Some pastors and social media users are claiming that the Biblical event known as the Rapture is set to begin on September 23, 2025, just days away. They say believers will be taken to heaven while non-believers face the Tribulation, a seven-year period of chaos and suffering. The date coincides with the Jewish Feast of Trumpets, and figures like Pastor Joshua Mhlakela and messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn have linked it to visions and prophecies of Jesus’ return.
Despite the buzz online, skeptics and other religious leaders warn against setting a specific date, citing Matthew 24:36 which says no one knows the exact time of Jesus’ return. Still, social media clips have caused a surge of excitement, with some Christians reportedly preparing for the event.
