The claim that the rapture is happening tomorrow, on September 23, 2025, comes from South African evangelical pastor Joshua Mhlakela. He posted a video in which he said that Jesus appeared to him in a vision and told him the rapture would begin on the first day of the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah, which falls around September 23 or 24 this year. This prophecy has gone viral on social media, especially TikTok, where it has been dubbed "RaptureTok".
