The entire social media was flooded with the #RaptureTok, which claimed that the end time is near, and the world might end on September 23, 2025. It all began with Pastor Joshua Mhlakela's claims during an interview two weeks ago, when he stated that the world would end within 14 days. Since then, several videos have gone viral on TikTok. Some merely criticised the Rapture prophecy, while others were serious in form, with people claiming to have sold their earthly possessions because they believed in their hearts and souls that the end was near.
While it was claimed that the Rapture might occur on September 23, 2025, which coincided with Rosh Hashanah, considered the Jewish New Year, nothing like that happened, making it a hoax, as always. However, amid the recent trend's widespread popularity, let's take a look at what Pastor Joshua Mhlakela claimed to have seen in his vision regarding the Rapture.
Over the years, there have been several speculations about the end times, including the buzz about the planet Nibiru and the Mesoamerican apocalypse of 2012. Every time a hoax had occurred, people remained confused about whether the imaginary end times were real, and this time, it was a bit different, although not irregular. Earlier, the Rapture talk grabbed the attention, and all of them proved to be wrong.
Pastor Joshua Mhlakela, two weeks ago, sat for an interview on CENTTWINZ TV on YouTube, in which he claimed to have seen a vision about the Rapture being nearer than expected. He said that within 14 days, i.e., till September 23, 2025, the Rapture would occur, and whether people are ready or not, he was sure a billion times that it would happen.
When asked how he was so sure, Joshua said that he had a vision in which he saw Jesus Christ sitting on a throne, claiming that He was coming. He also claimed to have seen that the world would end and some 'powerful beings' would appear in the world, and would chase people around while feasting on human flesh. Joshua claimed to have witnessed piles of dead bodies in the darkness, and the 'powerful beings' calling people their 'lunch'. As bizarre and shocking as it sounds, the entire video was enough to cause a stir, to the extent that people even believed it and ended up selling properties, at least according to what they claimed on their social media handles. At the same time, it could also be a way to gain traction, although this has not been confirmed.

The Rapture, which many Christians believe to be the same thing, isn't as it is. There are several cross-beliefs about this event, with some claiming that both events are similar, while others argue that they are different. The Rapture itself doesn't appear in the Bible; it's mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, where it's claimed that believers in Jesus will be taken to the clouds to meet Him. On the other hand, the Second Coming is mentioned in Revelation 19 and Matthew 24, where it's claimed that Jesus Christ will return from heaven to judge the world and establish His kingdom.
There are several Christian beliefs about the Rapture, which some believe and some don't. There are beliefs that the Rapture may happen during, before or after the Tribulation, and the age of chaos and suffering in the world, when Christ will come down from heaven and first resurrect his dead followers first, followed by taking his current followers and the believers to the cloud, to save them from the earthly chaos and pain, where they will receive eternal bodies that will resemble Jesus Chirst glory.
