How Is The World Going To End Today, 22nd September 2025?

In the latest of many, many predictions of the end of the world, the Earth is set to end on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, according to a conspiracy theory going wild on TikTok and X.

Every now and then, someone (sometimes, but not always, Isaac Newton) suggests that the world is about to end in some horrifying new way. Without exception (see: you aren't dead) they have all turned out to be nonsense, sometimes to the embarrassment of the "prophet" who suggested it. If you're older than 13, you have already lived through being dinosaured by imaginary planet Niburu several times, and the great Mesoamerican apocalypse of 2012.

This year, despite no apocalypse predictions ever panning out, we are back to a good (semi) old-fashioned rapture scenario. For the uninitiated, there is a belief among a small number of largely evangelical Christians that at some point in the future all living and dead believers will rise into the air to meet God, while the nonbelievers are left behind. Known as "the rapture", according to some believers this is the beginning of "tribulations" on Earth, a time of suffering and chaos for those who didn't believe and subsequently were not ascended to heaven.

These views are surprisingly common in Evangelical circles, with one survey finding that around 61 percent of Evangelical leaders globally believing in the rapture. That number is set to increase on Tuesday when, according to Pastor Joshua Mhlakela and vast swathes of the conspiracy-minded Internet believe the rapture is going to take place.

As you'd expect from someone making such claims, very little was provided in the way of evidence. Instead, the "information" which has reportedly led to people selling off their Earthly possessions such as cars, came to the pastor in a dream.

"The rapture is here upon us, whether you are ready or not ready," Mhlakela told CENTTWINZ TV on YouTube. “I saw Jesus sitting on his throne, and I could hear him very loud and clear saying, ‘I am coming soon'," he added. “He said to me on the 23rd and 24th of September 2025, ‘I will come back to the Earth.’”

Elsewhere in the interview, the pastor claims that God gave him a vision of "powerful beings" chasing those who had been left behind through the streets and eating people, which isn't the most solid evidence we've ever seen if we're being honest.

So, is it going to happen? No. One hundred percent of world-ending predictions have been incorrect, and tomorrow's will be no exception (feel free to drop us an email on Wednesday if we're wrong!). The idea is religious and has no basis in fact or physical phenomena, with absolutely nothing (bar an unprompted nuclear war or unseen asteroid) set to end the world tomorrow.

The rapture is actually a fairly recent belief amongst some Christians, dating back only to 1830s, and is not widely accepted amongst most Christian groups. But even according to the passages interpreted to be about a rapture event, "no one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father", making it unclear why Mhlakela is getting advanced notice.

The rapture happened last Tuesday

[Tell It Right]

The he Dims are the ultimate doomsday cult. Unfortunately they often have the power of government to institute their cult global Warmageddon policies.

A political party can’t convince its followers for decades that the world is gonna end in ten years, this time they mean it. Only a cult can accomplish that.

“last week my article mentioned that Elon Musk has been authorized to put 12,000 satellites (and he wants to up it to 40,000) into orbit to make high-speed Internet and TV service available everywhere on earth.

The article pointed out that this will allow the Antichrist and False Prophet to track all buying and selling, for everyone on earth to see the bodies of the Two Witnesses laying in the street and to see them raised from the dead (Rev. 11).

An astute reader reminded me that this will also allow everyone on earth to see the Second Coming of Jesus (Rev. 1:7).”

Yes it did.

I was carrying a gallon of milk and it raptured, spilled all over the place.

My doggie got to lick some though, she was happy.

How long are the mods going to allow these regular series of rapture bash threads?

This poster is maliciously obsessive in his bash threads.

The 23rd was over a week ago, and he is still beating this dead horse .

He continuously posts rapture bash threads on breaking news .

It’s not breaking, and its not news.

Why is this malicious mocking allowed to continue ?

I could understand it on the religion forum, but this is a regular occurrence on breaking news.

He posts no recurring bash threads against SDA’s, Jehovah witnesses, Mormons , gay clergy accepting methodist’s, episcopalians, Jews,,, NOT EVEN ISLAM.

But is allowed to launch attack threads against the beliefs of hundreds if not thousands of freepers on this board.

Maybe that’s why the fundraisers have been having such a hard time meeting their goals recently.

So , ya, I’m asking for this, and all future malicious mocking threads, to be removed from, and banned from, breaking news.

It will end tomorrow. Also free beer tomorrow.

How Is The World Going To End Today, 22nd September 2025?

Is according to the link,

"How Is The World Going To End Today, According to Conspiracy Theorists?"

Yet the 22nd was in fact the last day... of the year 5785.

“I saw Jesus sitting on his throne, and I could hear him very loud and clear saying, ‘I am coming soon'," he added. “He said to me on the 23rd and 24th of September 2025, ‘I will come back to the Earth.’”

That's essentially the same as "I will come back DOWN to Earth."

Which is also vastly different and insightful:

(idiomatic) Practical; realistic; pragmatic.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/down-to-earth

Down to Earth... just like Jesus' parables, because he explained abstract, spiritual concepts by way of down-to-earth analogies.

He had a little something for everyone --

farmers, merchants, travelers, shepherds, parents, brides, bakers, average worker bees, gardeners, fishermen, people who lose pocket change in the couch, shoppers... the list goes on.

You get the idea. What will you love today?

Out of the blue every eye will see, because it's not complicated.

I considered joining Tik Tok other day.

Trying to start an account they bring up a photo with a circle in the middle of it that is the same photo but a part of it only, and it’s turned in the wrong direction from the photo.

You are supposed to be able to move it around till it fits. It’s frozen. So it doesn’t work.

The other alternative is just below the photo. It is a voice that you press to hear and it’s a woman who gives you a series of about five letters used for a code you are supposed to type out below as correctly heard, only the volume is bad, muffled. No way to hear the letters properly.

I don’t get it. No way to start a new account with this process, so I gave up.

I don’t know if Tik Tok is worth it but that was my experience.

I had never heard of Pastor Joshua Mhlakela before this foolish prediction, and I will probably never hear of him again.

When people say they know when it's going to happen, one thing I know for sure is they don't know.

“I saw Jesus sitting on his throne, and I could hear him very loud and clear saying, ‘I am coming soon'," he added. “He said to me on the 23rd and 24th of September 2025, ‘I will come back to the Earth.’”

So either he was lying about what he heard or he was fooled by a demonic impersonator. Either way, he should have known. That's a permanent disqualification from ministry. The man is a fraud and was recognized as such when he made the prediction by anyone who has a basic knowledge of the Bible.

Idiots

[Dartoid]

he posts them because he is a cultist

[cuz1961]

I urge all freepers that are sick of this malicious obsession to hit the post abuse link and demand he be stopped,

He can go to the religion thread to conduct his holy war.

His buddies have even invaded my CDL thread , one made a snarky frerperthon comment, just to troll me.

Why the mods allow these regular bash threads is beyond me .

[delchiante]

I can watch the Antichrist today.

Or at least where he and his minions hang out.

Just need a live cam view of the Vatican

Why the mods allow these regular bash threads is beyond me.

Probably the same reason they allow Catholic bashing threads, and anti-Catholic comments that invariably appear on threads that have nothing to do with Catholicism (like post #18 on this thread), which are far more numerous. You don't seem to have a problem with those.
