In a video that has sparked widespread attention across faith-based communities online, Pastor Joshua Mhlakela has claimed that Jesus Christ will return to Earth on the 23rd and 24th of September 2025.
The South African preacher made the statement during a recorded testimony, asserting that the message was divinely revealed to him.
Pastor Mhlakela stated that he had experienced a supernatural vision in which he was shown the future. According to his account, he was taken by God to witness events yet to unfold and was then returned to the present with a clear message. He described seeing Jesus seated on His throne and hearing His voice distinctly.
“The rapture is upon us whether you are ready or not. What people are hearing from me is God revealing his plan. God took me to see the future and then brought me back. I saw Jesus sitting in his throne and I can hear him very loud and clear saying that I am coming soon. He said to me on the 23rd and 24th of September 2025, I will come back to the Earth,” Mhlakela said.
Online reaction to Pastor Mhlakela’s rapture vision
The video has circulated widely on platforms such as YouTube and TikTok, where viewers have expressed a mix of awe, scepticism, and spiritual reflection. While some believers have embraced the prophecy as a call to prepare for the rapture, others have questioned the specificity of the date and the theological implications of such claims.
Despite the controversy, Pastor Mhlakela’s message continues to gain traction, particularly among audiences seeking prophetic insight into end-times events. His declaration has reignited discussions around biblical prophecy, eschatology, and the role of modern-day revelations within Christian communities.
As the date approaches, religious observers and followers of Pastor Mhlakela are likely to keep a close watch on developments, interpreting his vision as either a spiritual warning or a moment of profound significance.
