A brother in Christ named Bobby Carlton posted a video on
his Youtube channel on September 2nd, 2025, testifying about how the Lord had confirmed to him personally that what South African brother Joshua Mhlakela said the Lord showed him in 2018 is really true about the rapture happening on September 23rd or 24th of 2025. I would link to Bobby's video here, but for some odd reason, his video has been removed, so I will give you a brief summary of it.
Bobby heard brother Joshua's testimony, which I have written about in my article called
Many Revelations Concerning September 2025 Rapture, so he decided to pray and ask the Lord for a confirmation. He asked the Lord that if what Joshua says is truly from God that the Lord would let him open his Bible with his eyes closed and point to a verse about the end times. So he randomly opened his Bible with his eyes closed and put his finger on the page. When he opened his eyes, his finger was on Zech 14:1 about a day of the Lord, which says, "A day of the LORD is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls." (Zec 14:1). In his Bible, right above the verse, the section beginning with that verse is titled something like "The Coming Day of the Lord". So he took that as a confirmation, because he normally doesn't read from his big Bible, but from a digital one on his phone, and he has not read Zechariah in years. His Bible is like 1,000 pages or more, so he knew that this was no coincidence that he opened right to that passage immediately after praying as he did.
Later he prayed again and did the same thing, but this time as he opened the Bible, he felt like the Lord was telling him to let it open right where his left thumb was holding the pages on the left side. When he did so and pointed to a verse, it opened to Exodus in the very passage about the exodus of the Israelites. His finger was pointing to a specific verse about their exodus, too. He felt that was another confirmation, since the Lord had told Joshua that the "exodus" of the Bride of Christ would occur in the year when Israel celebrates their 77th anniversary from 1948.
Here is a comment that Bobby's daughter (@rooneytooney0925) wrote in the comments section below his video:
"Ladies and Gentlemen this is my Dad.
I have had my own personal confirmations. A few weeks ago like many people of course probably, I have had rapture anxiety being afraid I am not going to make it. So I asked the Lord to give me a confirmation from his word that I'm going to be okay and that I'm going to go when the rapture happens. Whenever I opened up my Bible I sat it down on my living room table with my eyes shut and continued to asked the Lord that. Then I looked down and my eye caught the following scripture.
Jeremiah 30:7 KJV
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
So I was encouraged by that. Then on Sunday August 27, I was on my way to church that morning and I looked right in front of me at the car in front of me and it had a temporary license plate tag that said September 24th 2025. To me I look at that as a confirmation because what are the odds that I would get behind a vehicle that said that.
So then later on that day, I went grocery shopping and I thought to myself that would be so neat if God confirmed to me with a second confirmation by having my groceries come out to as a total as one of those dates. And I kid you not, my total came out to $9.23.
You can call me crazy for believing that God confirmed that he is coming in those ways. But please be kind and respectful with your comments. All ugly and negative comments will be deleted
Maranatha! The Lord is coming very soon!"

Another person (@rainescook7533) left a written comment in response to Bobby's video stating:
"I've been patiently praying for a confirmation about Joshua's prophecy for weeks and nothing. After hearing you [Bobby] say you receive words from the Lord this way, I was led to do the same. I paused your video, grabbed my Bible out of my nightstand, and [randomly] opened it to Amos 3:6 (the first words on the page I opened to): 'The alarm has sounded, listen and fear! For I, the Lord, am sending disaster into your land. But always, first of all, I warn you through my prophets. This I now have done." [Amos 3:6-7]. I was floored. My eyes were glued to the word "always" in verse 7 and I thought of Joshua. I'll see you guys soon."

Wow! Amazing. That's the famous verse from Amos that we've been quoting with regard to the Lord showing the rapture season to brother Joshua and countless people around the world in advance of the rapture. The verse in the NIV states it like this: "When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble? When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it? Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets." (Amo 3:6-7)

"I also did the same thing. [At] midnight [I] prayed [for an] open Bible confirmation, and I opened to 2 Kings 2 verse 2 about Elisha and Elijah."

The verse says, "Elijah said to Elisha, 'Stay here; the LORD has sent me to Bethel.' But Elisha said, 'As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.' So they went down to Bethel." (2Ki 2:2).
Note that this verse in 2 Kings 2:2 is about the time when Elijah was about to be taken up to heaven in a whirlwind in his own personal rapture.
Another viewer (@connien1010), who's a new believer, wrote this:
"As I started this video, and heard you say that you opened your Bible and prayed that God will give you a sign that if this is true, [you would] open up to a passage that confirms this, I did the exact same thing. I prayed, closed my eyes, and opened up to Psalm 45; and my eyes fixated to verses 13-17!!!!
[It says,] 'The bride, a princess, looks glorious in her golden gown. In her beautiful robes, she is led to the king, accompanied by her bridesmaids. What a joyful and enthusiastic procession as they enter the king’s palace! Your sons will become kings like their father. You will make them rulers over many lands. I will bring honor to your name in every generation. Therefore, the nations will praise you forever and ever.' I started bawling immediately. I’ve been asking for a sign clear as day for so long, and never received it until now ❤ WE ARE GOING HOME THIS MONTH!!!!!😭
Also a little bit of backstory about me , I never even owned a Bible until 11 months ago! I have been going to church for 10 months, and haven’t even made my way through the entire Bible yet, and haven’t even read Psalms yet; but God led to me to it and confirmed!!!! 🎺 👼🏻

"That's right brother. I was praying when I was mowing grass on Saturday afternoon, and I asked the Lord to give me confirmation. Then a yellow butterfly appears and starts flying around me😊. When I first got saved, I saw butterflies a couple different times when I was praying, so I started to relate butterflies with the Holy Spirit. Many times, I'm praying, and a butterfly appears out of nowhere. I know it is God."
Closing Words
Those were some amazing confirmations that Bobby and his daughter received, and that others also received, who were inspired by him to ask God for their own confirmations. I read through the comments when the video was still available, and most of the comments were very positive and uplifting like the ones above, but there were quite a few from the naysayers that were so negative and even ugly or mean. Perhaps that is why Bobby removed the video from his channel, because he didn't need all that hurtful negativity in his life. I don't know if that was the reason. But fortunately I had already sent the above comments to a few family and friends before the video got deleted. Before I found out it was deleted, I was telling my son that this would actually make an interesting article of its own, but now I see that the Lord was leading me to write an article about it to preserve the truly encouraging content that was in it and the comments about it.
One person who had read my email with the content that's now in this article replied aptly saying, "This is genuinely remarkable. It is difficult to refute the perspectives of these individuals." That's so true!
I hope this has blessed you today. Be ready for Jesus' return. Prepare for the rapture (see
here for how to do so). Keep watching and praying, eagerly awaiting our Lord's return.

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.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "
Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
