SA PREACHER SAYS ‘RAPTURE’ IS HAPPENING ON ‘23, 24 SEPTEMBER’
In recent days, South African pastor Joshua Mhlakela has made headlines around the world after he claimed that the world would end this week.
Mhlakela also prophesied that Jesus himself would return to earth, as described in the book of Revelation.
The preacher claims that “Judgement Day” will take place on “23 or 24 September”.
Speaking on the Cettwinz TV YouTube channel, Mhlakea said in a video that has gone viral: “The Rapture is upon us. Whether you are ready or not.
“I saw Jesus sitting on his throne. And I could hear him very loud and clear saying, ‘I am coming soon.’”
The pastor added, “He said to me on the 23rd and 24th of September 2025, ‘I will come back to the Earth.’”
According to the preacher, Jesus’s return would be announced by the Feast of Trumpets, which would ring in the Rapture and Judgment Day.
On social media, Mhlakela’s claims have been met with mixed views from the public.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DATE
According to the South African pastor’s prediction, the “Rapture” could take place during a public holiday, which the country commemorates as Heritage Day.
The timeframe also takes place during Rosh Hashanah, which is the New Year in Judaism.
