In this blog, I report on signs of the times indicating the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ to collect His holy, righteous, and pure Bride. I also provide prophetic revelations and teaching on the topic.
As the Scripture says,
"When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.' And in the morning, 'There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?" (Mat 16:2-3)
We must not be like the religious leaders of Jesus' day, who could not discern the signs of the times. Instead, we must be like the sons of Issachar spoken of in the Bible, who understood the signs of the times, and knew what their nation should do (1 Chr 12:32).
"But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. (Mat 24:29-33)
Some of the topics covered include the rapture, signs in the sun, moon, and stars, the antichrist, the mark of the beast, persecution, martyrdom, repentance, preparation, the judgment of God, and His wrath upon the wicked.
Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you
repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible
says?
“Jesus
came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time
is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in
the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and
believe.

The Lord has led me to post this article about the great number of people who have independently received dreams, visions, and confirmations about Jesus coming soon. The number of these has been increasing more than ever lately, but a few of them have received indications that it will happen this year in 2025 in the month of September, specifically during the two-day Jewish Feast of Trumpets, which is from the 22nd through the 24th of that month.
I understand that no man knows the day or the hour (Mt 24:36), and I am not setting any dates. I have written elsewhere about the error of rapture date setting. But the Scripture does say that we can know the season of His return. Jesus clearly said that just as the leaves budding on the tree indicate the nearness of the summer season, so also the signs of the times that He said would happen before His return will indicate to us the nearness of His return when we see them occurring. He said, "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door." (Mat 24:32-33). Folks, we can clearly discern from the signs of the times all around us that His return is now right at the door, and the Lord clearly said this because He does not want us to be ignorant about the timing of His return. "Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets." (Amo 3:7)
Moreover, in Joel 2 and Acts 2, the Scripture says that as the Lord pours out His Spirit in the last days, many will be having dreams and visions, and that is exactly what's been happening, the frequency of which is increasing. It says, "In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams." (Act 2:17).
Now let's jump right into the dreams and visions.
Jesus Told Man He Would Return September 2025
A man from South Africa named Joshua Mhlakela says the Lord told him in 2018 (seven years in advance) that the rapture would occur between September 23rd and 24th in 2025. It is important to note that the Lord did not reveal to him the day or hour, and that the Feast of Trumpets, also known as Rosh Hashanah (Yom Teruah), is sometimes referred to as the "day and hour that no man knows" (see article about this here).
The Lord also told him at that time that there would be no World Cup games in 2026, because of the drastic changes that will happen in the world after the rapture, which will cause the world to be unrecognizable. At the time the Lord told him that, he did not even know that there was supposed to be a World Cup championship in 2026, since he doesn't follow soccer (known as football in Africa).
I watched the whole video on 1.75x speed with close captions (recommended). This man shares some very interesting things at the beginning, and I can see from that part, and from what he shared in the rest of the video, that he seems to be a humble man. Jesus said you will know them by their fruit (Mt 7:15-20). He discloses most of what he needs to convey in the part of the video from 25:00 to 45:00 (20 minutes, which will take you a little more than 10 minutes to watch on 1.75x).
You can watch the video below or on Youtube here. Pray about this and ask the Lord to confirm whether this was from Him.
Woman Told by Boy in February Dream "7 months" Indicating Feasts of Trumpets 2025
A woman says she had a dream in February 2025, in which there was chaos going on, there were ashes falling from the sky, people seemed to be looking for missing loved ones, and there was a seven or eight-year-old boy covered in ashes and wearing sackcloth with his head shaved, who was screaming over and over, "approximately seven months!" After she woke up, she checked the calendar and seven months from the time she had the dream in February would be around the time of the Feast of Trumpets called Rosh Hoshanana. Watch the video below or on Youtube here.
Special-Needs Boy's Rapture Dream
A woman named Lauren says her special needs son, who is autistic, told her about a dream he had. Her autistic son's dream was completely accurate on all of the following points, which he could not have known unless the Lord revealed it to him:
1. His saw his sister in heaven that he was never told about, who had been aborted, and he even spelled her exact name (Sienna) that his mother Lauren secretly told God to name it. 2. He said the girl was seven years old in heaven and his mother Lauren says the baby was conceived seven years ago. 3. He saw his brother Joshua in heaven that even Lauren apparently didn't know about, who was Sienna's twin. 4. He saw his relative Solomon Ignatius, who raised Lauren, even though the boy never knew anything about him. He tried to spell Igantius, but when that was too difficult for him, he spelled "Solomon". 5. He saw the man he had known as his "grandpa", who was not actually his biological grandfather, who had died of cancer recently, who told him, "Life never ends."
Lauren vouches for him that the boy does not lie or have the capacity to make things up, since he is like a toddler at age fifteen, unable to care for himself; she does everything for him (bathing, feeding etc.). And she has verified that he stated everything accurately.
Any statistician would tell you that the chances of the boy guessing that he had a sister named Sienna who died six years earlier would be astronomically small. It is virtually impossible for him to know that. But the statistical probability of this autistic boy also knowing the name of the man who raised his mother is even lower. The odds of him knowing those two things is essentially zero.
Therefore, when he says his sister Sienna in heaven, who is now seven, told him, "Jesus is coming to rapture you in September," I don't take that lightly, especially since it agrees with what multiple other people are getting about a September rapture. I personally hope it's true.
(As a side note, to add further clarity, I understood from the video that Lauren's biological father did not raise her, since her mother divorced him, and remarried another man (Solomon Ignatius) who died of cancer when Lauren was nineteen years old. After he died, her mother married her third husband, whom her autistic son knew as "grandpa", who recently died of cancer , and his "grandpa" made it to heaven, too. He is the one who told the boy, "Life never ends.")
A man named Lewis Rogers from Massachusetts had seen on Youtube the first video featured in this article about Joshua, and some other videos, in which the Lord said that the rapture will occur in September 2025. But Lewis struggled with that, finding it hard to believe, and he needed to know if what those people said was truly from God. So he and his wife fasted and prayed earnestly for God to reveal to them whether it was Him who revealed this to these people. This is exactly what everyone reading this should be doing, so the Lord can speak to you personally.
The Lord poured out His Spirit upon Lewis in a mighty way and spoke to him very clearly confirming these messages that others have received. The Lord said, "Tell My world that I love them. Tell My world I am coming so soon! I am coming so soon! And My wrath is just, my wrath is near. I am at the door. But so many of them don't love Me." God let him know that He is sad. He is hurting, because so many souls don't love Him and don't live for Christ. He is so upset, because the world is so bad to His Son. They abuse His name all the time. They don't appreciate the work of the cross that Jesus did for them, and it hurts the Father. The Father is so sad, because He wants everyone to repent and give their lives to Him, but so many don't. He was grieving.
Lewis heard the Lord say, "September, September, September, September." Then he heard the days, "23rd, 24th. 23rd, 24th." The Lord said, "I am coming for My Church September 2025." Even after all this, Lewis still had doubts later on and prayed again asking the Lord if He had heard correctly, and the Lord confirmed it in multiple ways to Him, including through a dream in which his wife told him the Lord is coming back in September 2025.

Comments
One person with username HumbleServantofGod-777 commented on the first video featured above saying, "Ever since my Near-Death Experience as a teenager, every time I ask Jesus when I will see Him again, He always gives me the song 'See You In September.' He never gave me a day or a year, but lately He has been hinting that it is THIS Sept!"
Another viewer with the username magwinyamangola5473 commented, "Late last year 2024, I also dreamt [the] rapture happened in 2025."
A viewer by the username @ConfrescoCreative commented on Joshua's testimony saying, "Back in 1994 the Lord had me write this date in my Bible! September 23 and 24th. I knew it was prophetic and concerning the rapture. But didn’t know the year. When I heard this brother speak this I instantly recalled this date!"
A viewer of Joshua's testimony called RandomViewss wrote: "So a little over two years ago while working I would always listen to the Bible on YouTube; and one night I had a dream. In the dream I walked with Moses and a group of people through a desert. Moses walked up to me and handed me a yellow sticky note that said 'September 23rd or 24th'. When I woke up, I couldn't figure out which date, and up until watching this video I couldn't understand why. So when [Joshua] said [that] Jesus specifically said 'Exodus on September 23/24,' I shook deep in my body. I've had a yellow sticky note on my mirror with those dates on them ever since I had that dream."
Yet another one called neminorthern5065 wrote, "Whoa! Last year, I had a dream and just heard 'September 23,24 & 25' I had this dream around August of last year [2024]. WOW! WOW!"
Viewer @frankahof7195 commented that "Tom Horn mentioned the month [of the rapture]. It’s written in his book that I just read. It’s the feast of trumpets, he says, in September 2025!!! Shout it from the rooftop!!" He is referring to the late Tom Horn's book written four years ago before he died, called Zeitgeist 2025: Countdown to the Secret Destiny of America. Author Tom Horn, died in October 2023.
Still another viewer by the username @rainabanks7797 commented: "So on July 8th 2025, I was praying, and I heard God say '76'; and I felt like adding 76 days from that day, and [when I did so] I landed on Sep 23rd, and I freaked out because everyone's [saying] September 22-24 is the rapture on feast of trumpets. I asked Jesus 'what about it!?' And I heard 'Gone with the wind.'"
Someone else called @Libanesa-km7ir wrote: "On June 30, 2025, I had a dream, in which I was told that in 3 months I'm going to be on a leave of absence. I heard a song in the background playing, [which is] titled Take Me Home Tonight." Maranatha, come, Lord Jesus!
Scriptures
The rapture is taught in Scripture. Here are just a few of the verses that speak about this time when God will send His angels to "catch away" or "snatch up" (Greek, harpazo) the saints:
"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." (1Th 4:16-17)
"Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality." (1Co 15:51-53)
"After he said this, He [Jesus] was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 'Men of Galilee,' they said, 'why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.'" (Act 1:9-11)
After the rapture comes an hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth (Rev 3:10). This hour of trial is known as the Great Tribulation, which is a seven year period.
Jesus said, "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened." (Mat 24:21-22; cf. Dan 12:1)
Closing Words
There are numerous other revelations that also point to a rapture this fall, but I am only sharing these with you to be concise and because these are the most compelling ones of all. Everything must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. Consider that not only was it statistically impossible for that autistic boy to know the things he did, but that it is also even more statistically impossible that there are also multiple other revelations that he could not have known about that also point to a September 2025 rapture. Now consider the sheer statistical improbability that not only the autistic boy, but that all these other people independently received the same message, too!
I recommend that you please take all of these prophecies and revelations to the Lord in prayer, and ask Him to confirm to you whether they are from Him or not. As the apostle Paul wrote: "Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good." (1 Thes 5:19-21). Let's not be like the Sadducees and Pharisees, whom Jesus criticized as hypocrites, because they could not interpret the signs of the times, even though they could discern weather patterns in the sky (Mt 16:3; Luke 12:56).
We should always be ready for Jesus' return at any time, watching, praying, and keeping our lamps burning (see video); but I think these are certainly significant warnings that should put us all on high alert for the rapture this September. I am not saying the rapture will occur in September, although I think the probability is extremely high that He will do so. In fact, I think the chances of the rapture not occurring this year are approaching zero. I sense in my spirit, as most of us do, that the time of the rapture is very near, and certainly hope it happens this fall.
Whether you believe it or not, one thing is for sure -- Jesus is coming back soon! You need to get your life right with Jesus right now. Give your life to Jesus before the rapture happens and before the Great Tribulation begins. Repent and return to the Lord with fasting and prayer, seeking His face with all your heart, proving your repentance by your deeds.

Did you know that the Feast of Trumpets is also called the "day and hour that no man knows"" A simple search on the internet yielded the following information:
The Feast of Trumpets, also known as Rosh Hashanah (Yom Teruah), is sometimes referred to as the "day and hour that no man knows". This is because the exact timing of the feast was traditionally determined by the sighting of the new moon by two witnesses, making the precise moment of its beginning unknown until it was officially announced. This uncertainty surrounding the start of the Feast of Trumpets is why the phrase "no one knows the day or the hour" is sometimes associated with it, according to Prepare for Life Bible Study.
Here's why:
New Moon Sighting:
Rosh Hashanah begins on the first day of the seventh month (Tishrei) in the Jewish calendar, and the exact day was determined by the sighting of the new moon.
Witness Testimony:
Two appointed witnesses would need to confirm the new moon sighting to the Sanhedrin (the Jewish court) before the feast could be declared.
Uncertainty:
Due to factors like weather and the potential for delays in the witnesses' reports, the exact moment of the new moon and the subsequent start of the feast was not known in advance.
Figurative Language:
The phrase "no man knows the day or the hour" is also used figuratively in the Bible, particularly in Matthew 24:36, to emphasize the unexpected and potentially sudden nature of certain events, like the return of Jesus according to some interpretations.
The above information is courtesy of Google's generative AI.
The Feast of Trumpets this year will occur sometime between the evening of Monday September 22 to Wednesday September 24, 2025. Please see my article, Many Revelations Concerning September 2025 Rapture.
