taken up to heaven while others are left behind to face seven years of suffering on Earth. Despite the hype, there is no credible evidence for this prediction, and historically, all attempts at date-setting for the rapture have failed.
