The false prophet who predicted that the Rapture would take place late last month has set the date for the REAL Rapture, insisting it will take place some time between October 7-8 of this year “”The 7th and 8th of October is the real Feast of the Trumpets. I’m a billion percent sure.”
Three months ago, Joshua Mhlakela—a “believer” from South Africa who claimed to have once been a pastor—came out of nowhere and began claiming that Jesus came to him in a dream in 2018 and told him: “On the 23rd and the 24th of September, 2025, I will come to take my church.”
His predictions picked up steam, with #RaptureTok trending on TikTok, and videos about it doing brisk business on YouTube—either supporting it, debunking it, or featuring folks claiming that they too had visions confirming it was going down.
While some folks were memeing on it, many people took him seriously, quitting their jobs and selling their cars and homes in anticipation.
Of course, nothing happened.
After the Rapture did not happen, Mhlakela went silent for a couple of days, then reemerged more confident and arrogant than ever, doubling down and saying he is “a billion percent sure that the rapture is going to happen on the 23rd and 24th of September 2025.”
Using some flawed math and the reasoning normally reserved for a paranoid schizophrenic who just mainlined 500grams of PCP and hasn’t slept in a week, he insists that because “we see dimly, as in a mirror,” there was some confusion because his initial prediction was based on the Gregorian Calendar. Instead, he suggests that his date should be based on the Julian calendar, which is 13 days ahead, so that Sept. 23–24 will actually occur in early October.
It’s super dumb, but what can you expect?
Notably, in a a recent video, apologist Mike Winger rightly excoriates Joshua Mhlakela and exposes him as a false teacher, liar, and budding cult leader that he is.

When that fails to materialize, he'll switch to the Mayan calendar. Yeah, that'll work.
I’m sure a false flag will happen tomorrow, though.
But but but the Mayan calendar expired a few years back didn’t it?
(Shhhhh! You'll ruin their fun!)
I’m flying tomorrow, so here’s hoping the pilot and crew are all atheists. Don’t need ‘em getting raptured out away from the controls. I’m a sinner, so I’ll still be on the plane.
“(Shhhhh! You’ll ruin their fun!) “
Oh sowwy!
Okay I know what we can do! Let’s get some of those ‘blow up dolls’, you know the kind. Fill them with helium and release them near this guy and his church when they are waiting for the rapture. They will think they were left behind!
That’s funny v
“Don’t. You. Believe. It.”
I don’t. The guy who thinks he knows, better read his Bible over again.
Mark 13:32
“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
“....claiming that Jesus came to him in a dream in 2018 and told him: “On the 23rd and the 24th of September, 2025, I will come to take my church.”
Odd how Jesus was able to get all of the timing of the feasts correct with regard to local time back when he was in the Holy Land, but is having difficulty now with local time. (According to this dream, Jesus got the date wrong - not the “pastor”).
Of course Jesus used the Hebrew calendar. According to the interwebs, today is the 15th of Tishrei, 5786 on the Hebrew calendar.
But what do I know. I don’t believe Jesus is EVER taking His church anywhere. I believe He is coming back to BE with His church on a new earth and a new heaven.
October 14 would be a good date. It is the birthday of George Floyd (representing the Evil side) and also the Birthday of Charlie Kirk (Representing the Good side).

just sayin’
Well, the real feast of trumpets is connected to the lunar calendar and has already happened, the idea that it changes in the Julian calendar is incorrect because the new moon determines the timing.
I don’t wish to be too critical because by a chain of compensating errors, the prophet has stumbled into a more plausible date, the Feast of Tabernacles which begins with the full moon tonight.
I am also not a literal Rapture believer, taking the prophecy to mean a worldwide joyful recognition of the return of Christ rather than the taking away of the faithful in order to leave behind an earth doomed to punishment.
So we are probably living on borrowed time now, if anyone thinks the second coming is far off and not yet possible because antecedent signs have not been witnessed, then ...
... TURN ON YOUR DAMN TV !!!
