The claim comes from Joshua Mhlakela, a preacher who shared what he calls a “divine prophecy” via YouTube and an interview with Centtwinz TV. According to Mhlakela, Jesus appeared to him in a vision and revealed the exact date of His return - an event that Mhlakela says will align with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. The Rapture represents a crucial element of Christian doctrine, where all faithful believers will ascend to heaven to escape the Tribulation. While some believe in a “pre-tribulation” Rapture, occurring before a time of great suffering, others hold a “post-tribulation” view, expecting it after. The specific dates given by Mhlakela - September 23 or 24 - coincide with Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Feast of Trumpets, a holiday many Christians believe is symbolic of end-times prophecy.
