Did the September 2025 Rapture Get Cancelled?

Dear All,

As I have already written in my previous article, there were Many Revelations Concerning the September 2025 Rapture, which most of you are aware of by now. I know that many people are confused as to why it didn't happen on one of the two days mentioned by so many people, specifically September 23rd or 24th. And others are rightfully disappointed.

I want to be clear that I never guaranteed anybody that the rapture would happen on those dates. What I did say was this: "I am not setting any dates...the Scripture does say that we can know the season of His return. 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." I counseled my audience to be on "high alert for the rapture during the month of September. I am not saying the rapture will definitely occur on September 23rd or 24th, although I think the probability is extremely high that it will happen." My message has not changed. 

Moreover, I had a disclaimer at the end of my articles that said: "You must take responsibility for your own actions. Nobody knows the day or the hour, and in no way am I date setting. This is only to provide you with information, so that you can make your own decisions, for which you will be accountable to God."

There is nothing wrong with advising people to be on high alert during a particular high watch period. After all, the Lord has commanded us regarding His return to watch and pray (Mk 13:33, 36-37). And He was very clear that He is coming very soon, which was said and written 2,000 years ago. John said at that time, "This is the last hour" (1 Jn 2:18) and "the time is near" (Rev 1:3); and Paul said, "The time is short" (1 Co 7:29). John said that what the Lord gave him to write in the book of Revelation "must soon take place" (Rev 1:1). Jesus said, "I am coming soon!" (Rev 22:7, 12). At this point in 2025, we can honestly say we are in the final moment. We can truly say with the apostle: 

"And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light." (Rom 13:11-12)

Some people want to believe and act as if the whole world was hanging on the words of Joshua Mhlakela (pictured left), and that he was the only one claiming that the Lord told him the rapture would occur on September 23rd or 24th. They want to make it seem as though everyone else simply got confirmations of brother Joshua's testimony, but that is definitely not the case. It's true that many people did get confirmations, but others received words that they sincerely testified were from the Lord that were completely independent of brother Joshua's testimony, quite a number of which were received long before he went public with his testimony.

Messages to Review and Pray About

Please review the following messages, most of which I previously shared, and others that are new. Please bring them to the Lord in prayer to ask if these people are false prophets, and if the autistic boy is a false prophet. There is no need to respond to me about it, or argue and debate with me about it, but just talk to the Lord and then keep it between you and the Lord.

4. Five-year old boy

A lady with the screenname @stephaniemccullough1582 commented on August 17, 2025, "Good morning, brother. I wanted to share [what] my 5-year old son Jaxon told me this morning; he said, “38 more days, mama, and Jesus is coming!!'” That comes to September 24th.

5. Six-year-old autistic boy

Another viewer commented, "On the 13th of this month [Sept. 2025], I woke up, and was just told by my six-year-old son, ‘Jesus is coming back soon.’ And when I asked him how many days, he answered, ‘10 days.’ My jaw dropped and I was speechless. I then asked, ‘Who told you?’, he said, ‘Jesus.’ I asked, ‘Did you see Him?’ and he said, ‘Yes,’ and he had a big smile on his face. My son is autistic and he [normally] either says, ‘I don't know,’ to a question or speaks of his big numbers. That was my confirmation recently.”

14. My dear brother in Christ and one of our trusted DTS graduates in Nigeria, John, told me on September 24th, "I have treasured the words the Lord sent to me [on September 17th] deep in my heart, and I return to them from time to time as I seek to fully understand what He is saying concerning the rapture. I am convinced that Jesus is already at the door.

The Lord sent me these words while I was earnestly seeking Him to go with me, even as I continued preaching the gospel every day:

“These days, the right things are done quickly, not slowly. So hold your breath and never accelerate wrongly, but move with speed in doing what is right. Keep watching and praying, for your Father, who owns everyone, shall appear in a short while, and every eye shall see Him.”

These words have remained a constant reference point in my walk with Him. They remind me daily of the urgency of living in obedience and preparing for His return.

Even if it does not happen in September or on any predicted date, I am not waiting for dates—I am waiting for Jesus. So, I will not be discouraged if dates fail, because it is the dates that fail and not Jesus...Until now, I have not shared these words with anyone—but I believe the time has come to testify of them, so that others may also be encouraged to keep watching, keep praying, and keep preparing for the Lord’s return."

15. Another one of our trusted graduates in South Sudan, Henry, wrote to me on September 24, 2025: "It's very important to be ready all the time for His coming, because according to the messages we are receiving from God, time is over, and it's gonna happen too quickly-- in a second. Thank God, because my team and [I are] continuing in the same faith, and preaching the gospel to many without any disappointment or complaint."

16. Woman Has Vision of Only Few Being Raptured

The woman named Sarah, who had this vision,  didn't know the warning message of the Lord's coming back that Grace had come with. She knew nothing about brother Joshua's testimony. The voice told her in this vision on August 23rd, 'Jesus is coming back very soon and the Church is not ready!!!' You must go back and reread it please, and take it to the Lord asking if she is a false prophet, just as all the other 15 listed above!

17. A 9-Year-Old Boy, Gives Rapture Date 

On September 10, 2025, a Youtube viewer with the handle AvyNashMagGD6903 wrote: “On the night of August 11th, 2025, the Lord Jesus appeared in the main hall of my home. At that time, my 9-year-old son woke up to go to the washroom. Around 1:00 a.m., while we were asleep in the bedroom, he heard unusual sounds coming from the kitchen. Curious, he went closer. From beneath the bedroom door, he noticed a bright light shining through. When he opened the door slightly, he saw the Lord Jesus standing in the hall, clothed in white garments, radiant with heavenly glory. Jesus called to my son and said, ‘My child, are you not sleeping?’ Then he lovingly embraced him, and spoke with him at length. First, the Lord showed him the nail marks on his hands and feet, as well as the wound near his heart, pierced during the crucifixion. Seeing this, my son was deeply grieved and moved to tears.

After this, Jesus took my son to heaven and revealed many things. My son could hear both the Father's voice and the Son's voice. The Father spoke to him saying that on September 21, Sunday, during the time of worship between 11:00 a.m. and 12:59 p.m., darkness would come. This dreadful darkness could arrive one day earlier, but most likely it would be on that Sunday. While standing before the throne of God, the Father also told him that on September 24, Wednesday, he desired to come. However, if the Father chose to change His decision and come earlier on the morning of the 21st before the darkness, Jesus said he would personally reveal it to my son through his voice.

"On the night of August 24, after prayer, my son shared about the Lord's coming and the coming days of wrath that the Father had revealed to him. But later, he forgot the exact day of the rapture. While before the throne, he had also seen the Father weeping, grieving over the world he had created, mourning that so many remained unprepared, yet longing for the return of His son for His ready children. I then told my son, ‘Ask Jesus again. If it is his will, He will reveal the date once more. After all, He has already taken you directly to heaven and shown you these things before the throne of God.’ So my son prayed a short prayer just for one minute. Immediately Jesus answered through his voice saying, ‘My son, why did you forget? Very well, I will tell you again. 24th of September, 2025.’ At once, my son told me that the Lord had spoken directly to him. I handed him the phone, and he quickly opened the calculator and typed the date '2492025' [meaning 24/9/2025]. He said, ‘The Father Himself gave me this date.’ The Father also said that this is the date He intends to send His son, but if He changes His decision, He will inform my son beforehand. My son has been given the gift of hearing the Lord's voice clearly. Each time he prays, he often receives answers instantly. Jesus also told him, ‘When the darkness comes, if you are in the church during prayer on Sunday, remain there. Keep your doors closed and do not let the outside darkness enter your home. This darkness will last for 3 days. Do not eat or drink during this time, but remain in prayer.’” 

Naysayers Declaring Jesus is Not Coming

There are many naysayers and mockers saying that they know for sure our Lord Jesus is definitely not coming back during this month of September, others even saying He is not coming back this year, and some saying He is never coming back at all. We know that they are all wrong, because the Bible clearly says He is coming soon and it teaches us that the rapture will occur when He comes (1 Thes 4:16-17; 1 Cor 15:51-52).

They love to quote the words of Jesus found in Matthew 24:36 out of context that no man knows the day or the hour, yet they confidently assure us all that they know when He is NOT coming. By assuring us that Jesus is NOT coming during any period, they err and do the very thing they are accusing others of doing. They claim to know when the Lord is NOT coming, which is equally as unknown as the exact day or hour when He will come.

 

Peter spoke of these people in his epistle saying, "Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, 'Where is this "coming" he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.'"  (2Pe 3:3-4).

Just be careful that you do not become one of them.  

Closing Words

People, my faith is much deeper than a date. My faith is in Jesus Christ my Lord, and I will continue to serve Him as before.

My counsel to every one of you is to take all of these to the Lord with fasting and prayer, asking Him if these were from Him (as I previously recommended), or if all these six children and eleven adults, including our own DTS graduates, and the lady named Sarah who doesn't know about Joshua, are all FALSE PROPHETS, as so many mockers and scoffers are apparently saying. 

Some people seem to want them to suffer the death penalty for Old Testament false prophets according to the Mosaic law. They remind me of the people who brought to Jesus the woman caught in adultery, saying that the Law of Moses commanded them to stone such people. But the Lord did not condemn her, and I am quite sure he does not condemn the people I have listed above. He has, however, taught us how to Test the Spirits of False Prophets.

All that I have written here, as well as your responses verbally and non-verbally, are all being recorded in heaven, so choose carefully how you respond. Make a good decision that you will be glad about for eternity and not regret.

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 to happen very soon, even during the month of September. I am not saying the rapture will definitely occur during September 2025, although I think it is still a high watch period.  

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.

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?"
