This prediction of the rapture in September 2025 stems from statements by Pastor Joshua Mhlakela. “The rapture is upon us, whether you are ready or not,” Mhlakela said in an interview with CettwinzTV. Some Christian commentators often associate Rosh Hashanah with end-times narratives, citing the "blowing of God's trumpet" mentioned in the Bible as one of the signs. Several viral clips show individuals handing in resignations from jobs, selling possessions, and even liquidating their retirement savings. These life-changing financial decisions are being made in preparation for the rapture they believe will soon occur.
